He said I will probably need to switch to one of the Hills prescription foods that they sell. I'm not thrilled with that because I know it's not the best quality food out there. Of course I also want to follow the vet's advice because I would never want to do anything to harm my fur baby. Does anyone know if there is another food out there that might work for a low protein diet to prevent bladder stones from reforming? |
The first question is to find out the kind of stones. Depending on the type of stone, you can find other options include a home cooked diet. when will you have the results?
