Oh for sure! Even if I think something isn't quite right, we are at the vets  He loves me because I catch everything before it gets bad, like ear infections. They are my babies, and it's MY job to make sure they are taken care of I wish they could talk (well, sometimes lol) but they can't so I'd much rather be safe than sorry!
Me too! If it wasn't for Chase's 3 year health screen, I don't know how I would have known. I have been rotating between Acana and Taste of the Wild for a long time, and they get Grandma Lucy's freeze dried Artisan in the morning and a spoon of wet in the evening with their kibble. I feel so guilty because my food choices were not the best choice for them, like I thought  |
Aww, don't be guilty. You were doing what you thought was best. Rex diets can help correct the problem, but that doesn't mean diet caused the problem (could have..depending, but maybe it didn't). I don't think you said what type of crystals were present, but if they are story items, there I almost certainly a uti that went undetected.
I would just have he vet pick food for the up with bladder issues from now on.
