I chose to wean her back to her regular food. We did it over a long period of time with regular urine checks. So far, she's back on her regular food with no problems but we're due to go have another check. It's been a long recovery but it can be managed. |
What is Sadie eating now? What was the permanent prescription food your vet suggested?
I think I'll make an appt to go in during the weekend (fortunately, our vet hosp is open 7 days a week) if I can't get her on the phone. I need to know asap b4 the New Year's Holiday if he needs a urine culture done or not.
Hope Sadie continues to do well & her next test comes out neg for any crystals. Please keep us posted!
