I did end up buying the pH strips (no supplements) & Momo's urine pH went down to 6-6.5, where it should be. He has a recheck today @ 3.30pm, so hoping the struvite crystals are gone. He's been eating only the canned Hill's C/D enthusiastically & I think he's even gained a few ounces. Which is wonderful bc he's been losing weight even tho he's been eating well & always seemed hungry.
This whole kidney thing is still so new to me & I am hoping to learn more about it. It's overwhelming @ times when I don't understand what I'm reading or can't comprehend what the vet is saying...it's not a language barrier, I just need to find that one thing where it will just click in my mind. For now, I'm lost.
