I don't have any knowledge about this but it does not seem right 2 have it. Is it the food you wee/are feeding? I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be around this post soon.
I know my vet would have done cultures. |
Yes, both of them has the same struvite crystals! Princess has a lot of it.
My reg vet saw me w/Momo & asked how we're doing. He's so nice & caring, but I think we need to go somewhere else...it seems outdated here & IDK why she (the other vet) didn't do a culture & sensitivity when she saw that Momo still had the s/crystals after a month of being on the prescription food...also when I asked her why she didn't do it last time.
But I can't blame her bc I'm the one that didn't request it bc I forgot.
I'm reading conflicting info about food causing s.crystals, but have also read that prescription food doesn't help either.

Struvite crystals do not require a change in diet. Because struvite crystals do not pose a problem unless the dog has a urinary tract infection, there is no required treatment for crystals, including dietary changes. If the dog does have a urinary tract infection, a prescription dog food will not cure it.
