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. http://dogaware.com/articles/wdjstruvites.html
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. |
Don't blame yourself! She is the Vet and that is why you pay her. They should have done a culture. You should not have to ask them to or why they did not. Really I think any other vet would have done a culture.
What food are you feeding? Is it food related or bacteria/viral? How did they get them?
Did the vets say anything about how both Princess & Momo could have them at the same time?
