I am so happy to announce that Momo is struvite crystal free! His full panel blood work & complete urinalysis came out perfect. When I called the vet, I was expecting bad news, but hoping it wasn't too bad & to hear that everything's perfect is such a great feeling!
Momo & Princess has been getting weruva canned mixed w/honest kitchen thrive for breakfast & moistened Canine Caviar Wilderness (Venison) grain free kibble for dinner. Then as a b4 bedtime snack, they all get homemade chicken broth mixed w/water, so they're getting a lot of moisture.
I've also noticed him drinking a lot more water. I've been giving them filtered water which has a pH of 7.5, so I switched to bottled water which has a pH of 7.
Princess has her recheck next week. Hoping all goes well for her too!
Can you believe the new vet also said culture & sensitivity is not necessary unless they see bacteria?
Told him I read on the internet (& he gave me this look
loll!) & was advised on a forum (didn't tell him which
) that it needs to be done & he kept shaking his head no.

How's Teddy doing Cathy? When Momo had his episode, I searched YT & also ran into a vid of Teddy having a seizure.
Give teddy gentle loving kisses from us!
