When the urine pH is high, it can also form crystals, so I had to do everything I can to lower it. I got some Solid Gold pH strips & tested the water & their urine pH, so now they're drinking Gerber baby water which has a pH of 7 (so does regular bottled water). It probably doesn't make a huge difference, but it worked for us. I also avoided giving them any food(s) which are alkaline, like apples (most fruits & veggies)...even tho they love them. |
Thanks for the info. I'm going to start completely over with the new vet and get as much info as possible.
