Hi

I just signed up, but I need a bit of help.

My Yorkshire Terrier, Rolo had Bladder stones last year to the point that he was bleeding lots when he was going to the toilet, he had an operation, etc. and they got back to us with the results a few months ago. (Bad, I know). They told us that he will need food with less Calcium, and to move him from dry food to wet food. He is 7 years old, and has been on dry food all his life (as has his brother, Yorkie).

The problem I am facing is the fact that he is barely eating the wet food, and the same is with his brother. The vet told us he can go on dry food, as long as it is very low in calcium... but we are unable to find anything suitable, at all.

Does anyone know of any brands, or links to where I can buy online (in the UK please!) which offer low calcium foods?

I'm also curious as to what home-made food I can give him, at all?

Thank you!
