Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile since I posted. Last week Pippin peed on the bed and on the rug. Even as a 12 week old puppy, she has never woken up in the middle of the night to pee. Even if she had to go out, she would sit and stare at me and give me a low growl. She also has been licking quite a bit. But she had no other symptoms.

A trip to the vet showed infection (gave an antibiotic) and struvite crystals. She said she would be on a prescribed diet always. She gave me samples of Hill Prescription c/d but said it didn't have to be that particular one.

I asked if the antibiotic and more liquids cleared it up, could she go off the diet. She said the crystals will likely come back.

I'm hesitant to put her on this special diet. My boss has a small dog that had surgery to remove stones and was put on a special diet. Because this was a high fat diet, last week he got pancreatitis.

Any thoughts? Anyone one else have a dog on a prescription diet for crystals?

Thank you so much!!!
