Cali may need a diet change...due to her history I would look into this further. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
I asked the vet if I should be concerned because of her history and she didn't think it was related, but I really didn't have an appointment she just came out to the front desk to talk to me about the urine test results. She said something about clearing up the crystals before they get to the point of blood in the urine. I am a little concerned about the LS connection. Ok a lot concerned.I am going to have her blood work redone in a few weeks to see what it shows now that she's almost a year old. I feed her a diet of about 17% protein but I am going to but the liver food and see if i can get her to eat it. The last time she wouldn't.
