I posted about I thought Vanilla was showing signs of a uti and then the symptoms went away and I later thought she was just depressed. I did end up taking her to the vet because she had drops of blood in her urine late one night. I got the results today.
There is no crystals but they found her PH to be at 8, blood was 3+ and red/white cells were off. She is now on Clavaseptim and doing very well. She had a UIT 6 months ago. The vet seems to think it is ALL food related. She has been on Grandma Lucy's and Acana. He siad she should be on a Hill's urinary diet because it is low in phosporous and magnesium and that is what is disturbing her PH. Grandma Lucy's is low in both so I will stick with that. She is also overweight..2-3 pounds. I have been giving her good food and try to do the best making sure she get fluids and all and now again another uti. Maybe i should try the Hill's .....I just don't know. I am going to buy some cranberry supplement and I heard celery is good for their PH levels. I hate when vets are so pushy with their food !
