Sky has just had her crystal results back (in a nutshell, she had operation for bladder stones) and they have come back as Struvite and she needs to go on a special diet. Now the cynic in me thinks that the analysis was done by Hills so it would surely be Hills food they would be pushing.....she has been put on Hills c/d urinary tract food. Or she will be when she realises it is that or nothing.
Normally she gets a mix of Felix/Sheba and Applaws a couple of times a week. She has a predominantly wet diet.
I don't just want to put her on Hills though without proper consideration of other alternatives. The Hills stuff does apparently work in stopping the crystals reforming but I'm not convinced that there isn't something that is better quality that would do the job just as well. Meatwise the wet is a better food than the felix or sheba. As of yet she isn't loving it - Robbie adored it!
Anyone any thoughts or ideas for a different type to try? There seems to be some uncertainty on the sites I have read as to what causes them to form. I don't want her to go through that again so will leave her on Hills if that is the best option for her - who knows, she may lose weight as she won't want to eat as much! :D
