No complaints of problem in peeing or passing blood within the urine. The canine is fed Hill’s Canine C/D for six months to acidify the urine in order that the triple phosphate crystals are dissolved. The proprietor should not fed different meals throughout this time. A urine take a look at on the finish of 6 months needs to be performed. The canine was handled with antibiotics for urinary tract an infection and given acidurin tablets after the primary session. On Day 3, she nonetheless has slight problem in passing urine.
As the urine’s pH is 8.0 (alkaline) and there are triple phosphate crystals, I suggested therapeutic food regimen, Hill’s Canine C/D to acidify the urine and dissolve the crystals.
