So my dogs have had the food allergy thing on going, not perfectly fixed but doing really well since being on Fromme 4 Star for the last year or so. Seems my girl Gracie got a Urinary Tract Infection last fall, I took her in, got antibiotics; All was good. Then in December the symptoms showed up a gain, I take her to vet, its back. This time they do radiology to look for crystals in bladder. None found, do a longer stint on some different antibiotics. Things seem to clear up. Now in Jan, symptoms are back, take her in its still or again a UTI, more radioligy and this time they say there are crystals. Vet prescribes some very crappy food, no real meat in it, corn etc.. is first ingredient, but very high in salt to make her drink more water and dissolve/pass the crystal. He also says she should come off the fromme and find something else. We are now giving distilled water (we are on a well, vet suggested it is too hard).
Anyone know what quality dog food I should try with her, if not fromme ? I am out of the bag of crappy food, and dont want to keep her on it for long, so looking for something that might be better for her. Or is the vet crazy and fromme is just fine ? I need to make sure this does not get any worse as those crystals can be very painful and horrible if they turn into stones.
thx everyone.
