Chiming in on the ACV (just because I'm such a huge ACV nut) and have done extensive research (and tests, personally)ā¦
******Note: I do have an e-mail in to BRAGGS regarding the amino acid concernā¦because the amines are found in the Mother (the floating brown vein looking things) and that part distributed is not measured is why I suspect there is no mention of Amino content % wise.********
Apple Cider Vinegar has been shown to reduce, dissolve and help w/passing of stones (humans and canines). I quoted The Whole Dog Journal in a write up I did some time back that it clears and prevents urinary infections while acting as a natural antibiotic (keeping the good bacteria in-tact).
I have pages of note-worthy sites on research, articles and studies and have yet to find any info on ACV proven harmful to kidney-prone problemsā¦I am always updating my research, so please send me (reputable) links if you find anything on the contrary. I have no relation to the product or the company I prefer (Braggs), my advocacy on it is strictly based on how well it has worked for me and my family (and my dog). I would hate for this product to get a bad rep for making stones worse until more info is knownā¦it has been such a help to many owners and the issues they've battled. It's a great way to help keep vet bills down too because it's a great immune booster.
By no means do I mean for you two (Michele and Wes) to add it back in to the dietā¦I just want to be clear that there hasn't been any data supporting harmful effects on canine KD or the like. Once I receive a reply from Braggs about their amino content I will postā¦sorry for the long rant - there is so much mis-information on the internet and this is one topic where I pride myself on the extensive research from reputable sites that offer pertinent knowledge to the matter. ~ clarifying for those that may find this thread doing their own research...

I was just about to chime in... I had a diabetic cat and the first sign was his reoccurring UTI's. He was having them constantly, and then we found he was a diabetic. Does she drink a lot of water?
love her^
hoping this all goes well and you both recover quickly
