Some of you may remember me posting about Raven a few months ago. he had two blockages caused by struvite crystals in a matter of a week or so and the second time around he was opened up and flushed out. it was all very stressful and since then he has been on hills s/d. well for about a month i have been trying to get a urine sample. finally got one the start of this week and it was sent off. i was rang up wednesday and told that there are still struvite crystals in his urine :(
he hasnt been showing any signs of problems urinating etc. the vet recommended to keep on with the s/d but i said that if it hasnt helped this far is it going to help much more? so he is now on the royal canin urinary food. he doesnt like it much though at all. ive been told he will need another urine test done in 6 weeks.
the problem is, how long will this go on for? if he still has the same thing in six weeks will i be told the same thing over again? it feels like a never ending pattern at the moment and i just hoped that someone who has had the same problems might be able to share their experience so i know my vet is doing this right.
the vet is nice enough but not the vet i usually see and trust so im finding it hard to trust everything he says. problem is i dont want to go asking a second opinion as they both work in the same clinic :?
can anyone help?
