Our Hana had a urinary tract infection and was on antibiotics for six weeks. Before that her urine was always normal.
Now the vet tells us that her pH reading is high (9, against a normal value of 5.5 to 6)and there is a presence of crystals. She has told us that Hana must change her food and we can only get the food through the vet. Needless to say that the food costs a fortune...about $20 for 3-days worth!
Anyone have any experiece with similar problems? Is this a lifelong thing or just a recovery phase from the UTI? Unfortunately vets here don't speak great English and they are not used to being "quizzed" by patients' owners.
