Haven is 4 months old. I've had her on various brands of puppy food before she decided that she wanted what my male gets, and that's raw at night. She gets Innova in the a.m. Evening meal is chicken, pork or beef, with veggies, egg w/shell and suppliments. The problem: I got her at nine weeks and she had a rip roaring bladder infection with crystals. She's been treated, but her pH is still above normal at 7.5. The vet wants her off raw, stateing that bacteria from raw meat might be why she's not better. She was not on raw until a month ago. How do I convince the vet that raw is ok for her?
Kim, does she still have the infection? When I thought my pup had an infection and the urine was tested, it also tested higher than normal, but it always will on a raw diet. (It was not high enough for an infection though, blame it on first heat).
Get some powdered cranberry extract and add it to her food. If she has been on antibiotics, don't forget the probiotic supplement. And digestive enzymes if she is switching to raw.
Get rid of the Innova and go completely raw, I understand that it may have too much protein for a young pup and this may be the problem, kidneys working too hard.
Yes, she still has the infection. She is going in for x-rays in the morning, Vet is thinking bladder stone. Also he will do another urine test, as the first one might have been contaminated by the cup I used. I will get the things suggested. As for the Innova, I thought it was a good food, is this not so?
