Hi Sharon,



Having the same problem with my 10yr old bitch.? She was spayed about 4 yrs 
ago.? Ran a full blood work upon her and it was normal.? She had a UTI and 
crystals in her urine.? I was also advised to take her off of raw food.? We put 
her on a course of antibiotics and a product called UTI Edge.? It is a powder 
form of d-Manosse, same thing in cranberries.? I also give her dried 
cranberries and yogurt.? Since we started this, she hasn't had any more 
accidents and seems to have less discomfort.? I originally put her on Eagle 
Pack Holistic Duck but after the Well Pet bought them out, I switched to 
California Naturals.? I would think any Holistic or natural kibble with few 
grain products would do the trick.? I was also told that boiled chicken or 
cooked ground beef could be added if she was finicky.? She's not so she only 
get's that as a special treat :-)



Hope this helps.



Laura

Hi Guy's
I have had a call from someone who has rescued a female GSD she is approx 2 
yrs old
They have had some issues with frequent potty calls and some accidents
I suggested they take her to the vet ( I thought a bladder infection)
She was spayed at 4 months so I also thought that could be the problem
It seems that the  urine PH is to  high and there are crystals in the urine
The vet wants her off the raw food ( Picky eater and this will not be easy)
Has anyone got any advice?  I thought crystals in the urine was a cat thing?
