Hi everyone.:) I thought I'd update you on Storm. I received his urinalysis results this morning and he's back to normal again.:D His urine was a bit concentrated though so my vet would like him to remain on the Royal Canin Urinary S/O diet instead of the Hills Prescription C/D diet. The Royal Canin wet food has a much higher moisture content than the Hills does and his previous normal urinalysis showed that his urine was much less concentrated when he was on the Royal Canin diet.
The diet change wouldn't have happened if my regular vet had been in town. She was out of the country on vacation when Storm had his problems. She would have also done a culture to make sure he really had a UTI. She seemed kind of upset about how the other vet handled Storm's situation. I trust her and she seems like the type that doesn't want to do anything that isn't necessary unlike some vets. She did recommend that he get regular 6 month urinalysis check ups so we can monitor him. Hopefully now that Storm is stress free again, he'll remain a happy healthy boy.:)
