Joanna,

We must have been posting at the same time

In Eve's case the vet doesn't feel the stones in her bladder are of a significant size and are not causing the infection she's being treated for. However, knowing they do exist, he wants to keep a watchful eye on her progress and if necessary, we will investigate the stones further and perform surgery to remove them.

She is so healthy in every other respect that he feels her current diet is right for her and doesn't want to change things up on an assumption. I have fed her Innova for the 2 years she's been with us and she has really thrived. She has gained weight gradually, is strong and muscular, teeth and gums are excellent and, as we've discovered over the last few days thru testing, all of her vitals are 100% normal.

Personally I would follow the advice of others here (Glacier and Jen) who have experience with Calcium Oxalate conditions and try Daks on Royal Canin SO. It seems to work. Many years ago my male kitty had to be on Science Diet CD AFTER being treated for crystals by Hills SD. However, at the time Hills was the only company known for their special prescription diets for such conditions. I believe there are more (and better) choices today.

I hope Dakota feels better soon.
