Warren Scout
TO summarise, Ralph was off colour and I took him to a 24 hour emergency vets a few weekends ago. Turns out he had a UTI.
He had some baytrill and I took a sample of his wee in to the vets yesterday so they could analyse it.
Good news is there was no sign of blood in it but it had a lot of sediment (yellowish and thick) this seperated and sunk to the bottom of the sample and his orangy red wee was at the top.
The vets reckon to stop feeding him pellets and to just feed him hay and greens (she said lettuce!) i mentioned lettuce was full of water and not recommended but she disagreed!
would pellets be the cause of this extra sediment in his wee!?
I would have thought it would have been the greens (kale and spring greens) that caused the sediment.. too much calcium etc...
has anyone got an opinion on this?
