My cat was diagnosed with calcium oxalate crystals and stones in her bladder. She will undergo surgery today. What is the best food/ type of food should I feed her after the surgery to avoid having this condition again?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I am sorry you and Sanjee are going through this. First I think it important to wait until the stone analysis is back before deciding 100% what to do diet wise. Even though she has calcium oxalate crystals doesn't mean the stone will be that exactly, though it is likely. Calcium oxalate stones are the hardest to prevent recurrence. I recommend Veterinary Prescription diets like Royal Canin SO, Hill's c/d or Purina UR. I also recommend monitoring urine pH and concentration. Calcium oxalate crystals form in more acidic (lower pH) urine. If the diet alone won't control the pH and keep it more neutral sometimes we have to add potassium citrate. I think periodic X-rays to check for recurrence are also important. There are many small white dogs that have had many cystotomies to remove calcium oxalate stones. I hope this helps and I wish Sanjee the best today for her surgery and a speedy recovery!

Our Aussie mix 1 year old pup Willow licks her paws after she’s been outside. And it’s not just one paw. My sister recommenced Zesty Paws to help. My question is, Willow is on reconcile that she takes once a day, is it safe to give her this too?
Yes, she can take both concurrently. I actually prefer Redonyl over Zesty Paws. It is a vet only item but you do not need a prescription. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=136578 The Redonyl is more cost effective for you too. She would need one of the 200mg chews once a day so the 120 count package will last you almost 3 months. She would need 2 of the Zesty Paws and that will only last you 45 days. Regardless of which product you choose, she is safe to take either one concurrently with the Reconcile. Good question!

Our 9-year old, 4 lb toy poodle has been on your Urinary Care food for a while following surgery for stones. We have a 16 month toy poodle who is on a different food. We'd like to get them both on the same food. We know that puppies need more protein
The urinary care food is a prescription diet to maintain PH at a level to prevent certain stones forming. If you give it to a dog who doesn't need it, it can actually cause the PH to change too much causing another type of stone to develop. Therefore I do not recommend feeding it to your other dog.

Dear sir/madam, I have female mixed race terrier. Year before, she had blader stone surgery. She has high alp and holesterol, other ok. She ate royal canine low fat, and drink mineral water ph8.8. Didnt analyze stone. Before ten days new stone and ne
It is possible that the new stone is struvite but I have seen where they are part one thing and part another no matter what they eat or drink. It is strongly recommended to have the new stone removed and analyzed if possible. If not, you could talk to your vet about options of prescription diet that may help to dissolve the stone. This method may or may not work depending on the type of stone. I hope this helps!
