Where can I get the strips to monitor her PH? Our overweight 8 yr old mini poodle developed urinary stones (had an xray) for the second time in 2 years. She also had blood in her urine and felt the need to urinate often. Our vet prescribed Clavomox for the infection and Royal Canin urinary SO wet do food, which she hates, She also suggested Crananidin which I purchased. After 2 weeks on the antibiotics, her urine seems clear and I think the infection is gone. I don’t know how much longer she will be on this dog food, but she does not like it and it is hard to get her to eat it. I think if I can monitor her PH, perhaps I can prevent her from getting stones again. I don’t know if these stones have dissolved. Am hoping if I monitor the PH and it is below 7 we can prevent them from coming back. And I will give her the Crananidin (from Amazon), though it is expensive. Any other suggestions? I really don’t want to keep her on this dog food forever.
