This is something I'd like to check with other cat owners. My grandfather told me when Hans got sick that years ago they blamed human bladder stones on something in the drinking water.
I had taken a sample of tap water in to the fish store to get it tested to see if it would be okay to use if treated. The girl tested the pH three times before telling me it was off the chart. She had never seen anything like it before. Their tests could only measure pH up to 9.5, and it's likely that my tap water here is around 11, or possibly more. I have to see about getting a test kit myself or finding a place that can measure higher levels.
Could this have caused Hans' bladder stones, instead of a change in diet like the vet and I had previously thought?
