So Munchie
has been in the clear for a awhile (no more bloody pee, no more straining, no more crystals
), and he's on a mostly wet diet now (no more Rx diet
).
There have been a lot of posts about using different "extras" to help keep a cat's urine pH low/acidic to prevent struvite stone formation. The question, how much (intervention) is too much? (i.e. wouldn't want to go too acidic and have oxalate stone issues??!)
How do people use these supplements? In a rotation?
1. Carpon (vaccinium macrocarpon extract -- cranberry extract, I think)
2. Methionine (e.g. Methigel)
3. Other cranberry sources (e.g. Solid Gold Berry Balance, cranberries in food, etc.)
4. Cosequin ("for bladder health")
P.S. Here are links to the items if anyone isn't familia w/ the itemsr:
