The DL-Methionine that my boys get is just another ingredient in their food... I'm not supplementing with a separate tablet or anything. I do tend to look for that ingredient when I'm researching new foods for the boys because I know that's one of the ingredients in the Rx foods for cats who do get struvite crystals. (Don't worry, I have discussed this with my vet.Originally Posted by Plebayo
Yeah I think you have to be careful making it too acidic. I was going to put him on DL-Methionine but the stuff I was given was chewable at the time. Thanks for bringing that up actually, I might look into that as well because I know that that is proven to work for sure.
Nekochan, that's how I understand it. If the urine gets too acidic, then the oxalate crystals and stones can form. That's why before I put Pollux on any supplements, I'd want to talk to his vet. She'd probably want to get a urine sample to see how he's doing before we added anything to his diet to change his pH levels.Originally Posted by Nekochan
If you're trying to make the urine acidic, if you make it too acidic couldn't they get Calcium Oxalate crystals?
