A Ritzy Update

Ritzy has been on potassium citrate for almost two weeks now. He is such a good boy, he takes it like a treat because he is sick of me "pilling" it down his throat. My poor boy! He is done with his medication for the bladder infection. I am dropping off a urine sample this week to find out the status of everything. I have a feeling the crystals won't be gone. I don't hold a lot of faith in Hill's u/d even with the addition of the potassium citrate.

I have worked with the absolutely lovely people on the K9KidneyDiets group and with them, I have created a diet for Ritzy that consists of (right now) chicken, broccoli and organic white rice. I also have 2 of the 5 supplements for his diet as well. Lysimacia-3 and Calcium Citrate. I plan on implementing this diet on Tuesday. I want to bring in Ritzy's urine sample before the "Fuzzer" diet to see how things are going so we can compare it to how the Fuzzer diet affects his urine.

I will be posting updates soon. I hold out a lot of hope for Fuzzer.
