Today, Iâd like to discuss struvite stones and crystals. Struvite stones are a type of bladder stone that occurs in both dogs and cats. Theyâre also called triple phosphate and magnesium ammonium phosphate stones. Magnesium, ammonia, and phosphate are common elements in urine.
Myth 2: Struvite crystals and stones form when the urine pH is alkaline. Keeping the urine acidified will prevent struvite in dogs and cats. On the other hand, calcium oxalate forms when the urine pH is acidic. Keeping the urine alkaline (pH >7) will prevent calcium oxalate in dogs and cats. Myth 3: Cats with blood in their urine should be placed on antibiotics for 7-14 days. Myth 4: Ash in pet food is one of the causes of feline lower urinary tract disease. Ash can cause a male cat to suffer a blockage in the urinary system.
