Jack Russell has this again, had it twice now. Been to vets , not got kidney stones.no lumps found.on antibiotics. Any natural way of getting rid instead of vets charging big costs. Any help would be great.

diet can help, has the vet carried out a strip test to determine the Ph of the urine, crystals can form causing recurrent infections

potassium might not help in this case, the source of the recurring infection needs to be identified

quick google says this a possible cause of infections

 

Blood present in urine – usually is cystitis.

Proteins usually associated with kidney malfunction

Glucose – can be caused by diabetes mellitus, cushings disease, liver malfunction or thyroidism.

Ketones – liver damage or diabetes mellitus.

Bilirubinuria – intestinal problems.

Urobilinogen – intestinal bacterial breakdown, bile duct obstruction

Means of investigating problems further – urine samples can be observed under a microscope for crystals or cultured to see which type of bacteria is present.
