PH testing

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • So Buddy's urinalysis showed he is on the too acidic side contributing to the calcium oxalate crystals in his urine. I got these test strips to see if his diet change is making his urine more alkaline. They work pretty good and it only takes a minute to see the result. It comes with a color chart to compare the strip to. My last Basenjis had their urine too alkaline which resulted in bladder infections. I got this on Amazon.

  • it's amazing what you can get, how is his new diet working ,Dan ?

    It's getting a little more alkaline as I reduce the protein and continue to add water to his meals. I'm going to drop off a urine sample this weekend to see if there's crystals still in his urine.

  • Fingers crossed for Buddy :)

    The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....

    And remember everyone, they really do go bad, so please do not use them past the date….. if there are some of you that live close or even you could do it by mail, you might think about sharing the strips instead of just tossing them
