I heard back from Oxbow on the treats:
"Our Simple Rewards Veggie Treats contain approximately 0.7% calcium. It is important to note that these numbers are an average due to the natural fluctuations with the ingredients we use."
Their pellets say "Calcium (min) 0.35% - Calcium (max) 0.75%" so maybe the treats are slightly higher. I've stopped feeding them at any rate just to be sure. No mutiny so far.
Still seeing blood in Charlotte's urine. So frustrating. I see vet next week for 2 week post-op check.

Now Charlotte has a lump in her throat. I took her to the vet. He thinks it is CL or an abscess and wants to do surgery. I did read over the lump information in the Medical Guide. It does look like surgery is the way to go. Do you guys concur? The surgery estimate was $755.00. Do I need the culture/sensitivity ($78) and the histopath ($315)? This would be her third surgery since December as she had a spay after the stone removal due to continued blood in her urine.
