Hello! I recently had surgery to have ammonium urate stones removed. I am doing great, however I am very susceptible to recurrence. I am looking for suggestions for canned foods that will help me avoid this. Here is what my Dr. suggested: canned foods designed for cats w/ liver or renal failure w/ the following characteristics: Low in purine precursors (Purine precursors would turn into purines, causing the uric acid to be higher) promote less acidic urine (pH +7.0) and less concentrated urine. Does anyone have any suggestions? THANK YOU in advance for any help anyone can offer; feel free to pmail me as well. Love and kisses Oreo

    wish I could help...i haven't heard of this type of stone. For other stones and crystals increased water intake is usually recommended, sometimes a prescription food...or changing to a raw diet.

    Thank you Cody! I've heard the same; mom always mixes extra water into our food to help. Thank you for your suggestion!
