Low calcium puppy food and dog food

Hello,

I just spoke with the vet....

So it turns out Cookie doesn't have a UTI but she has some calicum crystals in her system which can lead to stones.

We're going to take her to get xrays on Wednesday to determine if she has stones or not. eek!

Anyway, the vet said most likely we'll have to change her diet to something with lower calcium. We picked up the u/d prescription diet that has .04% calicium. She will be on this diet for the next month.

Her old puppy food has 1.05%-1.25% min/max calcium. Does anyone have suggestions on puppy food and later adult food with lower calcium content?

Also, if she starts eating food with lower calcium, how will it affect her bone growth/stregth? She's a 5lb, 4.5month old boston/rat terrier mix. Thanks!
