Potatoes makes urine alkaline ..so better to avoid incase of Strvite stones..Give foods which makes urine acidic.

No , do not attempt for dietary changes if prescription feed is given by a vet. If at all changes in diet would be recommended by your vet, raw food isn't the best option. Thoroughly boiled food always.

Just stick with her prescription diet, and also, if your veterinary doctor has prescribed any medication, then follow it.
Go for a follow-up to make sure the condition is managed properly or not.
