Prior to this he did pee pretty often, which shouldn't lead to bladder stones.

I thought the other things also need to be reduced? Like phosphorus, sodium and maybe even potassium.

As of now his pee doesn't have blood, but it is fairly clear, sometimes nearly clear and sometimes a tint of yellow, as for his appetite, we've been giving him the hamster soup recipe on this forum, it had couscous, pearl barley and minced broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, veggies vary, he seems to be somewhat okay with that, but we can't give him that entirely or too often.

His hamster food mentions 11.0% crude protein and about 0.8 phosphorus, says to feed them 12g a day, not sure if that includes the stuff mentioned above, but as is he doesn't really finish all his food because he's quite picky on em.

Prior to this, we used to give him a decent amount of veggies and fruits.

Veggies we give him (about 2-5 pieces a day, no bigger than half a pinky in length, usually in rotation):
Baby corn
Bean sprout
Broccoli
Carrot
Cauliflower
Corn
Cucumber
Pak choy
Sweet pea

Fruits we give him (also about same as veggie size, once every 3 days, sometimes a little extra but too often):
Apple
Banana
Jack fruit
Mango
Papaya
Pear

And he also got hamster treats pretty often, but since then we've stopped all those minus the bits of veggies in his hamster soup because we're unsure if it'd do him any more harm.

We also used to give him a drop of animal vitamin everyday and a small strip of tube probiotics for animals, haven't continued since the week ago with blood in his pee, also gave him a small bit of boiled chicken every 3 days for the past few months, we thought he might've been protein deficient because prior to this he has some fur loss, especially at his lower back.

I've read somewhere celery is good for kidney disease, and he seems to like it, but didn't give him too much cause can't find any other sources clarifying the info.

Would like if possible to find out if the other stuff we give him is safe for kidney disease, couldn't find much consistent info regarding em.
