[Stones] Health: Brownie Bear's Stone

[JoAnn Thompson]

Leah, I am so sad to hear about BB's stones - danggit!  I am by no means an expert, but what I've learned along the way of this challenging path called "Bladder Stones" is . . .
--  Trimethoprim Sulfa is generally preferred over Baytril for UTI.
--  Are you giving BB Shilintong?  I had success with Shilintong for Rugi.  However, I usually didn't give while she was on AB.
--  Talk to your doctor about Polycitra.  Now, Rugi was diagnosed with a kidney stone so I don't know if that's the difference.  However, I had Rugi on Poly-C and her stone eventually "dissolved."
--  Talk to your vet about Vit C and stones.  My vet researched and recommended that we cut down for Rugi while she had the stone -- again, could be difference between kidney vs. bladder?
 
Sorry that I can't just make the stone disappear :-(  
 
I hope your precious Brownie Bear is feeling better VERY SOON.
 
JoAnn and Princess Sierra
