[Stones] Pansy's recurring infection

[FKRossi at aol.com]

Hi,
 
My Pansy (age 4 1/2) had a giant bladder stone removed from her  urethra back 
in September.  It was the size of a coffee bean!  My poor  little 
piggen.........  Previous to that, the SMELL of her urine would just  knock you back.  I 
change the cage every other day, or daily if it needs it  anyway, thank 
heavens.  After getting the stone out, she did much much  better, the smell went 
away, and for a few weeks, she was just another  pig.   She still has some pretty 
big tumors, that we suspect are  ovarian, that didn't respond to the hormone 
injections.
 
Now, her infection is back, and in spite of the Bactrim, doesn't seem to be  
going away.  For a week or so she will be fine, then BANG.  Also, she  has 
passed these gobs of bloody mucous.  Whether they are uterine or  intestinal, 
we're not sure.......she has always had a moooshy poop  problem.  
 
Do you have any ideas for how to combat this infection?  We have a  good 
health food store in town, so I should be able to get her any kind of  herbal 
remedy.  
 
Francine
