[Stones] My best hint

[ABSiev at aol.com]

The one intervention that has proved almost miraculous for my stones piggie 
has been changing his water.  I have always given my pigs tap water filtered 
through a Brita pitcher.  The Brita does not remove flouride and it never 
occurred to me that might be a problem.  My Skippy progressed from needing a bladder 
flush for sludge to forming enormous stones one right after the other.  I 
tried many things (dietary restrictions, various medications) but the one thing 
that seems to have really helped has been switching to bottled water.  I use 
Penta water, which is insanely expensive; it's possible that any flouride-free 
bottled water would do the trick, but I am not about to rock the boat.  Since 
changing his water, his bladder has remained clear (last stone surgery over 7 
months ago).  In short:  DO NOT GIVE YOUR PIGGIES FLUORIDATED WATER!
