[Stones] Another update on Maya

[Jamie Hill]

Hi All!  
   
  Wanted to share the latest on my little Maya pig.  It's been about 6 weeks and it looks like
  she may have her stone and sludge issues under control.  We are continuing to give her
  unsweetened cranberry juice 3 x per day and shilintong 2 x per day.  She is also drinking
  alot more water (she was always a good drinker).  I think this stuff is really working.
   
  Over the past week, her appetite has fully returned and she has gained weight (whew!).  She
  was always a small piggy (0.7 kg), so this is very relieving! 
   
  However, we now have a new issue.  She has cystitis and urine scald.  She is still taking
  antibiotics and is also on metacam.  Her vulva is swollen, she has sores, and constantly
  licks her rear.  I soak her bottom and clean the affected area daily.  I'm also applying some
  calendula a few times per day.  This seems to give her some relief.  We also started giving
  her some liquid echinecea last night.
   
  Does anyone know what works best for cleaning the area.  I've been using some hibiclens in
  warm water for soaking.  Would a mild soap work better?
   
  Thanks everyone!
