[Stones] Spike is a New Stones Patient

[Jamie Hill]

Hi Patti,

I'm sorry to hear about Spike!  I also have a stone pig and her name is Maya.
We went through at least 4 months of serious, constant problems and 
sometimes we really didn't think she would make it.  But, Maya is such a fighter.
We have been successful in managing her stone/sludge issue for the past 3
months by keeping her on a regimen of unsweetened cranberry juice.  She was
on shillintong for quite some time as it was a tough road to get her to the
state she is currently at.  In my humble opinion, shillintong is a wonder drug.
However, I've stopped giving it for the meantime since the cranberry is working.

However, Maya still has her bad days and I'm assuming it has something to do
with her bladder issues.  She occasionally does not feel like eating.  When this
happens, she gets a little gassy because she slows down on hay consumption. 
My tried and true remedy is giving her some watered down infant gas x.  Then,
after a few hours, I will give her some probiotic.  Then after another couple hours, I
will give her a bit more gas x.  By the next day, she is back to her happy little pig
self.  This usually happens 1 or 2 x per month.  Everytime, I freak out because
I'm worried she is going to leave me, but she snaps right out of it. 

Anyways, hope this bit of insight helps you out.  Feel free to email me if you have
any other questions on what worked for my sweet little Maya.  Best of luck with
your little Spike!

Jamie &
Maya, Cookie, Conan, Gracie, Annie, Harry, and Lloyd
