<div>This is all new to me, all I know is what I've read here</div> <div>and on the main digest. But that was enough for me</div> <div>to recognize the likely symptoms when our young</div> <div>Champ started whimpering when he'd need to pee.</div> <div>An xray revealed a single stone about 1 cm. Not</div> <div>wanting to put him through surgery, especially with</div> <div>the likelihood another one would follow, we tried</div> <div>a round of Baytril. After being on that for close to</div> <div>six weeks, another xray showed that the stone</div> <div>now is much smoother, but no smaller. We have</div> <div>discontinued the Baytril for now, and have been</div> <div>advised that use of Shilintong wouldn't be likely</div> <div>to help in his case, being a male. I have tried</div> <div>the barley water in the past, and given him a</div> <div>bit of cranberry juice (well, cranapple). </div> <div>What is really likely to help a boy like him? His</div>
<div>symptoms are much better now, but the xray</div> <div>shows the stone is still present. Would a more</div> <div>rigid routine of the cranberry juice and maybe</div> <div>barley water help? Should we try the Shilintong?</div> <div>Would Leah's famous 'Power Hour' help him</div> <div>any? (giving him lots of extra water) He is</div> <div>already resisting syringe feedings. </div> <div>Is it possible to tell what kind of stone it is from</div> <div>a urine sample? Someone had suggested that</div> <div>sometimes a stone can be dissolved with a medication</div> <div>given to cats for stones, but our vet said that cats have</div> <div>different kinds of stones. -zatso?</div> <div>Susi & Champ</div> <div>-with our support group, the 'OP Network"</div><p>
