One thing that I have started for Miko is: half an organic celery stalk juiced or blended, whatever you can do. It has really helped him pass the stones that he already had in his bladder, and it's very good for urinary tract health no matter what kind of stones/crystals the dog might have. If he doesn't like the juiced celery taste, add a little lowfat organic yogurt to it. Whatever flavor you want. We use Stonyfield organic plain or vanilla. And add water to the celery to get him to drink more water.
We saw immediate results with it, and I know several people whose yorkies have/have had bladder stones that do this and have seen great improvement.
Also, make sure he's getting enough water. With stones/crystals, the urine should be diluted as much as possible, so if your baby eats dry food. Make sure you give equal parts water with equal parts food. You can put the water in the dry food, let it soak, and then serve. Also you can give him snacks like watermelon which have very high moisture content.
I'll be praying for little Mickey! Please keep us updated on his condition... |
