| Uh Oh. I am afraid I might have spoken too soon. I think I might have seen a drop of blood this morning. Not sure though, by the time I ran inside to get a papertowel to dab it up, it had already dissolved into the concrete. I was looking on the Natural Balance Vegetarian bag and it has the same amount of Protein as the Duck and Potato formula that my maltese eats, but it is obviously protein from vegetables. So my question is, are struvite stones caused by animal or ANY protein??? Is there maybe too much proteing in the NB Vegetarian even though it is vegetable??? i am so confused and nervous. TIA! |

| So Bitsy went back to the vet to have some xrays. There is atleast one large stone that must be removed. We do not know what kind of stone it could be since her urine PH is 6.5 and there are no crystals. Her surgery is April 7th and can't come soon enough. In the last 2 days she has been peeing small amounts all over the house every 5 minutes!!! She is on more zeniquin until then. It seems to have gotten bad really fast over the past few days, although she is acting normal. Please send prayers for my girl!! Thanks |

| Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get her there sooner financially. She was being treated what we thought was UTI. She didn't show any signs of a stone, nor did her urine test. So I didn't feel there was any rush until I see more blood this week. I am wondering if a UTI could have caused a stone? Now she is straining and showing the signs of a stone. I feel really bad that I didn't rush to get the xray. But atleast now we know. I just wish she could have her surgery sooner.....thanks for the prayers. |

| I have just received a new credit card with 0% until October!!! so the surgery is covered. My wonderful new vet doesn't overcharge either, so the surgery is costing less than I anticipated. Has anyone ever used Solid Gold Berry Balance. I have read good reviews and have started giving it to Bitsy. It is good for struvite stones. But I am wondering if it would hurt her if the stones are the other kind? Any thoughts?? TIA |

| I'm surprised that your vet is waiting until April 7 to do the surgery. When it was found that Chipper had bladder stones he was operated on immediately.
