My dog recently had bladder stones and surgery for it. She seemed to be doing fine, but now she is having problems again. What do you suggest?

Full Question:
Cindy,



I have been purchasing your veggie mix ? Honest Kitchen and it is wonderful.



However, I have a coonhound female dog who developed bladder stones and had to have emergency surgery to remove them last week.



I think maybe she got them from the lamb and beef lung treats from CO that I was giving her. She devoured them instead of chewing them.



Anyway, I feed her mainly the raw extra lean hamburger beef or turkey or chicken and your preference mix along with my other 3 dogs.



Annie the coonhound had surgery last week and the vet gave her the Hills Prescription Diet U/D and I did not want to give it to her since the ingredients are horrible. Anyway, she will not eat it anyway after the raw food that I give her.



Now I am giving her the lean meat, the preference, the organic cranberry juice, the organic apple cider vinegar, little honey, cottage cheese, B-Complex, probiotic capsule and she seemed to be doing very well.



Well this morning, I noticed that she is walking around trying to urinate and she is not going too well.



I need help and your suggestions. Donna at your office suggested that I email you and that you might be able to help me help her.



Thanks so much.

Hi Sandra,



I am afraid with something medical and potentially life threatening like bladder stones I would not be sure exactly what to tell you. What I would do if this was my dog is consult with a holistic vet or homeopath. I don’t have any personal experience in feeding a dog with urinary issues.



Here is a list of vets we have compiled to date, with the help of our customers. If you do not find a vet close by on our list, I would suggest doing a google search on holistic or homeopathic vets in your area.



I’m sorry I am not more help, but in a case like this the wrong advice could hurt your dog and I think it’s best handled by a health care professional.
