[Dailydrool] Bladder Stones & C/D Formula

[Elsamarie5 at cs.com]

Monique, 
I have used the Hill's Science Diet C/D formula for Elsa, my 8 yo Dachshund 
Diva because of bladder stones. At first, she had to use the S/D formula to get 
rid of a bladder FULL of stones, then she switched to C/D for maintenance and 
she's had no more problems for almost 2 years. I can't give her any treats or 
other foods, it changes the urine ph, but she does very well on it. She has 
no allergies, has kabootles of energy and best of all, No More Stones :)
There was a ghastly procedure that my vet tried to flush the stones out of 
her bladder but it didn't do the job and was very stressful for both of us.
If any other Droolers have good experience with alternate diets, I'd be glad 
to hear about them also. Hope you get good results and no more stones, they 
are very painful and keep infection going until they are gone. The C/D formula 
is pricey but not as much as urine tests and meds, etc.

Judy & Archie (my Basset Boy) in Fresno, (Elsa says she's glad to hear Doxies 
aren't the only ones that have this problem !! )
