Thank you. Well, turns out it will be closer to $3000. 😩 Going to have it done next week..just hoping all goes well and the stones don’t come back!

Can anyone help me feel better about going about this surgery for my cat…any personal experiences you’d like to share, good or bad? I know it’s the best thing to do as she isn’t showing fast enough improvement in regards to dissolving the large stone she currently has. My cat has a scheduled...

I called my vet and turns out they don’t carry the S/D line, but said they will order it in for me. Called me back a few days later only to say that the S/D line has been discontinued. I am in Canada so I’m assuming it’s only being discontinued here? I am extremely disappointed. I was holding...

Thank you those links are very informative! 💜 And proved my point I was stating previously, that prescription food is crap and that she should be eating wet food only. This is the Royal Canin s/o dry food she was on first: Feline Urinary SO® | Royal Canin US This is Hills c/d dry food she is...

She originally was on Royal Canin urinary s/o, which didn’t help anything. Now she is on Hills urinary care c/d. I was told both of these dissolve stones by my vet?

Makes sense. But no, she’s always ate more dry food than wet and never had issues with pooping until she was on the antibiotic while she didn’t have any infection. She eats a lot more wet food now than she ever did. She seems to be doing a lot better lately, mood wise, which is good. She may...

Thanks for that! Well it seems the antibiotics have made her constipated, if anything. She poops dry, very very tiny amounts. She hasn’t had a normal sized poop since before the antibiotics and that was many months ago. Is the D-Mannose powder for UTI conditions only? Or would it help dissolve...

I understand that, but isn’t it counter productive to give her only dry food? Prescription or not. She should be on wet food only as she needs moisture in her diet to get her peeing and dissolving the stone. I really don’t like giving her strictly the dry prescription food, especially when she...

Also want to add I wasn’t giving her straight ACV.. it was 1/4 tsp ACV mixed with 1 tsp water in a syringe by mouth. From my research online, I have noted ACV, CBD oil, D-Mannose and cranberry pills can help with urinary stones/issues. Anything else to add? I am always interested in natural...

Thanks for your reply. That’s funny, my baby’s name is Phoebe as well. Well the stone was quite large on the first x-ray. It has gotten smaller but I think it’s still quite big? I have attached a photo. I really want to avoid physically altering surgery at all costs. But I understand I...

Thank you! She’s had two x-rays so far. She has been on two different vet prescribed brands dry food and neither seemed to help at all. It has gotten a bit smaller on the second x-ray. The vet thinks maybe the outer part of the stone is struvite and possibly inside is calcium oxalate.

Desperately looking for recommendations for a good wet and dry food for my 7 year old cat. She has had a bladder stone (struvite) for many months, and now because she’s had it so long, has also developed kidney stones as well. She unfortunately prefers dry food over wet so I’m assuming this is...
