Has anyone ever successfully tried using apple cider vinegar on a cat with renal stones? I know it can work in humans to help dissolve and soften the stones, but I have no idea if it would be safe or effective in cats. We have some Bragg's raw, organic ACV, but I want to be absolutely sure before we try it...

I have read a lot on apple cider vinegar on

I know the biggest caution on that site is to make sure it's diluted as it can harm a cat's esophagus.
I gave it to mine for a uti while we were waiting til my hubby got home to take her to the vet and put it in her wet food..she ate a lil but not much so I kept putting it on the scruff of her neck once and awhile til hubby got home... all of a sudden she did go pee and acted normal so we watched her for a couple days but she didnt have any more symptoms. I cannot say for positive it was the ACV thus I also wouldnt feel comfy recommending something to someone else but I know that site sure supports it.
