The herb that stone piggies have been taking is called Shilintong. It's
available on the Internet, and probably at some health food stores or
specialized groceries. Dosage is 1-2 crushed tablets mixed with just enough
water to make a thick sludge. Then it's fed with a syringe - the pig will
protest at first, but eventually they seem to almost like it!

When Niles did his course, he had one tablet daily for about six wheeks. Others
have done two tablets and I'm not sure how long other pigs have been on it.
Both Niles and another piggie successfully passed their stones with the herb's
help. (However, you should still consult your vet during the course.)
