[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Methigel and bladder stones

[Ann Evans]

Dear Penny,
Yes I do have Methigel and used it for 4 weeks on Kinjaroo after her 
first stone surgery. She received 0.2ml daily for 1 months and was 
scheduled to continue on it twice weekly for 5 months. Cavies have 
problems coping with acid load from Methigel. In Kinjaroo's case she 
began to loose weight and was not as active. So I stopped using the 
Methigel and gave her hydrangea root extract and 50 mg of vitamin C 
every day. Her first stone was huge. The second stones were an 
accumulation of what appeared to be calcium carbonate crystals. So I do 
think the Methigel was helpful. All drugs have side effects and in 
Kinjaroo's case I felt the side effects were hurting her. I am waiting 
for her sutures to dissolve before I start giving her the Rowatinex 
which was developed and clinically tested to treat kidney stones. 
Vedra's research has shown that the Rowatinex and the 20 minutes on the 
Niagara cyclo massage prevents stones from forming. I also have changed 
all of my piggys over to low calcium spring water.  I will keep you 
posted on how she does. Thanks for talking to your rodentologists about 
Kinjaroo's case.

Cheers,
