[Gpdd] Health; Fugly has Kidney Stones

[warmbreath at comcast.net]

I did find your message. Ann's article discuses how to get out stones that 
were thought to be inoperable, and very easily. Pls look at it or I will 
send it if you cant access it. In the meantime just make sure he is 
urinating maybe by keeping him on towels so you know the bladder isn't 
blocked up.  Good luck with every piece of my heart  Sandy and Sammy

Hi all, some of you will know I have been concerned about Fugly as for the 
last 8 months he has been losing weight and looking miserable then we will 
give him a painkiller, metatone, acidophilus etc and he will perk up gain 
the weight again and be fine for a few months.



In this time he has been to my usual vet 3 times only to be told on each 
occassion that they cant find anything wrong.



Well this time he started losing weight again and nothing we had done before 
worked, I searched around and found a vet about 40 minutes away who trained 
with Peter Gurney.



Fugly stayed the night at the new vet on Tuesday so that on Wednesday they 
could run a whole load of tests including x-rays.



The news is not good, he has kidney stones, at the moment he has 2 stones 
stuck in the urethas between the kidney and bladder one each side also the 
x-ray looks like there are 2 more stones forming again one in each kidney. 
Where the stones are at the moment they are inoperable.



The blood tests showed that he also has liver and kidney damage.



He is home with us now but we dont know how long we have left. We are giving 
him 0.9ml Septrim twice a day for 2 weeks and also fibreplex pre/probiotic 
to help his tummy. We are getting some herbal remedies to see if they can 
help break the stones down they are Hydrangea Root Tincture and Chanca Plus 
Powder from Galens Garden.



We have a diet list but based on that we have been giving him the right diet 
and he has developed the stones anyway.



Needless to say I am devestated at the moment but if anyone has any other 
suggestions we could try please let me know and please keep fingers and paws 
crossed for my little boy.



At the moment his weight is down to 925g and he looks so skinny it breaks my 
heart.



Sorry for rambling



M
