[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Cymalon for Cystitis

[Ann Evans]

Dear Warmbreath and the GPDD Family,
Both Vedra and Peter Gurney have been using these products for many 
years.  Peter used the contents of the sachet at a much stronger 
concentration than Vedra does and apparently did not have any problems. 
In my BAR treatment guide for cystitis Vedra suggests that one sachet 
should be used with 2 cups of water along with the Pediatric Bactrim and 
Rimadyl.

As far as potassium in the form of bananas is good for piggys who have 
had diarrhea. That is why we give pedialyte for the same reason because 
it contains potassium. I do not know anything about the use of magnesium 
supplements.

Sodium gets a bad rap because people eat a lot of processed food that 
contains salt = sodium chloride. Sodium is essential in the operation of 
the nervous system along with many other biological properties. The 
sodium or potassium citrate in Cymalon is being expelled by the kidneys 
and buffering the pH of the urine in order to produce an anti 
inflammatory effect in the bladder and urinary tract. Used as specified 
I do not see that it would cause a cavy any problem.
