Herbal Dog Bladder Stone Treatment, does it work?
Hello–
My 3 year old Sheltie was just examined today and has 3 to 4 bladder stones. She was given an antibiotic and "Hill’s PRESCRIPTION DIET s/d" to delove the stones over time.
I’ve been doing some reasearch and have found some "herbal" treatments that claim to disolve the stones and are pills NOT food.
Do theses work?
Below are two exaples:

Thanks!
Sorry don’t know about these prepared treatments…prepared treatments often have very little of the herbal/homoeopathic ingredients required to do the job correctly
As for Hill’s PRESCRIPTION DIET s/d" that won’t help at all
These are some active natural ingredients that do work/have worked and you need a RAW diet, not one full of grains like Hill’s

You can contact a homoeopathic vet who will prescribe the correct treatment for your dog, many vets are now training in homoeopathy and acupressure etc and you can Google it and find one near you they will then use vet prescribed medicine for acute and homoeopathy for chronic illness, getting the best for your dog.

Some stones are large and will not dissolve. Many must be removed surgically.
You may find that your pet needs surgery to remove them.
Then after they are removed you will need to keep the pet on a prescription food.
Other manufactures than Hills make foods for this problem.
None are great but they work.
I have a cat who had stones removed 4 years ago and has been on a prescription diet ever since. She has not had any issues. But if you take her off the prescription food she has problems. She was eating a very high quality diet. Even on a raw diet for some time and had issues. So now all she gets is the prescription stuff. Not the best quality ingredients but she is healthy and had not had problems since the switch.

I have heard of a homeopathic remedy called Hydrangia Tincture that is supposed to work on all kinds of stones. I heard about this on the Yahoo homeopathic pet group, but have not had a need to use it.
