1) let the doctor know
2) it’s often just fluid (but see #1); elevate them with a rolled up washcloth, that helps the area drain

My father has bladder cancer. He will need radical surgery. where is the best cancer treatment facility in the U.S? Are there any in the Midwest? We are in the St. Louis area.

Ohio State University has a cancer treatment center in Columbus, Ohio called The Arthur James Cancer Treatment Center.

You could also try Cancer Treatment Centers of America, which uses conventional treatments with alternative treatments.

I am sure there must be good treatment centers in your area also. I am just not from around there.

Just pray for him. If he is a smoker, it might be a good idea to consider quitting. It is linked to bladder cancers and pancreas cancers.

hi im a 12 year old boy
i went to the doctor with my mom when she had to get her blood tested because we’re just about positive i have a bladder infection. All of my symptoms match up with the bladder infection symptoms. I did a urine test, they called my mom and they were telling her her blood test results and they just mentioned i had white blood cells in my pee. So they didn’t elaborate on it and didn’t seem to make a big deal. Anyway My kidneys dont hurt and there is no blood in my urine.

So Do you think i should treat this naturally?
My mom said she would buy me some cranberry juice and i should drink alot of water.
Could my bladder infection get WORSE if i just keep doing this? Because my concern is i just dont want it to be serious.
And am i supposed to dilute the cranberry juice? becaues i’ve heard i should

Anyway alls i want to know if it could get worse during the time im flushing myself out or it would just stay the same or get better.
Also if i should dilute the cranberry juice.
Thanks!

Did the doctor not prescribe antibiotics?

Straight cranberry juice plus a lot of water can help get rid of a bladder infection. When I say cranberry juice I don’t mean cranberry juice cocktail like Ocean Spray, but something that only contains cranberry juice. Be sure to read the ingredient list. You can water it down if it tastes better to you that way, but I personally prefer just drinking a small glass (about 4 ounces) quickly and then drinking some water afterwards. Diluting it, to me, just prolongs the amount of time to taste it.

If you drink the cranberry juice a few times a day plus lots of water, the infection should get better. If it doesn’t you’ll need antibiotics. I personally have never had one I couldn’t treat with the juice and water routine.

Heres an example of one of the brands with pure cranberry juice

I wouldn’t buy it through Amazon though because the listings through them are only for a case– just check the grocery store and if they don’t have it try a health food store.

One of my coldwater fish has developed swim bladder.I recently got him/her some swim bladder treatment. The only problem is, I have to work out the volume, and then I have my answer as to how much of the medicine I pour into the cap. Basically, I must work out the volume to find out how many millilitres of this medicine I must put in over the next two days. So say I somehow got the answer that I had to put in 400ml of it, then I must put in 200ml over two days, as it is a daily dose for the next two days. Unfortunately, I am no good at working out the volume, so I am going to take a chance to see if I can have it answered here. In case this may help you (if you have had this treatment before and know what to do) I am using Interpet’s Swim Bladder Treatment. Here is the dimensions of my tank (rather small, at least for now it is. Will soon get a bigger one):
Width: 20cm
Height: 22cm
Length: 35cm
(The height measurements are from the bottom of the tank, up to the water level).

I really hope someone can help me, thank you! Most points for Best Answer!
Thanks Simi K… But how many millilitres of the medicine does that mean I should add to the tank? Thanks again
Nevermind, I’ve got the answer! Thank you!

length x width x depth (in feet) x 7.3 = gallons of water. (7.3 gallons in a cubic foot.)

20 cm = .6562 ft
22 cm = .7218 ft
35 cm = 1.148 ft

so .6562 x .7218 x 1.148 = .5438 cu ft x 7.3 = 3.969 gallons or 15.024 liters

you can probably round to 4 gallons or 15 liters for any sort of medication treatment.

I think my cat may have a bladder infection and I want to take her to a vet. but I want to know how much would this cost me?

Depends. Usually you will have to pay for the checkup, which at my vet, is about $75. Then the treatment will cost you probably just as much. My cat had one when he was younger, and i wound up spending around $200. Just depends on where you take the animal for treatment.

Hope this helps!

At your doctor’s office.

Why do I need to have a comfortably full bladder when I receive a radiation treatment?

Actually filling your bladder full of air would be a VERY bad idea. You don’t want to create a tissue/air interface like that in an area that’s being treated by radiation. You wouldn’t get good coverage which is what you want.

To answer your question. I’m assuming this is for prostate cancer. The prostate (or if it’s not that, other parts in that area) will move around some during treatment. For prostate cancer, the radiation is very localized on the cacerous tissue. You want it to be in the same place every day. Because there isn’t much of an indicator besides your initial CT, and you don’t get a CT every day (it doesn’t show up in the films they take) they have to try to have the conditions as close to the original conditions as possible.

Another consideration is surface area. If your bladder is full, less of the surface area of the bladder will be hit by the radiation during treatment – which will mean less complications for you down the road. Less of the bladder will be getting the full dose. I hope that helps, if you need further clarification you can email me or ask your doctor. I’m sure he/she would be happy to answer Or you can ask a therapist.

Also – your urologist will not be able to answer these questions. This is a question for your radiation oncologist.

cystoscopy, as in people?
Well, sinic, that is one treatment! =)

If he’s blocked up, this is serious – obviously. If the stones are small (only gravel) you may get away with having him back-flushed, but if they are big, and have really blocked him (and with males this is more likely to happen as the penis has a bone in it – bitches will quite often flush out) they will have to open him up and clean him out, poor boy. There are two sorts of stones, and some will dissolve with the correct diet, again, if you/he are lucky.

I’ve had two cases in my hounds, both survived okay, with the correct diet after surgery. Apart from bloat (gastric torsion) this is one of the two conditions that cannot wait.

ps I have a small bottle, still, with stones from my first case – he’s long gone (born 1973) but his stones remain.

My Sheltie was taken to the vet today after urinating several times on our belongings and bedding. I did witness blood in her urine and took her ASAP this morning.

Indeed, she has 3 to four bladder stones and a urinary infection. She was given an antibiotic to clear up the infection and "Hill’s PRESCRIPTION DIET s/d" to be eaten everyday for 2 to 5 months in hope of dissolving the stones.

The other option was surgery-$1,500. She’s 3 years old and the vet explained that this food can cause the stones to disolve to nothing or even be urinated out when small enough.

Has anyone had experience treating dog bladder stones or with this food? Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Hill’s diets are good ones. They are unfortunately expensive. Often the diets for stones work in two ways-1) they change the pH of the urine depending on the stone type. This will help prevent stones (and I guess dissolve them too) in that some stones form at certain pHs. And 2) they often contain large amounts of salt which makes the dog drink more, making them urinate more. Urinating more often prevents urine from sitting around in the bladder letting the minerals that make up stones settle out.
Antibiotics are often called for because bladder stones predispose to infections and often it goes the other way around too.
Surgery often seems drastic and expensive. The price seems reasonable to me if it includes after care and medication for pain. Keeping your pet on a diet to prevent stones may be needed afterwards as well.
You should also keep in mind that the diet may be a lifelong thing though I think I would be willing to try it before surgery and use surgery as a second option. Esp. since your vet seems to think that the diet changes will work.
Good luck!
