Avatar f tn s been quite a while since the last round of x-rays, you might ask for another one to see if your girl has developed bladder or kidney stones. They may have been present previously but not large enough to see. Since UTIs have been a life-long problem for her, I think it's worthwhile to do some more in-depth testing to figure out why it keeps coming back. Have you paid much attention to how much water your dog drinks?
1916673 tn?1420233270 s difficult to know what might have come first, the deterioration of kidney function or the kidney stones, which may have lead to the loss of kidney function. Of course, not all dogs have kidney stones, even those with kidney failure, so it's certainly not a straightforward debate. You may be right about green tripe and acidic stones though ...
Avatar n tn ve had more than I can count. I use to go to the ED. Now I know the spasmodic pain of kidney stones and treat it myself in most instances. I encourage you to consult your PMP and get a true DX (diagnosis). Just because I think you may have kidney stones doesn't mean that is what you are experiencing. Pain is our body's way of telling us something is wrong. Listen to it and get a DX. Please let us know how you are doing - but please do begin a new thread. Just click on Post a Question.
82861 tn?1333453911 If there is no infection than your dog has kidney damage or kidney failure, and you will have to treat agressively to save the kidneys by using Sub Q fluid therapy, phosphate binders if the phosphate is also elevated, kidney saving herbs such as Rehmannia 8 and more. Please write back once you have additional test results. Thanks.
Avatar f tn * Cystine stones. Cystine stones can be difficult to treat. Your doctor may prescribe certain medications to alkalinize the urine or to bind the cystine in the urine in addition to recommending an extremely high urine output.
Avatar m tn tt had any pain like that since, however, I am urinating blood about once a week and have pain in my right side groin area often after work late in the evening. Is this due to kidney stones? and will having sex irrate the kidney stones and cause the blood and small blood clots in my urine and pain in my groin.
Avatar m tn It states that it can dissolve stones in 3-6 months. There are testimonials from people who had their dogs checked/xrayed after they were diagnosed with stones and given the herbal medicine for 3 months or so. Anyone know about this or is it a scam?
Avatar m tn Hello & welcome.....First, She needs to be checked for a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)......These are very common and need to be treated with oral antibiotics before they end up as Bladder or Kidney Infections.......While there, I'd inquire about the possibility of Kidney/Bladder Stones.....They also will produce blood in the urine.......Good luck & let us know what you find out.......Karla P.S. Thank you for adopting.......
Avatar f tn Welcome.....Any blood from any area is NOT normal (Unless it's a heat cycle in a female).....So, yes there is cause for concern......Panting hard is usually associated w/pain! My first thought is your guy has a UTI and needs to be treated....Left unattended, these infections can migrate to the Bladder & Kidneys which are harder to treat....Oral antibiotics will be given & a recheck of urine in a couple of weeks to make sure the infection is cleared......

482754 tn?1341791494 Start off with a little bit of it in the water until the get use to it slowly add more or u can just try to give by syringe in the mouth. It breaks up stones. U can take it to if u were to get stones. My baby hardly has seizures and no more bladder stones!!! Hope this help it's very scary to go through and I hope your baby does better!!
Avatar m tn m figuring that kidney stones take a while to form and that, if I have kidney stones and possibly an infection, it's likely that I had the kidney stones first and they contributed to the infection, rather that having an infection first that contributed to the kidney stones (sorry if this sounds confusing).
463595 tn?1333997222 I had numerous kidney stones and one that was too big to pass. I ended up having to have a stent put in (while pregnant). I was in horrible pain for the remaining 11 weeks of pregnancy. Drinking lots of water is supposed to help. I am pregnant again now and pray I do not get any this time. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I was born with a condition that causes my body to create kidney stones. I have been to the emergency room 4 or 5 times in the past 18 years for the large stones, small ones pass ok. My first stone caused bleeding and severe back pain also with pain in the lower abdomen area along with hot/cold flashes and vomiting. It may feel like someone is squeezing your kidney while at the same time stabbing it with an ice pick. I first though it was my appendix. I was wrong. Water, water, water.

Avatar n tn Urinary tract infection, kidney stones or bladder stones. Definitely need to get your pup to a vet. These are all very painful conditions that require medical care. There is nothing you can do at home to help it.
Avatar f tn It would be a good idea to take him to the vet to be evaluated because if he has more stones in his stomach they can cause a serious problem. I have known dogs who have eaten stones who have needed surgery to remove them. Please don't wait, this could get dangerous depending on what kind of stones, how big and how many of them he has in there. Please keep us updated on his progress.

Avatar f tn Anyone suffer from kidney or gull stones in 3rd trimester what did u do to treat how bad was it did u still work?
Avatar m tn hi. i had kidney stones throughout the week and went in and out of hospital until they confirmed i had two stones at the last junction of my tube and 1 still in my kidney. they discharged me on the saturday and the pain had gone alot. i was only experiencing little sharp pains and what feels like lower back pain. when urinating, it sometimes felt burny and uncomfortable. but nothing overly sore. i took the tablets to relax the tube on the saturday and the sunday and never again after.
Avatar f tn Also, do not take calcium carbonate mineral pills since it could contribute to kidney stones because kidney stones are actually pellets of calcium carbonate !! Only drink water which already has dissolved calcium carbonate in it.
Avatar n tn If your husband has persistent proteinuria additional tests must be done to evaluate his kidney function. In addition to blood glucose and blood pressure control, the National Kidney Foundation recommends restricting dietary salt and protein. The extent of the damage to the kidneys must first be evaluated by his doctors. An oral steroid may be prescribed for his proteinuria proteinuria.
