She was treated for a urinary tract infection yesterday. I know she was lethargic and drinking a lot of water, so we’ll have to wait and see if she has beginning stages of kidney disease. She’ll be fine, but I won’t. I am pooped. She was up 3 separate times meowing last night. I think she’s happy. Maybe she was in pain for a while and is now relieved the pain went away. Have you folks ever dealt with something like this? Normally she goes to sleep with me. It was weird.
She was at home and didn’t stay overnight at the vet. I was trying to sleep. The twit kept waking me up. When I tried to get her to stop, she seemed like she just wanted to play.
Yes, they did a ton of blood work. Three hundred bucks worth and now I have to put her on pricier food from them for cats with kidney issues. My other cat’s a mut and dang—she NEVER has any problems.

My dog’s vet is currently out of town and about a month ago he had bladder stone surgery. They changed his diet completely and now he is on specific food to keep his pH levels in his urine normal to prevent the stones from coming back. All of the sudden he starts urinating clear. He stopped eating store-bought treats and drinks a lot of water and eats peas for a treat. I talked to a different vet who I am not familiar with and she took his urine yesterday and said his urine is extrememly diluted which is bad. Then she kept going on and on that he could have kidney failure, a tumor, or some kind of hormone disease!!! I was like hold on a minute here!!! He just had a full blood work up done a month ago and all of his organs are working fine and he’s totally healthy besides the stones that were removed. I think she hasn’t had too much experience it seemed. So after looked in his chart and noticed this, she had a change of heart on all the tests she wanted to perform. I told her, listen, I am not a vet whatsoever, but don’t you think it’s kind of a coinsidence that my dog starts urinating clear after being on this new diet? I feel like he is not getting the other nutrients he needs. My dog used to eat meat everyday (Beneful Ready Meals) and now hes like on a canned diet and only drinks water and eats peas! So she looked at me and said I’m going to have to call an internist and see if this is normal from the food. Then she sent me home! How do you tell someone their dog could be diseased and then send them home!?! She was supposed to call me today and never did! So now I’m worried and concerned because I don’t know what to think or believe and my vet doesn’t get back until next week. I searched this clear urine problem online and I get mixed answers. I read it’s good because his body is flushed out and then I read it’s a sign of kidney problems because the kidneys are not flushing the urine out properly. So now what? I can’t sleep and this is my only hope to find an answer. My Aunt’s dog recently died from kidney failure and it was so tramatizing to me, so ….PLEASE HELP!

I am a 36 yo white female suffering from recurrent brushite stones for the past 5 years. I have done numerous 24 hour catches, full blood work-ups examining chemical makeups in my body. I drink tons of water with fresh, organic lemon and still produce the stones. I have just recently started a low oxalate diet regime as well. Does anyone out there produce this type of stone? If so, do you have any prevention tips?

My dog has a bladder stone, and I took her Monday to have surgery to have it removed. They did blood work, and found her kidneys were not functioning. Her original Bun was 41, and 4 days later it was 93. The vet said if they put her under she would not wake up. She said x-rays showed she had 1 kidney stone that was at the opening of the duct. Is there ANYTHING I can give her to dissolve a kidney stone?
