Question
Hello, I have a Yorkie who is almost 17 years old and was diagnosed with two kidney stones. Is this supplement safe to give to her? Uro Solution (Canine.) The ingredients are
* Desmedium
* Eclipta
* Smilax
Thank you. She does not do well with surgery anymore, she had surgery approximately two years ago to remove two painful growths and we almost lost her.
Hi Callista
Surgery is probably the last thing you would want for an elderly dog. Yes Uro Solution - Canine - looks fine. There is also another product that works brilliantly on kidney/bladder stones. It is made by Robert McDowell - www.herbal-treatments.com
If you click on to the "herbs for Dogs" page, and scroll down. He has two that I would recommend in this case:
Bladder Stone mix which helps dissolve all manner of stones, and, Kidney Weakness blend which would be beneficial in keeping the kidneys in good working order, especially as a dog ages.
Let me know how you go and I hope the outcome is positive for your girl.
All the best,
Silva
