blaasgruis (Bladder Stones)

Mijn oes van 10 jaar heeft last van blaasgruis.
Hij krijgt duck therapie te eten en dat kan geen blaasgruis geven volgens deduckfirma.
Wat kunnen wij hem geven waardoor het gruis toch weg gaat?

Alvast bedankt emmaenjean

My OES has suffered for 10 years from bladder stones.

He gets to eat duck therapy and bladder stones can not give in deduckfirma.
[I think: "He is eating a duck-based food and duck can't give him bladder stones"]

What can we give him to help the stones go away?

Thanks emma jean
Ron are you going to translate back from English.

Do you know what is causing the stones?

I would suggest encouraging your dog to drink more as this will dilute the urine and concentrated urine forms stones more easily. Make sure that s/he is able to urinate frequently so that the urine doesn't stay in the bladder too long.

Ik stel voor bevordering van uw hond meer water te drinken. Dit zal verwateren de urine. Geconcentreerde urine vormen stenen gemakkelijker. Zorg ervoor dat hij plast vaak zo dat de urine niet blijft in de blaas te lang.
I hope this translates properly...

The first step is probably to determine the chemical makeup of the stones affecting your
dog. Once you know this, you may be able to take steps to help prevent their formation.
Some stones can be dissolved, others cannot.

Below are some articles that will provide more information-
http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm ... 34&aid=400

Struvite Stones- http://marvistavet.com/html/body_canine ... tones.html
Calcium Oxalate Stones- http://marvistavet.com/html/canine_oxal ... tones.html
Uric Acid Stones- http://marvistavet.com/html/body_uric_a ... tians.html

Emma, Darby and Kaytee's dad had calcium oxalate stones. This type of bladder stones does
not dissolve with diet changes but could be prevented with the right diet. He required
emergency surgery to remove the stones because they had blocked his urine flow. After
the surgery he was put on a special diet to prevent them.

Best wishes to you and your dog :hearts:
Excellent info Jaci.
I didn't know if dogs got all the same types of stones as humans but obviously they do.
Balou heeft dus struviet in zijn urine.
De dierenarts rade ons dieetvoer aan maar balou eet al heel zijn leven duck en brokken moet hij niet. Nu hebben we wel van duch ook dieet genomen en dat moet in feite ook goed zijn.
Verder gaven we cranberry stroop om zijn urine zuur te maken,hebben we homeopatische pillen gehad en nu homeopatische druppels maar het word niet minder.
Wat kunnen we misschien geven waardoor het wel weg gaat?
Hij heeft al 2 maal hierdoor een ontsteking gekregen en dat willen wij nu voorkomen.
Alvast bedankt

I put this through Google Translate-

Balou thus struvite in his urine.
The vet consult our diet but balou feed to eat all his life he should not duck and pieces. Now we have to duch diet also taken and should in fact be good.
Furthermore, we gave cranberry syrup for his uric acid, we have had homeopathic pills and homeopathic drops, but now it's getting no less.
What we might give making it go away?
It has been 2 times this had an inflammation and that we now avoid.
Thanks

Note that I am NOT a veterinarian. Just sharing some things I learned with one of my dogs...

So if I understand correctly, it's struvite. No bacterial infection along with it? Visit this website and translate it to Dutch-
http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm ... 34&aid=400
There is a table near the bottom of the page that outlines information about struvite stones.

As mentioned at the link above, there are commercial diets that may help. I don't know what brands are available in Holland though. Your vet must advise you which diet is appropriate for your dog.

Prescription Dog Food Manufacturers-

OR you might ask your veterinarian about Uroeze. This allowed me to put my dog Panda on a regular dog food. She had struvite crystals (NOT stones) and for a while she took Uroeze. Ask your vet if it might help your dog... first read about the drug side effects and contraindications.
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Rx_Info_S ... loride.pdf

OR you may be seeking a more natural approach. Betaine Hydrochloride (it's a supplement) seemed to even out Panda's digestive system. http://www.standardprocess.com/display/ ... de1515.pdf I can't tell you why it's working for her but she currently does not have a urinary ph problem and no struvite crystals. So again, ask your veterinarian if this would help or harm your dog.

My concern is that this information won't translate right. I do not know if any of the information shared above will help your dog or harm your dog so rely on your veterinarian's advice about diet and urinary acidifiers for struvite stones.

:ghug:
(^^ This should translate ok! :D It can be difficult dealing with urinary problems in dogs.)
