Treatment and Outcome


Treatments
Day 25

Notes:  we are going to collect urine today for urinalysis and culture/sensitivity analysis and recheck ultrasound to see how the stones are looking. She is still doing well clinically. Wants to urinate several times each time she goes for walks outside, even if only a small amount of urine is released. A bit challenging to get the Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang and Cranberry into her- she is a finiky eater. Will often eat the herbs if mixed with beef tallow or broth.

Acupuncture points were stimulated

Manipulation or massage was performed


Day 40

Notes:  still as stones seen in her bladder on ultrasound and still has struvite crystals

Diet is largely canned or kibble

Acupuncture points were stimulated

Manipulation or massage was performed
