Hi all,
My girls are 6.5yrs old and have both had issues with bladder stones/sludge. Most recently Winnie had a large stone (about the size of a 5p!) removed via surgery at the end of July. They did x-rays at the time and didn't find any more, but the sludge problem is recurring in both of them.
I've got them on Sherwood Urinary Support tablets, I'm limiting their veggies to pretty much just cucumber and peppers, and they get timothy hay. I'm down south so their water is filtered as well. Evie has had potassium citrate in the past and I've got a bit of that left which I could use? I'm not sure what else I can do. They don't seem to be in pain (yet) but since the surgery my insurance no longer covers anything bladder/teeth/eye related and my premiums went up so I cancelled it. I'd really like to avoid any more surgeries due to cost and their age, apart from this issue and slowing down a little with age they're in good health.
I'm at a bit of a loss here so any advice is much appreciated.
