Urate stones-continually told needs hills prescription diet but this is not changing his urine ph. From what I’ve read these diets help with struvite and calcium oxolate and none specifically state urate stones which requires a low purine diet. Am
It depends on which diet you are using in the Hill's brand. The link below is to a school that many vets will send stones to for analysis. On this page you will find a PDF link to treatment/prevention of urate stones. There are several diets listed there. Another option is having a nutritionist make a diet for your pet that you would make at home. Most vet schools offer this service and it could be facilitated through your vet if you don't live near a vet school. Hopefully your pet has also been evaluated for diseases that predispose to urate stones as this is a more rare stone. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco! https://www.vetmed.umn.edu/centers-programs/minnesota-urolith-center/urolith-analysis/treatment-recommendations

Our Dalmatian mix dog recently had surgery to remove a diagnosed urate stone blocking the urethra. He is starting Royal Canin UC food and I also bought the treats. Is an occasional bit of cheese OK for this type of health situation. I've seen pros a
The goal in preventing the recurrence of urate stones is to avoid foods that contain purines. Cheese does not contain purines and is considered a good treat for urate stone forming dogs. I am attaching a handout below with more information about urate stones including the following list of foods that do not contain purines. "The following foods are considered virtually purine-free and can be used as treats for stone-forming dogs: Whole-grain cereals (as long as they do not contain yeast) Butter Cheese Eggs Fruits Milk" https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952069 I am also including information from the Minnesota Urolith Center about urate stones and prevention. https://www.vetmed.umn.edu/sites/vetmed.umn.edu/files/canine_urate_uroliths.pdf Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I was given a Bearded dragon that had gout, how can I help him without needing to take him to the vet he has had it for a while and it is visible. How do I know if he is in pain? What should I give him ?
Hello, Gout is an exceptionally painful condition and Ricky needs to be on medication for pain and to help slow progression of disease. There is no treatment to reverse or cure gout, and it generally has a guarded to poor prognosis. Our goals in treatment are to minimize pain and slow the disease. The medications needed must come from a veterinarian and Ricky’s condition needs to be closely monitored. A veterinarian will do an exam, blood work, and maybe X-rays to thoroughly assess Ricky and be sure the diagnosis is correct. Unfortunately, there is nothing effective that can be done at home without a veterinarian’s guidance aside from ensuring Ricky has appropriate nutrition, temperature and humidity. Refer to anapsid.org for guidelines on bearded dragon care and check arav.con to find a reptile vet near you. Good luck!

I've read so many bad things about Apoquel and would like to take my dog off of it. When my vet first put him on it he said my dog would need to take it for the rest of his life. Can I wean him off of it by giving him smaller and smaller doses of i
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tate. While Apoquel is still a somewhat new drug, it is very safe in my experience. It seems to have many less side effects when compared to steroids. If you are still wanting to stop, you do not need to taper him down. The drug can be given as needed for itching. You could consider Cytopoint instead. This is an injectable allergy medication that controls itching for 4-8 weeks. I hope this information helps!
