A fellow pet owner suggested Vetoquinol Methigel for my cat who had a history of bladder stones (a calcium stone) 8-10 years ago. Does this work effectively to balance the urinary pH?
In most cases, a prescription urinary diet is recommended in the case of pets with a history of bladder stones. These diets not only help maintain the pH in the optimal range to aid in stone prevention, but are formulated to help manage urine volume and mineral concentrations to reduce formation of crystals and stones, and in some case contain ingredients to help reduce the risk of inflammation in the urinary tract. I recommend speaking to your vet regarding management of Petal's tendency to form bladder stones. They will likely recommend regular urine testing to make sure she doesn't show signs of crystals or infection, and may recommend a prescription diet for her. The Vetoquinol Methigel may or may not be recommended, depending on what Petal's urine pH is.

Our Westie has went to the vet for a UTI and during the urinalysis struvite crystials were noted. She has been on C/D prescription diet for about 10 weeks to see if they clear up. In your article you mention that some animals are more predisposed to
They do make a pill known as DLM that helps lower the pH but if you lower it too much you can form calcium crystals in the urine that can lead to bladder stones as well. Either method takes frequent urine checks to monitor progress

what over the counter items and supplements would be best for treating a dog with a UTI? Are there any vitamins or supplements that may help treat this as well as prevent future problems?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. If Kansas has an active UTI, I would recommend antibiotics for treatment. If there is not a current infection and an infection was just treated, you can use cranberry supplementation to help maintain urinary tract health. I recommend using Paxon but there are many other choices and you can find them at Petco. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I am very confused. My 14 yr Bichon had 2 oxalate bladder stones pushes back into bladder and removed. Thevet at the emergency hospital recommended royal canin so to get ph to 7. It is staying at 6.5 and sometimes 6. primary vet says this is fine and
Hello. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, some of these dogs keep developing stones, & we just do not know the total reason & mechanism for this. So you are perfectly right to feel confused, & frustrated with this. The Royal Canin S/O has been one of the best options in terms of preventing stones through the diet, & of course, the more water he takes in, the more water there is to flush the oxalate elements out of his bladder before stones reoccur. Sometimes we do recommend potassium citrate, if urine pH is consistently lower than 6.5, & some newer thinking is to add hydrochlorothiazide if he does seem to be redeveloping urolithiasis frequently & he does not have high blood calcium levels. You could monitor his urine for blood with urine dip strips manufactured for this purpose ( your vet can help with this ). A full urinalysis should be done every 3-6 months to keep pH between 6.5 & 8 & to maintain urine specific gravity to 1.020 or lower. Imaging, with either ultrasound
