Wow, Emily. Good job finding that crystal; I'm sure your vet will want to run an analysis on it. She may have had a bit of an obstrution from the stone and so great difficulty peeing Has she been drinking enough fluids lately? My Cody has had several infections over her lifetime, all easily treated with a course of antibiotics. Whenever one of the dogs, or cats are exhibiting signs and symptoms of a bladder infection, I drop off a sample for unialysis at the vet's, just in case. My guinea pig Squeekers suffered from bladder stones as well. I know many people believe that cranberry juice is effective in treating a bladder infection, but acutally it's benefits lay in drinking it on a regular basis, before you get an infection! It's been found to prevent the growth of bactieria in the bladder. BUT, lemonade has been found to actually prevent kidney stones! And you can get pure, unsweetened cranberry juice at the health store; but BITTER! Hugs and get well wishes coming your way sweet Abbey girl; feel better soon!! Check in when you can Emily!
