run n rate - 2014-11-19 4:47 PM Sorry for leaving you all hanging... CC had some trouble coming out of the meds and a bit from the epidermal. They put her back on the IV drip to help flush them and just had to wait it out. They kept her in the belly sling for quite sometime to make sure she wouldn't fall. She is back in her stall and doing pretty well. Tomorrow they will scope her and see if she needs to be flushed again, for that she won't need the heavier meds. Antibiotics and some banamine for the night and to come home on. Recommended to have her bladder ultrasounded every 6 months for awhile as well as the previous diet changes for the kidneys.

Vet doing the ultra sound was amazed. She said that normally a kidney with stones in it looks knarley, CC still look good. I'm crediting the herbs:-)

run n rate - 2014-11-19 5:19 PM Initially we just knew about the bladder stone after having her ultrasounded when she passed blood. The. We found out about the kidney stones which they basically can't do much for. I was told to take her home and put her down. Did some research , put her on a regiment of Equine Natural Care herbs for kidney, immune and lymph systems as well as changing her diet to grass hay. That was in May. In June I started her on some essential oils also, one that was recommended by Doterra and another from a board buddy. Also had her Bioscanned a few times a month, really noticed that she urinated much easier and more fully for a few days 4-5, after wards. We wanted to see if we could keep the kidneys functioning at a appropriate level to make the bladder stone removal worth the shot and obviously it appears we were able to do that. The vets were pretty excited to see heathy looking kidney, albeit with a stone in it, and it is producing urine just like the right stone free kidney . That is the goal, to keep the functioning at as high a level as possible so will continue with what has seemed to work so far.
