One in August then October and just recently I took her in and she had blood in her urine. The vet felt on her stomach area and she did not show any pain or tenderness which made him think no stones. He did a check on her anatomy area and found that her vulva is covered by skin, therefore creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Is this procedure safe?

Since this his urine is a lot stronger even only after 1 1/2 days at 1 tablet 1000mg with 50mg of vitamin C morning and night with meals. I have also ordered the Ester-C in powder for so as to mix it with his food and water. This is along with the Hills SD. He is feeling a lot happier even only after just over a day on the cranberry capsule. He is now also having 1 can of Hills SD morning and 2 cans at night now with the cranberry capsule.

I do find the higher dose of ester C quite helpful. I would continue the cranberry tablets another few weeks. I do find the higher dose of ester C quite helpful.
