Nancy,
I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I've been so busy that I
don't know if I am coming or going.
It's great that Coti has been so healthy for so long!! If you will share
what you are feeding her with the Purely Pets staff nutritional consultant, she
can assess whether the problem with the bladder stones may be dietary related
and prevent them from happening in the future. You can contact her from the
PurelyPets.com website.
Purely Pets does have something that may be helpful for her for now:

Holistic Animal Care - KidniFlow</A>
And is the vet giving her Rimadyl for discomfort regarding her kidneys? Or
is it her joints? Because for joints, we have many different products that can
be used with great success and no toxicity. If it's to help with the pain in
her kidneys, I am not sure what can be done other than to correct the
problem, which the KidniFlow would probably do. You can ask about the Yucca
Intensive since it does help with inflammation.
As far as Dylan's problem with being high-strung, there are a lot of things
that can be tried. Here are just some of them:

>Holistic Animal Care - Herbal Calm</A>
or even a combination of both.
Speaking with our pet nutritionist may be helpful, as we carry some other
products like Nite Off (melatonin) and an adaptogenic called Primorye that may
also be helpful, though they are not up on the website at this time.
I hope that helps!
