My dog is sick. It started 3 weeks ago when he wouldn’t pee – brought him into the vet and they removed a mucus plug, but the next weekend, he was back to the same issue. Again they removed a mucus plug and suggested an ultrasound. We scheduled one. The next weekend, he was doing better on acidic meds to break up what they thought were beginning kidney stones. He was doing okay so they canceled the ultrasound. Then, in the middle of the week, he had a complete turn around. Now he couldn’t stop himself from peeing!!! And it was happening to the point where he’d piss and then just lay in his own pee because he was so lethargic. He started throwing up. We brought him back into the vet and they put him on anti-inflamatory’s and new food (C/D diet) because we thought that was the problem. Now his potty problems seem to have disappeared – but he’s still incredibly lethargic and is puking ALL the time. I am running out of money to bring him in. He’s also got slimy stuff from his mouth.

My 10-year old dog, (un-neutered male rottie-shepherd X) had blood in his urine and I took him to the vet. They said he had crystals in his urine and to give him Novomoxin (4 tabs/day for 10 days). He finished his meds 2 days ago but he still had some blood in his urine! We went back to the vet and urine was tested. Vet said that he may possibly have kidney stones (X-Ray sched. tomorrow) and that he should get neutered as well.
Vet said the UTI was caused from lack of proper nutrition in dog food. I have been feeding him Natural Balance Potato & Duck (wet mixed with dry) for OVER 1 YEAR so my questions are:
1: Is the above food is not nutritious enough for him/low quality to cause the UTI (or any other health problems)?
2: Why is this happening now??
3: What exactly should a dog be eating for optimal health? Vet recommended Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Science Diet & ProPlan but I think there are too many by-products/additives and I want my dog to eat the healthiest food.
Please help!

Intrusive and Evil Thoughts
Anorexia – Obsessive about gaining more weight – Fear of eating too much – look bigger when looking in mirror – obsess about what I ate during the day, and have repeated thoughts on counting how many things I ate during the day. Often do this every day and think this like 6 times in 2 hours and the thought stays with me for 3 minutes at least. I stand in front of the mirror for about 6 minutes at least because I’m not sure if I look smaller. Even though that my clothes are now bigger because of exercise and diet.

I need a lot of reassurance to get me through the worries
Fear and obsess about sleep eating disorder
Fear of torturing people
Fear of becoming a child abuser
Difficulty swallowing
Change in appetite
Startled very easily
Tired all the time
I Google my symptoms online which triggers even more worrying. I spend most times researching symptoms online/books and dictionaries
I joined loads of online forums and found that other people’s experiences help me get rid of the fears and phobias for a while. And often need reassurance
I am very aware of all my symptoms and I think there is something wrong with me. And I am not normal.
When in a panic mode, I often reassure myself I am normal in my head, I also sometimes whisper the word, “I’m Normal” Or tell myself not to worry e.g. “Don’t Worry” which sometimes helps.
Fear of puberty going wrong or fear of something abnormal stopping it.
Wet dreams – I used to have wet dreams and obsessed about it until i was told it was normal for teenagers. Before i knew it was normal for them to stop I used to go through some rituals.
Numbers – on the TV volume, I like even numbers and I usually like numbers from multiples of 5
Sensation – that i am falling of the bed or somone is pulling me backwords when i am asleep.

Thank You in advance

I had been taking Topamax for migraines. I was on 400mg a day and it helped really well, but recently found I have a kidney stone due to using Topamax so I am trying to find a different med. I can take for it. For those of you that don’t know, Topamax is used to prevent migraines, not to help with the pain. If anyone has personal experience I would prefer your answer. I don’t want answers like imitrex, maxalt, zomig, as these are to treat the pain after you have gotten a migraine. I want an answer for a med to prevent the migraines. Thanks in advance.

I’m a 14 year old girl (5′1, 88lbs) I HATE HOW I LOOK
I’m extremely bony, I SO want to gain weight (I had an eating disorder a few months ago)
i want to gain HEALTHY weight (muscle)..So I’m on a high protein and carb diet. I ONLY eat healthy foods. I very rarely eat junk. plus I exercise 3 days a week (20-30mins of cardio 45mins/1hr strength training) I also take 1hr pilate classes 5-6 days a week..

I was just wondering if It would be safe for me to use protein powder for after my workouts..Can I use it? or am I too young? what if I just use HALF a scoop instead of a whole one? I’m thinking about buying this
http://eas.com/product/100-pct-whey-protein-powder

I heard that more protein helps your growing process as your a teenager. is that true?..but then again I heard lots of protein causes kidney stones (my mom has them) but I drink a lot of water so I think i’m good..Do you think taking protein will benefit me at all?

I heard that calcium can do a lot for your hair, and someone told me that it can prevent or put off a current hairline.
Most of the men on my dad’s side of the family have had baldness to some extent.
No one on my mother’s side of the family has had hairloss including my grandfather who didn’t seem to lose any hair until he died in his mid-70’s.
I have an average amount of body hair, maybe a little more. I have hairy legs and a unibrow if I don’t shave it, but everything else seems about average for my age.
I have a lot of calcium in my body, so much so that I have been prone to getting kidney stones since I was in 5th grade. I think this is why my bones and teeth are so strong.
So, with the information given, do you think I’ll end up bald or with significant hairloss?
Maybe I should mention that I’m 15 and have a straight hairline. It goes back very little on the sides, a bit less of a recede than I see on most other guys.
I would also like to ask when you think they’ll have a cure for baldness.
I also have hair like my maturnal grandfather. We both have the same color hair and it’s wavy in pretty much the same places.

For most of my life I’ve eaten mostly junk food but I never really felt bad nor did I ever get sick or have any health problems. When I stopped that, lost weight, and ate only healthy food I’ve been having constant problems and getting sick. I’ve gotten several colds since I’ve stopped where before I haven’t had a single cold in ten years. I’ve lost weight but I feel more tired and crappy then I did when I ate only junk food. I’m now getting kidney stones and UTI’s as well as lower and upper back pain and arm and chest pains ever since I started eating healthy. What the hell is wrong with me!?!? I get 8 hours of sleep a night and I get just about everything I need from my diet and anything I don’t get I take a vitamin for. I’m so frustrated and confused.
I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, rice and fish and things like that.

I took my GSD into the vet yesterday because she had been peeing unknowingly on the floor a bit at a time. Urine tests and a blood panel show that her urinary Ph is too high (7.5) and I’m told she has crystals in her urine that are causing her to "leak." My vet put her on either Science Diet C/D PRESCRIPTION or Royal Canin Urinary SO, but I’m concerned because the 1st or 2nd ingredient in both foods is ground corn, and I thought that was JUNK that’s horrible for pets???

HELP! My vet says if I don’t feed her one of these foods for 6 months, she’ll get blood in her urine and then kidney stones that would need to be operated on or she’d die. What do you think, and is there any other foods or methods of helping crystals in the urine???
My dog is 5 yrs old and otherwise healthy.
I had been feeding her Solid Gold. The vet also said absolutely NO meat or food scraps as everything except this prescription food is too high in protein.
I bought the Royal Canin Urinary SO and started her on it tonight and she LOVED it (surprised me b/c she’s picky). Just curious as to other’s opinions b/c I was told my whole life that ground corn = crap.

I just did a ultra sound and got a notice saying that I have a 0.5 x 0.7 cm Calculus in the lower pole of the left kidney. Ever since I had kidney stones two years three years ago, I’ve been getting them every year! Last year i went to ER for that. My question is how do you prevent kidney stones? How do you get rid of them once you have it ( I have one right now) ? Is 0.5 x 0.7 cm consider a big stone or small? I use computer all day, that might be the case i got stones? cause i always get thirsty.

Ok so I have been trying to be really healthy by introducing greens slowly into my diet. But I have been having doubts.

I have done some reasearch and there has been a lot of of research on oxalates in greens. When greens are left at their natural states they are not oxalic acid right? but when they are heated they turn into oxalic acids which bind to calcium increasing risk for kidney stones and eving robbing our bones of calcium.

Do you think if I take 1000mg of Calcium a day it would be better or worse.

I am sooo confused. I literally spent hours tryign to research this but everyone had different opinoions.HELP

I have a 9 year old brown tabby cat. We adopted him from the shelter when he was 2 and have had him for 7 years.

During the first week he was with us he had a seizure and so we rushed him to the vet and they told us he could possibly have epilepsy. They ran tests but they couldn’t find anything concrete. These past 7 years, he’s had seizures at random, sometimes 2 or 3 in a year. We went to many different vets seeking different opinions but they all told us the same thing, they didn’t know what was causing the seizures.

He resulted with kidney stones, about 2 years ago, which we treated and he’s been on medicated dry food ever since.

Now, he’s recently developed diabetes, and the cost to treat him is very expensive. I also feel that if i tried treating him, he’d be in pain and stress anyway. Injecting the insulin every 12 hours, taking him to weekly visits to the vet for check ups, other treatment, etc. would be a lot for him.

He’s already lost a lot of weight, even though he eats and eats, and drinks a lot more water than usual. We’ve changed his diet to a low carb, high protein but it doesn’t seem to help. He’s shedding way more and seems unhappy.

What makes it worse is that i that he’s barely 9 years old, but i don’t want him suffering.

Would the best thing be to put him to sleep?

I keep telling her that she should take someone my vitamin P before bedtime. It’s known to rid the body of excess sodium, healthy dilation of your blood vessels, etc.. It is also beneficial in that it prevents the risk of stroke, osteoporosis, and helps eliminate kidney stones. The doctors even saying it’s a good idea!

How can I convince my girlfriend to take some of my vitamin p for her own health?

I am a 35 year old male. 6’1 320 lb… Married and a father of two children… I am sick almost all the time. Into my mid 20s I was an athlete. When I had an injury that the doctors called a soft tissue injury of the ankle… They treated this by throwing pain killers at me for 7 years until I saw a specialist who told me it was in fact acute gout. I was told additionally I have a genetic condition called hyperlipidima my body naturally makes to many lipids. I was told they were over 10,000. Needless to say they were amazed I was alive. I have normal to low blood pressure. My cholesterol was 280…and is now 200. last time I had it checked. I have an uncler where my esophagus meets my stomach. They gave me a generic form of nexium to fix it. And it did from what I can tell.
I have this wonderful pain in my abdomen like all my organs get swollen and I also at that time double over in pain from cramps, as well as excessive gas and belching some kind of sulfur smelling something… It makes me vomit and have diarrhea to the point I lay on the bathroom floor and just hope if I was to fall asleep I would not wake up. I am tired, angry, cranky, depressed, and at a total loss. I talk to the doctor who tells me to losse weight. So, I try and well when I move it feels like 10000000 pins are slamming through my ankle so exercise is not easy. I can’t swim because I live in a cold weather region. I break bikes…flat out. I have lost 30 lb by diet modification. I cut out sugar and soda. I eat more veggies and less fats and red meat. Mostly because if I don’t I get a massive wave of pain from eating that stuff. I don’t sleep well… I have trouble breathing….I can’t stand for more then 2o min at a time…and if I do I can’t move for 3 days unless u take 800 mg anti-inflammation drugs. I have uric acid deposits in my feet. I take alloperinol for that when I can afford it. I can’t do this anymore. This needs to get fixed or I am a dead man. Oh and I have kidney stones…too…weee.

my nefue last year got really sick. first he had strep throat and all of his throat swelled up from the inside out and then all of a sudden his ankle started swelling up too, and these red spots that were identified by the doctor as burst blood vesseles apeared all over his face and through out the rest of his body. after he was rushed to the hospital the doctor told us that my 4 yr old nefue had kidney stones, and he was peeing blood. and the reason he was peeing blood was because his intestines were some how "i think" digesting the blood that his body was making. and he ended up in intensive care for several months. we dont know how he got it or what caused it, and niether do the doctors. we had him checked out by 5 specialists. and they couldnt figure out how or why he got the way he was. the doctor put him on 2 types of meds. the first type of medication he gave him was something for his blood pressure. and then the 2nd kind was steroids to calm his body down. after that my nefue was put on a very strict diet do to his medication and his current symptoms.the doctor told us to be carefull because there is a chance it will come back. so we went the whole year with no signs of anyt thing. than all of a sudden april comes along again and the same symptoms begin to occur all over again. i am very scared, his mother and i already nottified the doctor, but i just wanted to know if anyone had any expireience with this and if they know anything about it plz let me know whats going on and why did it decide to come back the next year on the same exact month as it happened before? im really worried, cuz what ever he has attacks his amune system really bad. i want everything to be okay. plz help me…

Lived here over four years. My wife and I are 62 and expect some physical problems, but were never seriously ill or had any serious problems before moving in. House is old, built 1892. Divided into 2 separate apartments at some point, probably the 70s. No lead paint or anything like that. I Live upstairs, full 2 bedroom apt. Not bad, clean. Family downstairs has been moved in a little before we did. Here’s the problem. Everyone down there has become ill. Different things, serious back and joint problems with husband, psychotic episodes with wife. It’s been one thing after another. They’re young, 40, and nice people. The same type of stuff started occurring with wife and I two years ago. High blood pressure (230/120) for me when I finally checked it, high cholesterol. Several back pain. My wife started losing her vision and we found she had cataracts. Did the surgery and though her vision is good left eye still bothers her. She woke up one morning two years ago with sever pain in the shoulder. They did everything to her for months and nothing was found. She’s never been overweight and has never used sugar or drank soft drinks. Eats a real healthy diet, but was diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol 2 weeks ago. The month before that I had to take her to emergency room for high heart beat (191) They fixed it with a special shot that re-regulates the heart. I developed kidney stones over the last several months, and three weeks ago woke up with a swollen knee. It’s super painful and I can hardly walk, but I absolutely did not injure it. It was just there in the morning just as my wifes shoulder. Here’s the point. A few months after we moved in I found myself looking at the stairway that leads down to the front door and thinking of a little girl. It sounds crazy but it seemed I could see or at least clearly imagine her. She’s about eleven and sits at the bottom of the stairs. I think she does come up here but only at night. She didn’t frighten me and until all this illness, that just keeps coming, I got no bad feelings. I mentioned to my neighbor and he said he was positive this place was haunted. Until last week I took none of it very seriously, however, my brother in law, who is a minister and who I haven’t seen in ten years visited. He took one step in the door and looked at me and said, "Do you know this place is haunted?" He is a very honest and down to earth man. I answered I did and we didn’t discuss beyond me saying I didn’t feel it was anything bad. Strangely the woman who lived here before us died shortly after moving, as did the woman who lived downstairs before the current neighbors moved in. One other thing that was odd was my best friend visited one day two years ago. We had coffee and at some point he said he wasn’t feeling well. He ended up in the hospital that night with a heartbeat of over two hundred and the same symptoms my wife subsequently suffered. My question is can places be bad? Has anyone ever heard of something like this associated with a house, or is this just my imagination from all these problems. I would appreciate any sincere comments. Thanks
Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful answers. It seems more and more obvious that there is little to lose in moving from here and possibly much to gain. Thank you again.

A child was born with an undescended testicle and went in for surgery at age 2, the testicle that was up was brought down, but then one of the testicles went back up, possibly the other teste, and became undescended. The doctors kept telling the mother every thing was fine, there was nothing wrong. There was nothing done about this until the child got kidney stones at age nine, first thought from the child’s drinking to much milk or possible slight obesity, the child then had to have surgery for the second time to have the teste brought down, after a test the doctor that did the surgery then said that they believed that the stones were not due to the milk, but due to the undescended testicle and did surgery on it at that time to bring it down. What are the risk because of this teste not being down like it was suppose to be and how would that have happened? What would have caused the doctors not to see it? What was most likely the cause of all of this? Could it have been prevented?

in other words, how much soda can i drink before it becomes unhealthy? do nutritionists even allow caffiene as part of a daily diet? i usually drink two or three cans of 12 ounce sodas on average/day. there are some days like today, that i have drunken two or three cans plus a whole two liter bottle of pepsi. if i look at the servings, it says theres 8 per two liter. so 8 times the 28 grams of suger per bottle equals 224 grams of sugar. i don’t normally do this however, and its mostly when im tired. also, after im tired, and i already had a 5 hour energy drink. so im afraid of having kidney stones when i get older. i know the permanent efffects of caffiene, such as enamel loss. i can tell this by looking at my teeth in the mirror, and noticing the transparent shadow. i know soda does lead to bone loss, since the acids in the soda rob your body of calcium. i do have a bowl of cereal and plenty of milk in the morning. so im getting my daily recommended servings of calcium, as well as any other vital nutrients and vitamins. i also brush my teeth soon after cups of soda, so my teeth don’t also rot out when i get old. am i thinking about this too much?
also, go to work at 2, 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning. as soon as i clock in, i drink a 5 hour energy drink. before i come to work however, im terribly exhausted. then add to several cans of soda after the energy drink at work to keep me going, plus whatever soda i drink at home. am i leading to a problem?

I was on the Atkins diet and I loved it. I ate lots of meat and vegetables. I didn’t miss sweets, and I lost 52 pounds in 6 months without having to work out (although I know I should have been exercising).

I talked to several people who are in the medical field and they were saying that it is unhealthy; that I could develop kidney stones or worse. I got off the diet, and later gained all the weight back plus some. At the time I didn’t have medical insurance, so I couldn’t get checked out by a doctor.

I eventually got insurance and went to the doctor. My doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Atkins as long as I drank plenty of water.

So my cat had a vet appointment on friday due to an injured ear, but friday morning i also noticed he was going to his litter box and not doing his business which i thought strange. So when we went to the vet i also mentioned this. The vet now has him on three different medications PLUS a Special wet food diet to help hydrate him, and told me to watch him for straining when urinating, crying when urinating, excessive licking of his penis, and or vomiting and not eating. None of those things have been a problem but im still really paranoid because if this small bladder infection gets worse it could become kidney stones which is very expensive for me and painful for him. I have not seen him urinate at all today but i hear cats only pee 1 to 3 times a day…… but i don’t know how to make sure he is even able to urinate. I also heard there is a certain way that a person could push on a cats bladder to make it pee. My question is how do you do that i cant find the answer anywhere online. I just really want to make sure he is able to. He seems much more playful and happy compared to friday or thursday. I just don’t know what do you yahooers think?

I used to never get sick then I moved to a new state and I feel like i’m sick all of the time! This past month i’ve had two kidney stones that messed me up for a week at a time. Now i feel like I have the flu (nauseous, body aches, fever, chills) I’m always tired ALWAYS. I have low thyroid but i’m on medication for it. I’m dizzy 90% of the time and feel like i’m gonna pass out about as much. I’m so sick of being sick but I don’t have insurance to be going to the doctor to get a bunch of tests done. I’m wondering if maybe it’s a diet problem…I don’t eat the healthiest (constantly on the go) but i’m not overweight. I usually eat fish and salads but probably get mcdonalds a couple times a week when ‘m on my way to class. Oh and i get migraines but i’ve always had those. Anyway does this sound like anything or am i just a hypochondriac lol.

Tomorrow I have to see my doc about finding out that I have kidney stones. I know I have them. I always have them and my parents are going to kill me over it because I don’t do what I’m supposed to do. The thing is I’m disabled and I’m sick of taking "extra" care of myself and I don’t want to worry about doing more to prevent more kidney stones. I’d rather not live at all. I can’t tell my parents but I have to because they’re my transportation to the hospital and they wil know eventually. They always do. I don’t trust my parents at all. I don’t trust them , after the way they treat me over it for at least 20 years. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m already too depressed and panicking.
