According to traditional Chinese medicine terminology the condition of Kidney and Urinary stones is a pattern that we call "shi lin" which literally translates to the words "painful urination due to stones".
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
explains the formation of bladder/kidney stones to be the result of the preexistence of
pathological heat as well as additional internal dampness.
This unbalance may cause a dog to become vulnerable to the weakening of the Bladder
( this is the TCM Kidney system and always remember this is a metaphorical language and not the real Kidney!).
As the bladder continues to weakens, a further progression of the disharmony will then cause the
urine to decoct into the formation of stones and crystals.
The other big problem as we see it,
and it is a well-known fact, that once there is a formation of bladder or
kidney stones, it's most likely that a dog will continue to develop
and form stones for the rest of his or her life! Sad but true.

urination and by freeing the flow of urine, because this formula supports your pet's
natural ability to dispel stones!
PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS & CHINESE MEDICINE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Western Medical Approach: Dog (kidney and bladder stones) are
two conditions that often occur together. In western medicine, if these two
conditions are asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary, as risks often
outweigh the benefits. If symptomatic, alkalization of the urine may be
effective for uric acid stones, but not for other types of stones. In most
cases, dog kidney and dog bladder stones can only be treated with invasive
treatments such as surgery or ultrasound disruption therapy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Approach:
Dog kidney and bladder stones are two conditions that may be successfully
treated with herbs. By cooling and drying the "damp-heat",
herbal therapies can naturally support the flow of urine. Depending
on your pooch's internal environment and imbalances, the duration of treatment
ranges from days to months.
As always we encourage you to work with your veterinarian at all times and communicate all supplements you may be giving your pet.
