Kidney Problems Related to Food Recalls

"I HAVE A DOG THAT HAS GOT SOME OF THE BAD DOG FOOD AND IS HAVING KIDNEY PROBLEMS. SHE IS A WESTIE AND 13 YEARS OLD. I ORDERED YOUR TRIPSY AND WAS WONDERING IF IT IS ALRIGHT TO GIVE IT TO HER WITH ALL THE MEDICINES THEY HAVE HER ON. CIMETIDINE 200MG, SUCRALFATE 1GM, VIT K-1 2MG (I TIME A DAY), ENAPRIL 5MG, DERMA CAPS, EPAKITIN, RESOURCE K9,BL & ENERGY, AZODYL CAP AND ON HILLS K/D OF COURSE WHICH SHE DOESN'T LIKE.

I ALSO ORDERED THE MILK THISTLE FOR MY OTHER DOG WHICH HAD SOME LIVER DAMAGE. DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD GIVE HER THAT OR NOT.

WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD GIVE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO FOR HER. IF YOU HAVE A GOOD VITAMIN IN LIQUID FOR THEM ALSO.

THANK YOU."

Hello,

Because your dog is taking so many different pharmaceuticals you will need your vet to make sure that the Tripsy can be taken at the same time. There are no counter indications listed for the product, but because of how many different products she is taking you will want to check with your vet. I have listed the ingredients below.

• Stone Root: Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, acts as tonic for the capillaries, prevents kidney calculi formation in dogs.
• Breakstone Parsley: Diuretic, soothes irritated or inflamed tissues.
• Wild Hydrangea: Urinary antiseptic, soothes irritated tissues and reduces formation of urinary calculi in dogs.
• Gravel Root: A restorative and cleansing herb that acts especially on a dog's genitourinary organs.
• Marshmallow: Anti-inflammatory; controls bacterial infection; soothes and softens irritated tissues.
• Oregon grape: Contains alkaloids (berberine, berbamine, and hydrastine), resins and tannins; has demonstrated antibiotic and immunostimulatory activities.
• Purple Coneflower: Inhibits bacterial formation of hyaluronidase, induces production of interferon; alterative, immunostimulant, promotes lymphocyte activities and stimulates phagocytosis.
  
  

Milk Thistle is excellent for aiding the liver functions and is quite beneficial in cases of poisoning or when a pet is taking very strong pharmaceuticals. Like the Tripsy though, double check with your vet.

We do have a liquid multi vitamin that I would recommend to you. It is excellent support for their body especially when they are ill. You can see the details at http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-vitamins-p76.cfm.

Good Luck
