Bladder stones can be quite painful for dogs, but there are many natural treatment routes available. Homeopathy has a long history of safety and effectiveness, and may be the answer for a dog's bladder stones.

Features
-
Certain breeds are more prone to developing bladder stones. Therefore, treating the current stones naturally as well as taking a preventive approach is recommended.
Homeopathy Treatment
-
Naturally treating bladder stones with homeopathy can be very effective. Thlaspi bursa pastoris, or shepherd's purse, is a popular choice, since it encourages urination. Aconite is also used in many homeopathic preparations to help dissolve bladder stones.
Significance
-
Make sure to have plenty of clean water available to the dog, since drinking water will help dilute urine and speed up the process of dissolving stones. Additionally, make sure the dog is able to urinate at the maximum every six to eight hours, since holding the urine can add to the stone problem.
Considerations
-
Dosing with homeopathic medications is normally one pellet every 30 to 45 minutes until the pain or condition lessons.
Warning
-
If the dog is showing no improvement after three days on the homeopathy medicine, it is wise to take the dog to the veterinarian. Likewise, if the dog appears to be in significant pain, a trip to the veterinarian is warranted.
