Common Health Issues

Dental Problems

Struvite are the most common type of bladder stones in dogs. They often develop in the presence of a urinary tract infection, because bacteria increase urinary pH (and these stones need a high, or alkaline, pH to form) and produce ammonia, which is a component of struvite.

Suggested Solution: Cystigo deep and dull pain in the kidneys due to bladder or kidney stones, burning sensation in the bladder and urethra while urinating, insufficient flow, milky or foamy, stranguria, haematuria, dysuria, continuous desire to urinate, etc., are recovered with the use of this drug.
