Also: When Hilbert had bilateral hydronephrosis
a lot of extra fluid each day was also essential.
(Hilbert had a bladder diverticulum and cystine stones
sohe blocked. We also have a female ferret, Morney,
who has gotten cystine stones but both have been fine
for years as long as we keep their protein intake to no
more than 35%. This differs from sex linked (male)
cystine stones in dogs, and is a somewhat rare problem
in ferrets though I have been told of others. Anyway, their
problem was different from the one you are dealing with so...)
