Henry - crusty eyes, lethargic
Trader Joe's are not near me, but from what I hear about them, I wish they were! There's one by my vet apparently, but since I drive that hour every other day of my life, I'm going to not do that today. There's a natural food store closer to my house, so I'll stop there first.
So, any specific amount to give her? Should I limit it to 1cc a day or should I let her go nuts? This is - if she'll actually take it.

Okay well it seems like Critterberries are good, but maybe not cutting it in Henry's situation -- it seems like most things are not cutting it. We'll see how she takes the juice today.
I know I haven't gotten much homeopathic advice, but, uh, is this stuff *supposed* to be colorless, odorless, and tasteless? I mean, it just appears as if there's water in there. Weird.
And again, is it really possible there's a stone or other obstruction in there that we aren't seeing on the multiple x-rays and ultrasounds? Or maybe it's just a cystitis I have to somehow deal with. But nothings helping. Hmm.

Yeah, it's homeopathic medicine--it probably is just water in there. The way homeopathy "works" is that they take an active ingredient and dilute it a lot. Then they dilute it some more. Then they dilute it again, and say the water is behaving like the thing that may or may not be in there. Anything that has like "cranberry 3X" or "nightshade 10X" on the back is homeopathic.
Herbal supplements will be listed in mg, or mcg generally. Like "Chanca piedra 200mcg" or "Echinacea 600mg" or "dong quai 50mg". They may not help, they may have harmful effects, but there is an active ingredient.

Just an update here. She is still crying while peeing, although it *seems* less loud and less long. Maybe the Bactrim is killing the E. Coli, maybe the magic water is doing something. Only time will tell really. She also started zooming around her cage. Henry is not a zoomer, so at first I thought she was panicking over something, but she's been doing it more often and doesn't seem distraught. So maybe she's feeling slightly better. For two whole days her weight was up too! So I thought there might actually be weight gain occurring. But now she's back to her new-normal weight. And that's fine, but eh, I was hoping we could beef her up since each time she goes in for something, she drops a little bit.
But then again, I might just be seeing and hearing things and wishing for stuff that I want to happen and it's all in my head. But that's the update for now.
