Lifelong therapy is usually needed.
Ex. Vasopressin
84
Urinary Acidifiers
These drugs are used to lower the pH of urine. Lower urine pH discourages the formation of certain urinary crystals or stones. Some crystals form in alkaline urine, so making the urine acidic (by lowering its pH) helps keep them in dissolved form.
Often the diet needs to be changed as well to help stop the production of crystals or stones. You can test the animal’s urine pH with test strips, an effective way to monitor the animal’s response to therapy.

causing blood vessels to constrict, serum leaks into wound and fibrin helps clotting of the blood to seal
up the wound
Stage 2: white blood cells move into the area to help clear up the infection and remove dead material
Stage 3: fibroblasts, cells that produce fiber, begin to move through the area, producing
collagen which, in combination with new capillaries, forms granulation tissue (scar tissue)

stronger
