My little girlie Ginnie has had a rough time with stones since last September and I’m desperately trying to break this cycle by syringing extra fluids in to her.
Recently she’s also been diagnosed with a heart condition which she’s receiving medication for.

Common sense tells me to give her heart meds first thing in the morning then after two hours syringe fluids in to flush her bladder before going to work.

She’s taking Fortekor Pal Tablets x 2 daily
Frusol 0.2 x 2 daily
Cystease capsule x 2 daily
40mls extra fluids syringed daily (broken down in to 2 sessions)

I used to do it all at the same time but then I started thinking that the heart meds would be just flushed out. Am I right in thinking this way and should I continue to leave gaps between medication and flushing or does it not really matter?
 
Good luck with Ginnie. :) Hope someone has the advice you need. Perhaps the vets would tell you? :)
