I am afraid bladder stones are very painful. Home remedies are not reliable and at best prolong this painful condition. It is much more humane to feed Franko a specific diet food that will usually dissolve bladder stones within about three to six weeks, provided they are struvite stones. Your veterinarian can sell you the diet. Apple Cider Vinegar, Oolong tea etc., are not palatable for cats and will not dissolve bladder stones.
