Hi Millie
This is probably a bit late for you but you may be able to tuck the info away for another time. Kidney bladder problems are very common in cats.
There are two herbs that will break up kidney stones one is Eupatorium purpureum (Gravel root) and the other one is Hydrangea arborescens (Hydrangea). But to use them for stones you need to mix them with something that will soothe the urinary passages in case they pass. I usually use Marshmallow and Corn silk. Mix these herbs either in tincture form or dried (and make into a tea, soaking them 20 mins or more) and give three times a day. The dose for tinctures is 4 drops a day and tea is about 1/4 teaspoon.
Sorry I can’t help you with the vet bills.
