| Struvite Crystals Teddy's struvite crystals are gone! The uro-eze worked and he is peeing big puddles. We have a consult with our veterinary nutritionist tomorrow to put Teddy on a new home cooked diet to help prevent the new struvite crystals from forming. We are thrilled that they are gone!

| Not out of the woods yet :( Well apparently we are not out of the woods yet. We have to have an ultrasound to make sure Teddy does not have any stones. Apparently, a very small stone was noted at the last ultrasound, before we started the Uro-eze treatment. So if Teddy no longer has the stone, then we may be able to conclude his medication worked and that the stone was probably a struvite because only struvites are dissolvable by diet/medication (i.e. changes to the bladder environment). If he still has a stone, then we are looking at surgery to remove the stone and then send it to the lab to see if it is a struvite or a calcium oxalate stone. I'm hoping we are dealing only with struvites. Teddy seems better, I hope we do not need surgery.

| We are praying that his next ultrasound shows no stones. Glad to hear to hear he is feeling a little better and we really hope Teddy doesn't need surgery.
