| Tiny Tim has bladder stones My sweet little foster boy, Tiny Tim (I call him Timmy) has a large bladder stone. He had one when he came to me back in May and has been on a RX diet since that time. He has calcium oxylate which the vet said are difficult to stop from forming. So depressing. He had a horrible night, waking up screaming, but nothing I could see that warranted a trip to the EC. I had a feeling it was either a stone or his back because he was hunched over but his bladder was not distended. Went to the vet first thing this morning and sure enough...a stone. She also saw what looks like a gall stone on the xray. I have a number to call if he gets obstructed....but nothing will be done until after Christmas since it is not considered an emergency unless there is an obstruction. He is on Metacam and also has Bupranex if needed. He seems ok this evening.

| How terrible. Poor little guy. Will be praying that he can be kept comfortable until this can be treated. If this is comparable to stones that people have, I can't imagine the pain he's in.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh my gosh, this breaks my heart to think of him screaming in pain . So hope those pain meds are kicking in big time. Give him a hug from me and a puppy kiss! How is he doing today?

| Timmy had a great night! He also is doing well today...she put him on Metacam and it seems to be doing the trick. I gave him Bupranex last night just to be sure he was comfortable. I am just so sad that he needs surgery yet again.

| Poor Timmy Tim. Hope he feels ok pending his surgery. I checked my list and sweet potatoes are high oxalate.

| Ugh...so I probably messed up. Poor baby. I feel terrible...I should have looked and not assumed. The vet said they often do come back and it may not be because of the treats, but I think so.
