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.
Poor Teddy~let's keep thinking positive that he will be given an all clear after the ultrasound. Have you scheduled yet?
