Hello all. I haven't visited for a long while-life happenings!

But yesterday I needed to take Cassie to the Vet because she was peeing like crazy-I mean CONSTANTLY! All over our motel room!!!!!! And her urine is so strong and putrid-I mean just like ammonia out of the bottle--and her appetite decreased and she is only 2.3 lbs. And she has inoperable AAI as some of u already know. When I held her she would pee all over me- or the bed! Or carpet---- Completely incontinent now-I cannot find any diapers to fit her-she is so tiny-she is barely there-as if putting on diapers at a time like this were even a good idea-I don't know anymore.

and to make matters worse we are having to live with the girls in a motel for about a month-the girls, my dad who has dementia and myself due to a flood in the house from a broken water pipe! The house is unlivable now-all our things are in storage-and my dad every morning wants to know why we are not going home-I feel like I am going to lose it!

and now the local vet took X-rays and shows me a large kidney stone the size of a marble in Cassie's bladder!

Oh my GOD! It looks so BIG! I am worried sick!!!!!!!!!! Does it hurt my tiny baby? I know NOTHING about kidney stones. What should I know?

I couldn't get an appointment with my holistic Vet down in San Diego yesterday so I went local Vet to see what the problem was ASAP. I am having all records faxed to my holistic vet ASAP!

Is surgery the ONLY option? They said her bladder was too thick to get a urine sample-they tried twice in 2 days and failed, so then they took X-rays and saw the stone. Now she had one shot of bayatril and she is on Clavamox 2X daily every 12 hours.

CAN THE STONE BE DISSOLVED? Without surgery? I want this stone gone ASAP but I am terrified of surgery for her. What is my best option? Should I do this thing fast? I can't stand the thought of this thing inside of her, hurting her. It's making me crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Please please I need some big time advice from all of you wonderful yorkie talkers out there. HELLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!
