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. |
