Max had his PCCL SURGERY today. We just got him home about an hour ago and he is zonked. Poor baby looks dazed. They said he did very well. The stone in the urethra was removed and the bladder explored. He is on restriction for three weeks. Super limited for three days at which time there may be blood in the urine and straining.
Here’s hoping. They won’t guarantee he won’t need it again. He has to have X-rays twice a year for life.
Imagine the size diamond I could have gotten for the $4600.00 his one stone cost. However, there is no limit I would place on the value of Max. I do wonder how I can do this if it happens often. But then what choice does anyone have in this situation? Seriously, what if something comes up an owner can not afford?
