hahaha poor little thing. he has it rough. he got rid of the shunt and stones so he feels better and wants to play probably for the first time in a while and he can't because he needs to be restricted. its for his own good though. a little more rest and he'll be as good as new

what if you put him in a room with the tv or radio on loud enough to block other noises. then pretend to leave. get your keys and purse, and open and close the door. do everything louder then you normally would so he can hear that and then be really quiet. LOL

His swelling has gone down even more. He is way more comfortable too. Still watching his urine. There is no blood, he's still dribbling rather than a steady stream. Most of his squats produce a decent sized puddle. Thank you for asking.

Update on Oscar....He started having trouble peeing again. It ended up that the surgeon had left behind 2 stones! He had surgery again last Tuesday. He did fine. The day he came home, he was peeing normally and has been since. My poor little guy has been through so much. I feel so bad for him.

aw that's horrible that he had to have surgery again. did the vet not take a post op x-ray after the first surgery to make sure he got them all out?

I'm not sure. Maybe they weren't visible because in order to see them on the x-ray this second time, he had to use dye.

hmmm, wonder if the stones weren't in the bladder but in the urethra instead. usually during the surgery a catheter is passed into the penis and its flushed so that anything possibly stuck will flow into the bladder to be removed with the rest of the stones.

when i've used dye for bladder x-rays it was usually to see if there was a tear in the urethra.

did you have to pay for the second surgery?

exactly I would think you would not have to pay for a second surgery I would not be happy about this at all as they should have made sure everything was out of there like Kellie said That poor little baby. I sure hope the ameroid constrictor is ok

The stone he removed during the original surgery was in the urethra.

Maybe it was air he used for the x-ray. I thought that he said they were going to first use dye, then air....I can't remember. It was such a stressful time.

He did not charge me for the second surgery...but I can't put a measure on the cost of Oscar being in pain for so long. I just hope that everything can be behind us now. I just want Oscar healthy.

I hope the ameroid constrictor is OK also. I am praying that the stones were an isolated incident and that he is a good surgeon.

Oscar seems to be doing well. I don't have much to compare it to because he didn't really show any signs of a liver shunt aside from the stones. I'm hoping he will put on some weight. Should I be noticing some weight gain yet. It has been 3 weeks since the LS surgery.
