Also no green beans, spinach or beets...wonder if beet pulp is ok, it's in some dog foods.
Hope Tiny Tim will be ok til the surgery.

He's been eating a urinary diet but LJ had been sneaking him some treats

I feel sick about it all. The vet did say that these stones are the worst for recurrence...but I have never had this happen before. I gave him tiny pieces of sweet potatoes as treats..and now thinking maybe they caused it.

He is doing fine. Surgery is scheduled for Jan 8. I hate waiting but the schedule is full and this is not considered an emergency. They said it is highly unlikely it will lodge in the urethra because it is on the larger side.

So, Timmy can use your prayers.

Poor boy. Praying for Timmy.

I will be thinking about Timmy... Poor guy.

Poor Timmy....somehow snagged a toenail on his left rear foot. Took him to the vet late this afternoon and he was anesthetized and the nail removed, cauterized and wrapped. She gave him a pain med injection so he is in la la land. He is now on Clindamycin.

Oh, poor Timmy! little dude is having such a hard time. So sorry,hope he gets some rest and the 8th gets here quickly.

BlueBelle · 12-28-2013, 05:55 AM

Oh no! Poor little guy can't catch a break (except in his Momma)

mimimomo · 12-28-2013, 09:54 AM

Poor Timmy, hope he'll be ok...I've had my share of ouchy nails, blood all over the place, almost fainted but didn't so I can rush them to the vet, not fun!

ladyjane · 12-28-2013, 06:59 PM

Timmy had a difficult night but woke up this morning all bright eyed and bushy tailed.

mimimomo · 12-28-2013, 07:16 PM

They're such amazing creatures! I think we get more worried & feel guilty bc they got hurt, well I know I did!

Lisa and Pic · 12-29-2013, 04:31 AM

How is he doing with the removed toenail? I hope the pain is minimal. Also, just curious, do you think the toenail grow back? (One reason I am asking is Vivi did that to her dewclaw and a little piece appears to be growing back now.)

Anyway, hope he has another wonderful morning!

margaritaville · 12-29-2013, 05:22 AM

Poor Timmy, he just can't catch a break. As for the calcium oxalate stones, my son can speak to that pain. Make sure he drinks enough water.

Never thought about it. I am sure they grow back. It was not ripped out...just broken.
