| Remmy Surgery Update Remmy is out of surgery and in recovery. He had 5 stones in his bladder and two in his uretha. He just had surgery 5 months ago. I can't imagine that stones can form so fast. Amazing! He is doing well. I will be going to get him in a few hours.

He had struvite stones the last time. So they put him on the Hill's prescription food C/D. C/D is maint to keep them from getting struvite stones. Remmy had a bladder infection back in July. So at that time they put him on the S/D prescription food. That food is supposed to disolve crystals and stuvite stones. At that time we did not think he had stones because the last time he had blood in his urine even after being on antibiotics. So this time no blood in the urine. I just took a urine sample in last Sat and it showed no blood in his urine. However his Ph has remained on the high side. The vet told me the S/D should have lowered his ph. So now I have to wait for these stones to go to the lab to determine what kind of stones they are before they can recommnd treatment. I just want you all to know I have tried several things, Canberry extract, vitamin C, syringing water into Remmy. When Remmy was on the S/D food I had no problem with him drinking water. He drank a bowlful everyday. His urine never appeared cloudy or dark. It was very clear. I'm at a loss...he could have gone to the other extreme and gotten to much acid and developed calcium oxlate stones. We just won't know unitl the results come back from the lab. I am now looking at Apple Cider Vinger. I was reading on the internet that it acts as a ph balancer for the urine. I have to check around...can't believe everything you read on the internet...but at this point I'm willing to try anything.

| Poor little Remy! It sounds so painful. I am so glad his surgery went well and he will be back home with his Mommy today. Mommy's pretty glad too, right? Is this something he will be prone to or do you have to find out about the stones first to know that? Sure hope not. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Remy and Roxy sends hugs and puppy kisses.
