Between work and dealing with Silvio, it has been one hell of a week already!<BR/><BR/>Silvio went back to the vet who did his PU surgery to get an ultrasound. He definitely had bladder stones. They flushed a whole bunch of 1-2mm stones out with saline. He is back home now, and seems to be doing pretty good. They will send the stones out for testing. When we know what kind they are, that will direct how to manage his treatment.fermicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912496005011895707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-57046950623960349522009-03-11T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-11T11:18:00.000-04:00any updates on Silvio?any updates on Silvio?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319000223773398092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-26259749265759495362009-03-10T14:03:00.000-04:002009-03-10T14:03:00.000-04:00Oh, poor kitty.

The cat situation is frustrating, but I try not to take it out on him.<BR/><BR/>Jeni - ouch. I've had UTIs, but nothing that needed surgery. Just sulfa drugs.<BR/><BR/>LL - pfftphfthphft.<BR/><BR/>Natalie - thanks. The vet gave me a CD with his x-rays on it to give to the other vet he will see next week (for an ultrasound to look for stones). I didn't know what format they'd be in, so I popped it into the computer to check. They were jpgs. Easily postable, and it was Friday, so why not?<BR/><BR/>TheWriteGirl - I couldn't resist posting his x-ray for Friday catblogging and it wasn't too much trouble.<BR/><BR/>dr s - thanks, and I will keep y'all (6 or 7) posted. The vet gave him some pills that are supposed to help reduce irritation and they are also are mildly tranquilizing. Due to both effects, Silvio has seemed more comfortable and more mellow this weekend.fermicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912496005011895707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-67301902447582685992009-03-07T22:59:00.000-05:002009-03-07T22:59:00.000-05:00Best wishes to Silvio - I hope it isn't a stone.Th...Best wishes to Silvio - I hope it isn't a stone.<BR/><BR/>There's seven of us, whether LL cares to admit it or not...dr sardonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198551434246302063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-2893739643693955882009-03-07T17:58:00.000-05:002009-03-07T17:58:00.000-05:00I admire your dedication.
