[Stones] Spike is a New Stones Patient

[Patti Ciavarelli]

What's funny is that he seemed to pass the bladder stones easily, no crying
or blood, the blood started the next day and while the vet noted it, it
seemed in keeping with what she expected.

 

I really have a loot of respect for those that rescue so many ill piggies.
This is so much work and each step I fear that I am hurting rather than
helping.

I wonder what other people will say about the prednisone vs. metoclopramide
for pain. Let me find out from my vet, too. 

 

Crystals in the kidneys and ureters can be quite painful, too. I think he is
in pain. How on earth did he pass those stones? That must have hurt. Maybe
he's got sores in his urethra from that.

Hi Judi :-)

 

The prednisone is supposed to be for inflammation/pain and as a side effect
it makes you thirsty and hungry.

 

The x-rays showed several large stones, which he passed all or most by
Saturday.  The rest were crystals in I his ureter and kidneys, they said
this might be more painful, but this is ridiculous.  He is just a lump.

 

I feel so bad.
