Thanks for asking after Patrick, he's home and is a lot better. He has a small cluster of stones, I think I counted 4 they are between 1-2mm in size so tiny.

Urine has been sent to the lab to culture, we are also going to check antibiotic resistance. Here's hoping something grows and we find a suitable antibiotic.

I'm hoping he may pass them, funnily enough I was speaking to a man today that has passed a bladder stone today. Not a good story but he's fine now, so Patrick could pass them of course we do have to be careful he doesn't get blocked.

The risk is high with boys that they'll get lodged due to the urethra being much narrower and longer. You might want to try eurologist or/and allrodin to see if they dissolve the stones.

He'll need to be watched 24/7 in case they do get stuck. We're just very lucky that Scruffles has a very flexible and short urethra. Not that it stops her harbouring them in there :/

Yes I know I am quite concerned about the situation, we will just need to see how it goes. I'll just need to not have a life for a while LOL! xx
