Oh, I hope it helps!

Henry and Frost look very happy living together. :)

Yeah, finally. The Frostmonster when through a rough adolescence. Very sulky and spent a lot of time yelling, "You're not the boss of me!" and slamming doors.

Henry had his first dose of Celery-flavored Actigall. This is a long-term treatment, but hopefully we will see some results within ten days. Diana says our vet sounds very hopeful.

It would certainly be nice to have a non-surgical option.

I do so hope it works. I can't stand the thought of Grandpa Henry having that stone. Good luck and we'll keep all toes and fingers crossed.

I'm fairly sure it took a couple of months to work on the pig I told you about?

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Dr. Miller said that she wanted to see Henry again in a couple of weeks to see if there was any progress, but that it would take at least a month.

Let's hope it took a couple of months, because they started out with a lower dosage.

I hope Henry shows great progress in 2 weeks!

Poor Henry. I hope for a speedy recovery and that the stone will be gone soon.

I sure hope the Actigall works too. It would be nice to finally have something for all the piggies with stones. Surgery is so hard on them and sometimes not feasible.

You go Henry! We are all rooting for you that this is a success.

I figure this won't still be an option for all pigs. Widget had that stone adhere to the opening of his urethra. And Gilbert had a bunch of other things going on that made his health bad. But it would be really nice if, for the piggies like Henry who are otherwise healthy, there was a non-surgical option.

Henry received his third dose of Actigall last night, and about four hours later, he urinated some really thick grit. He looked like he felt a lot better after it came out. I'm hoping that means that the Actigall is working, and not that he's now producing a lot of sludge, too.

This morning he displayed a monstrous appetite. When Jim took him his lettuce and some critical care, he wolfed it all down, and then snuffled my hand looking for treats.
