You can syringe the water if you can't make a vet visit. Are you not set up for subq's at home? I think the liquids would be very important for him with this medicine. Poor Henry!
Does he have pain meds? If not, you can get some along with his subq at the vets.

I tried the syringing of water but he wouldn't participate. I'll give it another try and see if I can get him to drink. Poor guy.
When I came home a little after 8 p.m., Henry was napping, but he looked comfortable. About an hour ago, he was munching on hay (which he hasn't been doing much for a couple of days) and drinking water.
His urine appears clear right now.
After I described the super thick sludge from a few days ago, Dr. Miller wondered if that might have been most of the stone, but we decided not to torture Henry with an x-ray today. He's scheduled to go back on Friday.

Glad your boy is feeling better today. We are all eager to hear about his x-ray. It would be wonderful if the stone actually dissolved! I'm really hoping for this miracle.

Henry just did something really weird.
He refused a Critter Berry.
But I saw him pee, and he pounced on the fresh hay pile.
I wonder what that means?

Our pigs don't give Critter Berries time to go bad. With four pigs getting two a day, they go fast.
He wolfed down everything else we gave him today.
Tomorrow is the big day - he gets his x-ray at 11 to see if the actigall is making any difference.
