Male with bladder stone--need a good vet
I'm glad you received the shilintong! The original plan was for us to use it and the Uricit (or Polycitra) together, but Gilbert just didn't do well with the Uricit so we decided to give that up.
Good luck, little guy!

Thank you for all your well wishes! Mr Capybara is on his way to pick Peppi up from his surgery. They didn't give us any details over the phone, but he was waking up from the anaesthesia when we called, and the vet will let Mr. Capybara know how the surgery went when he gets there. I'm hoping Peppi will have a quick and uneventful recovery like he did after his first surgery. The Critter Berries we ordered from Mad Cat are finally in, and everyone else loved them, so I hope Peppi does too!

Hey guys,
Peppi has been eating and drinking fairly well on his own. We gave him some CC last night, just to be sure. He ate a big pile of veggies this morning, and a Critter Berry. We're also continuing with the Polycitra and shilintong. He seems alert, so I'm hoping this means he will recover even more quickly than last time. Of course we are also giving him Metacam.
The stone was huge. Dr. Voss gave it to us because it looks exactly the same composition as the old stone, which was already analyzed. This thing is about the size of a chick pea. I'll take a picture of it and post it soon, so you can see. I can't believe it got so big in only six weeks! I'm dreading that at this rate something else will form, but we're hoping all the stuff we're giving him will prevent it, and if not that, at least slow the growth of another one.
Thanks again for all the well wishes--they are always very appreciated!

With luck, the shilintong and polycitra will help keep the materials that make up stones from binding with each other and instead flush it all out.
Gilbert and Sully send piggy kisses and good wishes.
