Well I dont recall last time I updated yas. So he had xrays,determined he has stones,but the crystals were gone from his urine. He was put back on antibiotics for the stones for 20 days. He is halfway thru that. Well last night he was fine and all but then started acting funny. Very odd stance. Like he was straining. He did manage to go poo on my moms bed. He got off the bed,laid on the floor and just starting crying. So dad and I rushed to the evet. They said he was blocked,the stone was prolly trying to come out but blocked him up. They kept him overnight. They thought the stone passed,but it didnt,just got pushed back up into his bladder. Right now he is stable,has a catheter and iv fluids,not sure what else.
So they gave us three options. One surgery asap two keep overnight,ultrasound,then surgery,three take out catheter,make sure he is peeing on his own,bring him home hope the regular vet will take him in tomorrow for surgery there. Could be matter of hours or days she said for the stone to block him up again. If hours,then right back to the evet and surgery.
Money is an issue but not at the same time. We want to do whats best for him. I know evets charge ya out the wazoo for everything. Not sure what regular vet would charge for this same thing. Right now at evet we looking at an additional 1500-3000 for surgery ontop of 900 for his care overnight.
So jsut wondering what yall would do. We are kinda going with just do it rather than hope it doesnt come back in a few hours and have to rush him back there.Cant really go on with well it might not come back for a few days. Cause what if it doesnt hold off that long. Plus ya dunno if the regular vet can take him in asap either. I left a message obviously not there on sundays. Dunno if they gonna call back or not. So mom and dad are off to the bank before they close,and they are closed tomorrow. Then call the evet with our decision.
Whatchas think? The price is like way ouchies but if he needs asap,then he needs it right? Kinda cruel to bring him home and hope he doesnt have a problem overnight. So i dunno. I mean i think we do but,ya know. Thoughts?
Thanks!
