His x-rays were fine -- no evidence of stones (of course, it cost us $80 just for the x-rays alone, egad!), no signs of blockage whatsoever. Whew! He did have blood in his urine, indicating another UTI, so even though he was just on a 10-day course of Clavamox 2-1/2 weeks ago, he's back on it again. He's also got some Metacam (a 3-day course, with an extra syringe for when he shows signs of a flare). We're going to continue the Cosequin but drop the anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds -- we just don't feel these are causative factors for Levi's symptoms (he's been on them continuously for six months with no real shift in habits/symptoms -- if we had been able to discern improvement whilst on them, we'd be more than happy to continue). In a nutshell, we're kind of back to square one in regard to managing his symptoms overall, but at least we've eliminated a few more serious medical concerns. We will probably switch his food to the Royal Canin Urinary -- my hubby forgot to ask about it when picking Levi up but I think it's a splendid plan. All in all, I'm simply glad to have my boy home and I'm looking forward to (hopefully!) several flare-free weeks...wouldn't it be nice if he could have a few flare-free months?!
Thanks again for all the well wishes :)
