[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks so much, purrrayer pups, I needed that.

We just left and we left her there for more tests, and if we decide to do the surgery, we won't see her again until Sunday at the earliest.

But I know she's in good hands - the surgeons and otherwise.

Will keep you updated.......

Prayers on the way from me too!!!

Prayers and good wishes from all of us for dear Robin!

[Catty1]

Prayers for Robin! Is there a chance they won't have to do the surgery and can help her some other way? Or is it the normal pre-op tests?

hugs and prayers!

[Freckles]

Lot's of good wishes for Robin.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thank you all sooo much!

So, turns out - after extensive testing - Robin is completely healthy in every way except she happens to have stones in her ureters. They are not affecting her physically in anyway - her kidneys are completely healthy and don't even show signs of early kidney failure which might be present in a kitty her age. So we need to watch her and we if we notice any signs of ureter blockage, we need to get her to the vet ASAP. We need to watch her for signs of UTI. We need to try to get her to eat more of her special wet food - which she really doesn't like, and we need to give her as many smoochies and tummy times as we can possibly fit into our schedules! Oh, and it's highly likely she's had these stones for a long time now and they just came to light because of the UTI she got, so hopefully they will continue to be no problem like they have been for these past three years.

We were just so relieved when we heard the news, and I knew it was all the PT prayers that made it all turn out so well - thank you!

We were very impressed with the ISU VMC (Iowa State University Veterinary Medical....college(?)). They were all so nice, professional and compassionate, and their prices weren't anymore than the vet in California. We're glad they're close - for now - and I really wish I could pack them in my suitcase and take them along when we leave here in the fall.

Thank you all again - you're the best!

WONDERFUL news! Let the tummy rubs and lovins begin!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Debbie, this is wonderful news. Hopefully Robin will continue to do well so she won't ever need any type of surgery. Now let the tummy rubs begin.

[Queen of Poop]

Excellent news! Hugs for you and Robin.

[Pinot's Mom]

Such great news! Extended tummy rubs sent to Robin and {{{hugs}}} all 'round!

[Laura's Babies]

I am so glad this has a happy outcome! Robin is such a lovely little girl and I am SO happy for all of you!

[Randi]

Sorry I'm late... but I'm so glad to read the news. Those stones Robin has, is there any way to dissolve them or make them pass?

I hope she will start eating more of that special diet you have for her - which one is it?

Please give her lots smoochies and tummy rubs from me.
