We got the results about Jimmy's bladder stones.need some support. Updated 4/20.

[My Peanuts]

Poor Jimmy again. For those of you that don't know, Jimmy has been through a lot in the few months I've had him. The most recent aliment has been bladder stones and blockages which required emergency surgery.

I didn't take the call and the doctor couldn't call me because he had to perform a surgery. He told my brother to have me call him Thursday. Jimmy's stones were sent away to the University of Michigan (I think) and he has been a case study there for the past month. Jimmy's stones are from a hereditary, very rare, protein problem. He cannot digest a certain protein and now HE CAN'T EAT MEAT! My poor poor boy . He’s been through so much and now we have to take away something that makes him happy. No raw hides, treats, or his old food. I have to get his food and treats from the vet now and he has to get his necessary proteins from vegetables now. I feel so bad. I need good vibes, prayers and encouragement. I think if it was one of the other dogs I'd be taking this news better, but my Jimmy has had such a horrible life.

On the other hand, I'm trying to stay positive. Things could have been worse for him, especially if I didn't rescue him.

I’ll know more when I talk to the doctor on Thursday.

Aww, but just think - he'll be feeling much better now on the no-meat diet, poor guy, and I bet you'll soon find a treat he likes just as much. Some dogs looooooooove, for example, the peanut butter Scooby Snacks (right Sherman?). And as someone with food allergies (which is probably similar to his inability to tolerate certain proteins), tell Jimmy I know what it feels like, and his tummy will feel much, much, much better.

Jimmy is very lucky to have someone so caring to look after him. Please give him a big hug and kiss from me. Being on a reistricted diet, if it makes him feel better, isn't such a bad thing.

Aww, Poor Jimmy. I'm sure he'll find something he LOVES though!

[dab_20]

Poor Jimmy. At least you know that he'll feel better. You sure are dedicated to him and are such a kind person, he loves you dearly for that. {{HUGS}}

Molli sends many stay-well kisses Jimmy's way.

Aw, give Jimmy a pat on the head & a kiss from us. poor guy, but you are making progress - narrowing down what's going on. that's good! I've been following your Jimmy threads, and bless you for rescuing him! I couldn't believe how badly he was treated before you came along. He must feel so much better, just being loved and cared for. He knows you are trying to help him, and you will get through this, too.
