I thank you all for keeping my beloved girl in your thoughts! It helps a lot!

I called my vet this morning, she wanted to sediment Luna's urine for a second time last night. She said that she found some struvite crystals (no surprise actually), but no renal epithelial cells. I hope that is a good sign!!

She suggested to wait for the results of the bacteriological tests, which will be back from the lab by Friday, and then do the ultrasound and bloodwork next week. But she would like to do that under anaesthesia; because Luna will fight and that way, the ultrasound wouldn't turn out well. I can see her point, but I'm not comfortable with the thought though. Luna acted strange after her last sedation in early 2006, and I wouldn't like to put her through that again. I also fear the risks of anaesthesia. On the other hand, I know it will simply be impossible to do the ultrasound and take the blood from her when she's not sedated.

OMG, it's so frustrating!!
