update on the 2 urinary problem cats.

What exactly do you mean, there's "sand" in the bladder??? I'm lost on this one. Does that mean they're not stone sized, but teeny tiny???

Thankfully it did not show stones (as I expected) but there is an area that "might" be sand.

To be honest, I am uncertain EXACTLY what "sand" is, but all that could be seen on an xray was a bit of shading laying in the bladder area. No stones, per se.

Sometimes I forget to ask the simple things.

As for Biddy, the blood work was terrific! Now we do 10 days of Baytril and retest the urine.

That's what I was asking... what the heck is sand??

Sorry, I really don't know. I guess I forgot to ask.

I would think that sand might mean the early stages of crystals. Maybe smaller crystals than normal.

LOL... I was asking Candace. She quoted me asking about it, and so I quoted her asking her back. I thought maybe she knew.

Hi, Jenn - I requoted Jen(with one n! ) as she had said the scan showed something that LOOKED like or MIGHT be sand.

IF it is, I would guess that one of the crystal dissolving foods would take care of it.

Otherwise - heck, I dunno!
