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!
