    Initial report: kidney stone and a cyst on her kidney Will know more later. This doc is so non-responsive and I've just been crazy busy with work and my own health things going on. Nothing serious for me, just many medical appointments right now.

    Update

    Well the vet finally called and I could actually talk to her. Mitzi has a cyst on her right kidney and a stone in her left kidney. Neither are causing any blockage right now. No surgery to remove the cyst - just a change in Mitzi's diet and regular monitoring of her kidney function. She seems to be ok for now, at least we know what's going on and what to watch for.

    I also scheduled a teeth cleaning for her with another vet who will do it in a safer environment, without anesthesia. It won't be until the end of March, but I think I'll be more able to handle it both physically and financially by then - it's also MUCH cheaper than what this vet charges.

    Yes, that is good news. Prayers going up that Mitzi will start feeling better right away and will stay that way.
    Blessings,
