Robin's Saga

[Freedom]

Well this is a shock! Hello Robin, you do look lovely in that photo, all sprawled out.

Sorry to read about all the tests and that. My goodness!

Bichons are prone to crystals, and we try to keep to a safe diet to prevent them from occurring. But those are bladder stones. In the urethra! I can only imagine they started in the bladder and moved.

Purrayers for Robin that all goes along well! Please keep us posted.

Prayers for beautiful Robin! She sure lucked out when she came to live with you...her previous owner might not have noticed anything, although from what I remember, he was not at all unkind.

How odd that nothing dissolves them...though being in the ureter, they don't get soaked in the stuff that would work.

PT Prayers for the surgery, and that Robin will come through with flying colours!

I don't know if this well help any meanwhile, but when Oscar had a few crystals and a UTI several years ago, the vet was okay with me adding about 1/5 of a capsule of cranberry powder to plain unflavoured yogurt, once a day for about a month. Kept the acidity up.

PT Prayers for beautiful Robin. Wonderful that she is feeling great and even getting a little brave!

Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear about Robin. I've only heard of bladder stones too which then have to be removed by surgery. I sure hope that everything will go well with her surgery and that she'll recover quickly and won't ever have this problem again. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

WOW! That is a bit to swollow all of a sudden. I hated reading this about her but glad you shared it with us so we can pray for her. My goodness... I hate this. At lest it sounds like you are getting the best care for her and doing all that can be done and I will pray for her and the doctors to figure it out and to get her over this.. (((((HUGS))) for you and Robin.

She is still such a lovely girl, always such a little princess.
