    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Glad he is home, even if Cali isn't! I understand that a cat's bladder is about the size of a golf ball? Poor Diego, the rough edges must really have hurt! He'll feel SO much better now.

    How big was the stone, Gayle?

    I hope he behaves with the cone and that Cali can remain cone-free. BEHAVE, babies!

    I'm glad to hear that he's home and that everything went well. I hope that he'll continue to like his new food and will make a speedy recovery.

    Since I'm home and can keep an eye on him Diego is currently napping, cone free, in a cat bed on the couch. He seems to be doing pretty good, but did not want to take the pain meds the vet provided. Cali is still a little hissy but not quite as bad. She's napping on the other end of the couch - so really, it's not that bad!! I bought them a fountain today. Diego is so far afraid of it and Cali loves it.

    Candace the stone was I'd guess about a quarter of an inch across.

    For Oscar's two situations I was given liquid Metacam. I was lucky in that I could squirt it in some wet food and he would eat it all. Do Pill Pockets work for Diego? I know they don't for Oscar! lol

    If he is napping then he sounds comfy to me.

    I got a water fountain too off Freecycle. Oscar uses it. Zoe has no clue what it is. Cole is curious but still clueless about it.

    I hope Diego heals and feels better soon.
