My Poor Scruff Is Sick. RE-CHECK UPDATE 2/2/107 PG 3

Tracy, I'm so glad to hear that Scruff is doing much better and that he won't need surgery. Hopefully it wasn't a stone at all but just a UTI.

Well, I took Scruff's urine sample to the vet today. They called me about a half an hour ago with the results. There is bacteria in his urine and some signs of crystals. The crystals can form into stones they said. So Scruff is on an antibiotic called Primor for the bacteria and was put on an all wet food diet. They want me to hydrate him as much as possible so he can push the crystals out. Another urinalysis will be done in ten days to see if everything is gone. If it is not, then he will be switched to a different brand of food that breaks up crystals. Last resort, very last is surgery. But we are going to try everything to avoid that. Let's just hope this works!!
