This time it's for real~

Melly will have surgery on Wednesday morning.
The prescription diet just didn't cut it. Though the mass of kidney stones looked better on the last x-ray, I think it's just too large to tackle. Perhaps if we had cought it a long time ago.
Poor kitty!
From what I've read, cats are better right after surgery and everyone was glad they went ahead with it.
I hope all goes well!

Poor kitty. My sister has kidney stones and she ended up at the ER two times. She now has to go in and have one broken up so it will pass. She said it hurt worse then giving birth. So you are doing the best thing for your kitty. You don't want her to be pain and she will feel much better after she gets those out.

Hugs,

Sending healing prayers Melly's way. I know about kidney stones myself and I can't imagine being that little and having them. Ouchy! Here's hoping the surgery will help. xxoo

Good luck to your kitty. I'm sure Melly will pull through and make a full recovery. Our little dog has a gall stone that bothers her occasionally. It was caused by feeding her table scraps-the fatty kind. She's been strictly off the french fries for several years now and does much better.

Hello Miss Nikki~ I've come by via Miss Justine....
I adore kitties! I'm sure it'll be a relief to you and Melly when she's feeling better. My kitty (Angel) suffered from crystals (from chronic UTI's) and had surgery too. I'm happy to report that was 15 years ago and she still going strong.

I hope you can stop by sometime. It's always nice meeting new friends.

Sweet wishes,
Sara

Justine said...

Oh, that poor baby! Will the kidney stones come back at some later time? How old is Melly?

Justine :o )
