[Gpdd] HEALTH -- Calico Bleeding

[DebraStory at aol.com]

It is with great sorrow that I must announce that poor Calico has started to 
bleed again.  He just had stone surgery a month ago today.  I haven't noticed 
any blood since his surgery until today.  He was out in the cavy run for floor 
time tonight when I noticed blood on the towels in the run.  I watched 
carefully to be sure it was him, and I noticed him pee blood again.  I am extremely 
upset about this.  Could he possibly have stones again so soon?  I am 
wondering if he has a bladder infection, since his vet did not give him antibiotics 
after his surgery and his bladder was very badly torn up.  He has been getting 
bottled water, timothy pellets, timothy hay and a few select veggies (green and 
red leaf lettuce, green pepper, baby carrot, and occasional romaine).  He has 
also been getting herbal therapy (shilintong and some herbal teas).  I would 
greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions for Calico and also any prayers 
and healing wishes anyone would care to send his way.  I will contact his vet 
on Monday to see what he thinks is happening, but would still appreciate any 
advice or suggestions other slaves might have.  Sad wheeeeeeks from Debra and
