[Gpdd] HEALTH - Calico Stone

[DebraStory at aol.com]

Hi To All - I took a urine sample in for my sweet Calico today.  Sadly, the 
doctor called me to inform me that Calico had a lot of blood in his urine and 
that he didn't see any sign of infection.  He believes that he has either a 
stone, a cyst or a tumor in his bladder.  I was sincerely hoping that it was only 
a UTI that could be cured with antibiotics.  He wants me to go in for an 
X-Ray on Friday if I choose to. Calico is very run down from his previous URI and 
has lost 5 ounces of weight already. I am not sure if he could survive 
surgery.  I am really hurting and must make a difficult decision.  He said that I may 
want to watch him for a few days and see if he starts to eat better, etc.  
Either way could be risky, however.  Please keep us in your thoughts and 
prayers.  I only hope that I can make the correct decision.  Sad Wheeeeeps, Debra, 
Pumpkin, Peanut, Calico and Snickers
