Just wanted to update everyone on Lucky's condition, which I'm happy to
report is very positive. He had the surgery on Tuesday and I was able to
bring him that evening. Nice clean incision and much smaller then when
he had surgery 1 1/2 years ago. He was picking at his food initially but
started eating pretty well by yesterday and was really digging into his
hay. This morning when I went to give his meds , he was perched on his
food dish , wheeting and biting on the cage bars to be let out -- I
think he is feeling pretty good!! What a relief to have him back to
almost normal. Now the challenge is to keep him stone free. I'll get an
analysis of the stone in a couple of weeks but I'm assuming it was a
calcium oxalate stone like last time. Thanks to everyone for their moral
support and good wishes.
Merle and Lucky
