[Gpdd] Health, Cathy's piggy's bladder stones

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Dear Cathy,
     I read, with pain, of your little GP's sufferings from bits of stones in 
the urethra. Someone may have a suggestion (tho boars are more difficult to 
treat than sows given the difference in length of urethras) that will be truly 
beneficial. 
     But your guy is terribly young for stones. (My little Ebeneezer 
WoollyBear was put to sleep approximately 3 months of shy of his 2nd birthday -- 
bladder stone.) Right now I am dealing with Mr. Cooders and his newly discovered 
(thru the presence of blood) bladder stone. He MAY last for a while with his 
tretment but only because the stone is too big to get into urethra.
     My heart breaks for you and your precious little guy. I know to well of 
the straining, the crying, the bleeding.
     Unless someone quickly sends you a miracle cure I'd ease his pain in the 
only way I know --- have him put to sleep. Also,if you have to go that route, 
death by a gentle overdose a anesthesia is good. Other than that, I recommend 
a seditive prior to the "lethal injection."

May God help your little one and guide you, 
Alge
