[Gpdd] HEALTH: Sunshine is home!

[Cindy]

I am so happy and relieved to tell you that Sunshine is home following 
his bladderstone surgery!  My vet said he did well with the anesthesia 
and during the surgery.  On the way home, he began to eat some cucumber, 
a piece of cilantro, and then lots of hay.  He ate hay for about an 
hour.  He is now resting quietly in his house.

The stone was larger than a BB.  It will be sent off for analysis, so we 
should know something in a couple of weeks.  I am slowly changing his 
diet (and everypig's), hoping to prevent future bladderstones.  If 
anyone has any diet tips, I would love to hear them. 

My vet also flushed Sunshine's bladder but fortunately did not find any 
other stones.

Thanks so much for everyone for the healing wheeks, prayers, and good 
thoughts!
