[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Successful removal of urethral stone

[Ann Evans]

Dear Cavy Slaves and Everyone that gave me advice about removing a stone 
from the urethra,

Our 4.5 year old sow Kinjaroo had a 15mm long by 10mm wide stone in her 
urethra. On the 3rd of December Dr. Frank Bonsack DVM successfully 
removed the stone. Within 15 minutes of him turning off the isoflurane 
anesthetic gas and just flushing the nose cone with oxygen she was 
awake, eating, urinating and defecating normally. Today she is totally 
normal. She is taking 10 mg of Rimadyl twice a day for pain and 0.5ml of 
pediatric Bactrim twice a day to prevent infection.

I assisted at the operation. I will post the details soon for those who 
are interested so that you can educate yourself and your veterinarian if 
you ever face the same situation.

Cheers, Ann and the rescued piggys of Piggyville Tampa Florida USA
