Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

once again, thank you everyone for sending your support, prayers, suggestions!? we appreciate very very much!

i wanted to update folx on herbie's bladder stones....
herbie and i went to see a new vet this past saturday.? there are no new news.? 
basically, she also didnt suggest surgery due to her age.? her advice was: manage the pain.

she prescribed Opt Omega Usana, Tramadol (if she really isnt doing well) and Metacam (which herbie is already on.)
anyone have experiece using any of these drugs?? 

as of now: she is active and eating well.? She is losing weight by the day.? =((? Where is all the food and liquids going?
also, when she painfully urinates, it is dripping; there is no longer a natural squirty flow.?? no blood though.? i guess this is at least one good thing...

sigh...poor herbie... ive also started to give her cranberry juice and shilingtong.

much love to all piggies adn slaves!
poopsies and shweta
