x-ray shows NO MORE STONES!!!!!!

YAY + WHEW

: (... tho i was pretty sure there was no physical way for any more to actually FIT in his bladder ... )

: iZ did *not* wanna go today!! he got in the pet carrier willingly enough and THEN it dawned on him ~ "oh oh ~ hey wait a minute!" + got a bit stressed ... he *did* relax when he saw *which* vet we were at cuz he knows he doesn't ever have to *stay* at Dr. Castro's place ... he is always sooooo good at the vet's! as long as i hold him or when he has to sit on the table, i have to have my hand on his cheek + keep up a steady stream of conversation so he knows i'm there (cuz his eyes are SHUT) ~ then he's sooo brave!!! he couldn't get back into the pet carrier fast enough tho! he lept from my arms into it + bobbed at me "Let's GO!!!"

: he's on oral Baytril for about 2 wks as a precautionary measure cuz i KNOW that stone tore some tissue on it's way out! baaaaaaaaad humommy didn't even think to get tablet form Baytril ... *heavy sigh* ... 1.5cc of something that smells suspiciously like 180 proof vodka is NOT something iZ wants to put in his mouth! i tried telling him it's ALOT better than having shots every day but he still hates it ... (but he *does* take it! he blows my mind ...)

: he weighed in on the vet's scale and is *offically* 11.5 pounds!!! i'm actually surprised that he didn't drop *any* weight this past month ... his appetite is still way down compared to what it was but it's slowly picking up ...

: we don't *think* there should be any future problems with bladder stones since both times they were caused by the sutures and those should be all dissolved by now ... he's still on his strict diet regime and all of that good stuff for his kidneys ... gonna have x-rays done in 3 months to MAKE SURE there isn't another stone forming ... but for now ~ it looks like smooth sailing for a while anyway ... *knock on wood* ...

: iZ + i both thank all of you for all of the positive vibes, etc that you sent! they worked!!! (+ i'm sure the thought of Vega$ in the shower didn't hurt!!!)

: hugs + headbobobobs
: Bon. + iZ
