so GOOD to hear the doc didn't think it's something critical!!! *whew* ...

*my* 1st thought would've been bloodwork too, but i've also learned that it's *not* the end-all proof of anything ~ good OR bad, so waiting makes sense ...

that's fantastic that you got that much fluid into her!! sounds like she trusts you ALOT and that's super as well :) ... (i use something to replace lost electrolytes for iZ rather than water/juice tho ... just a thought)

i'd take it as a good sign that the doc wasn't able to palpate her kidneys at all too ... :)

FWIW ~ i agree with Gina about replacing the gut flora ... i give iZ a few cc's of yogurt a day for a few days after he's been on antibiotics ...
have noticed that his stools start getting rather loose otherwise and the yogurt sure seems to remedy that ... (gotta remember to check out the probiotics G. talks about!)

is she eating on her own at all??? *geesh* i hate when they go on a hunger strike and make us worry!!! time to get out all the most favorite foods ... :)

still thinking good thoughts for you both ~ that it's something nice + simple + easy to remedy!!!!!!

and iZ sends Shirley *tongue flix* to feel better!

Bon. + iZ

and i'm sorry, i really am, but i'm LMAO at the thought of iZ having a hysterectomy ... he's ALLLLLLLLLLLL male and tends to show me that on a daily basis (lucky me huh?) ... sorry for giggling ~ just got done watching 3 g-daughters for the day ~ 3yo + under ~ i'm alittle punchy ... his 2nd surgery was to remove a HUGE bladder stone ...
