[Stones] Spike is a New Stones Patient

[Patti Ciavarelli]

Hi Judi :-)

 

The prednisone is supposed to be for inflammation/pain and as a side effect
it makes you thirsty and hungry.

 

The x-rays showed several large stones, which he passed all or most by
Saturday.  The rest were crystals in I his ureter and kidneys, they said
this might be more painful, but this is ridiculous.  He is just a lump.

 

I feel so bad.

 

Patti

Patti, is he on any pain meds now? He sounds like he is in pain and you
don't have any mention of continued pain meds. Did the vet do radiographs to
see what his kidneys and bladder look like? This is essential. What is the
prednisone for?

 

Finally, my vet told me to give my guinea pig 1 drop (its about 1/3 of a
1/10th of a cc) of Lasix daily to make her drink. It works. Its amazing. She
is peeing and drinking like mad.

 

Poor Spike.

 

Judi L.
