Sunshine is going to have to have another surgery tomorrow.  As you 
know, he began having discomfort over the weekend.  Took him back to the 
vet's this morning and they did an X-ray and found a bladder stone in 
the urethra.  Apparently they could not see it from the angle of the 
previous X-rays.

Although my vet flushed the bladder during surgery (and, if I understand 
it correctly, the water came back through the urethra and penis) to get 
any possible "invisible" stones out of the urethra, a stone remained 
behind.

My vet said (I'd already figured it out) that there is no choice about 
the surgery.

Whew.  Sunshine is also on Baytril, twice a day.

All healing wheeks, good thoughts, and prayers much appreciated.

Cindy
