[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 361030, member: 3444"] GN, they said his kidney function is great because this was caught so early, his pre-op blood work was fine, the urinalysis showed obvious signs of infection, though. They said he should have a good recovery, and yes, they recommended keeping him AND our other cat Whiskers on the special diet to prevent the struvite crystals from forming again. No idea what the cost of this food will be and if there are different brand choices out there. That will be my next research project I suppose! I got to peek at him this morning and he was VERY affectionate when he sniffed my hand and realized who I was (still a little doped up on pain medications). That was nice to see. He gets to come home tomorrow, and then he'll convalesce in my tiled bathroom since he's likely to have some accidents until his bladder muscles recoordinate themselves after recovering from the trauma. They showed me his new "exit" for the urine -- there was very little cutting done -- they did not have to open him up, so that should mean a faster recovery, too. He goes back in two weeks to have stitches removed under anesthesia. I have a credit on the account since they didn't use all the money I paid, so that should cover the follow-up visit. We are all relieved to be over the worst of this and that he'll be home soon! :happy: [/QUOTE]
