Hi Traci - Karma is doing well. I'm watching her water intake and she seems to be drinking fine now. I still can't believe she has taken to wet food. But I'm grateful for that. I plan to keep her on the Hills prescription as advised. do you think it matters what flavor? Her original vet gave us the ...

Traci - to confirm... the injections Karma got - was thru the catheter in arm...
i was confused w/this myself, but figured it out today. I was thinking of the cateter you get when a human is going in for surgery...
duhhh!
I believe all her meds were thru IV.

Yes, she is eating! I can't believe it. :D Yayyyyyy! She is actually starting eating some wet food while there yesterday, they called it "maintenance" food. The vet sent me home with Hills, c/d, multicare. Same as last vet suggested and a bag of the dry version this time too. Poor thing wa...

Hi Traci - update on Karma: I can bring her home tonight. she is doing better, after two days of fluids and antibiotic...the Dr. will do another x-ray today to see stone status.

Hi - yes, I got the Clavamox in liquid form yesterday and tried to get some in her last night, some went in. I think that was made her a littel sick. I will be in touch w/her other vet today, she orginally wanted to see her tomorrow for followup...but she seems to be not getting back to my phone cal...

Hi - wanted to give you an update. I am really torn as to what to do - still! Karma's stone has not moved much and is still logged in her uterer. Apparently, she is not in intense pain lately, but still refuses to eat but drinks some water and still urinates. I took her to emergency vets this moring...

Hi Traci - thanks for emailing me. yes its pill form. I will call the vet first thing in morning. They are closed today. I did call the emerg. vets today, which we were at - and they do have it in liquid, but i'm waiting to talk w/my vets in morning...She only gagged a little last night - later on a...

thanks so much. I will watch her today. She actually has some energy, but not much and is still pretty alert. do you think forcing the pills down will harm her?

thanks again,
Beth
