Winnie and DH

Post by Marty »

This is really kinda meant to be a funny, but I know DH was serious. He has had kidney stones, surgery and lithotropsy twice. I told him about our Vet visit today, and he asked me why they don't just give her diuretics like they do him...and make him pee more often.

Well, I had to stop and think...#1...she is a dog and not a human...#2she may be in kidney failure and you are not.

Totally different situation, but men can be funny. Bless him, he pays for it anyways.

Face it, Marty, men do think differently then us sometimes. I wonder if that applies to male and female dogs?

whoops, reread your post and females don;t have that particular bone.....sorry for the confusion....but with females they can use diuretics but dogs are horizontal animals and the stones gravitate but in the wrong direction.....sorry for the big gross error
