US Results

Dr P was not about but Dr T was so I requested that Dr T spoke with us about the US results. It seemed that his renal pelvic cavity is not more enlarged which means there is no blockage in his right kidney. However the stones have not decreased in size (only the stones in his right kidneys have become slightly smaller but not the ones in the left kidney). She noted that it is more compatible with calcium oxalate stones. Dr T said there was nothing we could do with these type of stones but rec that we go on with the urinary diet.

We would just have to monitor his condition and he has another US in 6 weeks.

Toro in Hospital

Toro waiting for the nurse at the hospital...
We were the only ones there at 8.00 pm
He was a curious kitty and wanted to know the goings-on outside...

Totoro: What Dat?

Toro in his cubicle at the hoispital...

I brought him to hospital last night and it was very quiet at about 8 pm. I got him settled and stayed a bit to talk to him about the place and the ultra sound that he was going to get the next day. At first he just sat in his carrier but then later, decided to explore and tried to look out. He didn't mew or anything , just sat qietly and looked about. Then when I closed the glass door, he seemed a little anxious but I know the nurses would take good care of him as we had been here before. He was in this very cubicle when he had his urinary catheter. It is a cat's wing. There were two other very quiet cats with him so I know he would not be startled by sudden noises.

I would be bringing him home after work, in the afternoon but would not be able to talk to Dr P as she would be off at aboit 12.00! They said she would call but I had left my cell at home!!!

What his cubicle actually looked like. The nurse gave him some water and they said they would give him his food at 11 pm as his ultra sound was at 9.30 am.

Hospital Oh No!

Not again!

Toro will be going to hospital this evening for his ultra sound tomorrow. Since the ultra sound can only be done in the morning, I have to send him this evening so he has to stay overnight for the test. The ultra sound is to see the state of his kidneys as his last ultra sound saw that both his right kidney and his right pelvic cavity were swollen. He also has a urinary catheter to allow him to pee 2 weeks ago. Also I hope the vet Dr P would be able to discern the type of uroliths he has. So many tests for a little kitty!
