Re: Lucy has a large bladder stone

[Barbara Lowe]

my vet is off today so can't ask him. have you called another vet just to inquire whether there's any test to determine or why it would not show up in the tests your vet did. Your vet should not balk at a second opinion. unfortunately it's just the costs. I've learned my vet is not totally up to date on all things.(he didn't know about the new felv+-fip vaccine mentioned on here last week, was it? or was it fiv?) Likewise when Jelly roll got sick, I was the one to bring up going to a specialist. the vet at that time I was seeing, was like, oh sure--do that. (but why didn't she suggest it???) My sister also had same problem with a cat not eating wet food. she cooked up that calcium rich chicken broth of frazer's (tho didn't do the end step of bone mashing because bones were still too hard--I've never been able to get that step either--must buy strong chickens....)and her cat actually liked it-good thiing because she hates to cook--so now he eats it and she's tapered off on the broth and he doesn't seem to miss it on the canned food. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@vlists.net Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 10:50 AM Subject: Re: Lucy has a large bladder stone I wish I could get her to eat wet food. She won't at all. I also wish I could figure out definitively what kind of stone she has so I know if I am doing the right thing by doing the struvite dissolution diet. If anyone has any tips of getting a better diagnosis, please let me know.
