No, she doesn't get it. I can't give her any supplements that alter the ph of her urine right now. She had a struvite stone before, and then, maybe from making it too acidic, she got an ammonia urate stone, which is pretty rare, and we are trying to manage her ph now that the stone was

No, she's acting pretty normal now. Her eyes are still dilated, but hopefully they will go back to normal soon. She can see fine. She's eating, drinking, and wants to know what the big deal is when she tries to jump up on things and I grab her and lift her. If you ask her, she's just fine.

Yes, she did have a pain killer shot. Maybe that was it. She got atropine, which is what they said dilated her eyes-- is that the pain killer or something else? Thanks, Michelle In a message dated 10/24/2005 10:15:58 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Did they

Hi Michelle- When I took two of my cats to be spayed about nine years ago, I took them to a lot cost clinic. One of the reasons it was low cost is because they don't keep the animals overnight after their surgery. I took them home and they were wide-eyed, pupils dilated, and walking around the

I have not taken her temp, and she does not feel overly warm. She is eating and drinking well. She has diarrhea though. The surgery was to remove a very large bladder stone which did not dissolve from the S/D diet and so is probably oxylate ( they are having it analyzed to tell for sure).

I would allow her water and maybe a very small amount of food and just keep an eye on her - it's probably just the drugs - Smoky and Bandit were a bit odd when I brought them home after their snipping. Fortunately, they slept it off for the most part. I don't remember how old Lucy is, but you know
