Poor kitty. That does not sound right at all. All of my animals are fixed and it's never been an issue. Prayers kitty feels better quick.
Ugh I know. I've been googling and I've read a few things where something similar happened and it ended up being a botched surgery where they accidentally cut a major artery or something and the swelling was from bleeding internally. I'm super worried and its still too early to call them. This is Bonnie's cat
It's so weird, too, because my h was weirdly worried about him going in to get fixed. We literally just had our other cat done in December, no issues, everything was fine. This time all week my h has been saying, "mittens will be okay, right??" And I kept rolling my eyes because OF COURSE he'll be okay, neutering is like nothing. UGH.

Our youngest cat was neutered today, he is about 5 months old. I called the vet to see how he was and when I could pick him up. They said he needs to stay overnight because he is swollen and dripping blood I've had several cats fixed through the years and this has never happened. I hope he is okay Poor Mittens.
No prob! No salt, magnesium supplement, glass of oj per day, enough water so that urine basically has no yellow. I have had stone issues for years, i had a lithotripsy and stent insertion (for hydronephrosis from blockage of scar tissue from previous stones) in early Feb. I had a stone lingering since the lithotripsy but finally passed it last week. I've had the stent in this whole time and it will FINALLY be removed April 12! It's been quite a ride.
Thank you for sharing! The no salt thing would be the most difficult part of it all, for me at least. I had lithotripsy done about 2 years ago for a stone that was pretty large, but in the course of it all we have determined I have a few more stones lingering in each kidney. I've passed a few on my own as well. It's the absolute pits.
Did they ever determine the composition of your stones? Mine are calcium oxilate. Or rather, the ones that have come out and we've caught for testing. I'd imagine what's left in there are similar.
Me too, I love salt! This time I wasn't able to "catch" a sample to test but previous stones were also calcium oxalate. I think there are also certain foods that are supposed to be avoided if you have problems with calcium oxalate stones but I need to look that up.

Thanks! I'm excited to just get out of the house for a few hours per day, lol. And I can take the kids, so that's awesome. And it's a block from my house!
Would you mind sharing your anti kidney stone regimen? I get stones and am curious what they have advised?

I went with black slacks and a sweater and cute black flats and I'm glad I went more casual than a dress, because the 3 people interviewing me were all wearing Capri yoga pants and hoodies anyhow, I got it!! I'll be helping to develop curriculum and working w kids at an after school program. Woo!

My urologist told me to start taking one (as part of an anti kidney stone regimen, along with NO SALT ) but he didn't specify the dosage. I bought one that is 500 mg but it seems like that might be kind of high from what I've read online. I'll call his office to see what they say, just wanted to see if anyone here was taking it.

I am hardcore allergic to hay and if I came home to fucking HAY WALLS I would go apeshit. I remember that episode of TS. Hildy was an idiot. WTF is she up to these days?
Do you have black dress slacks and a button down blouse? Some kind of business casual should be good for an interview for a position that is in a casual work environment.
I don't own ANY slacks anymore! I used to but gained weight. I could get some. I do have button down blouses.

I haven't done this in 11 years. Help! It's a casual work environment, working with kids part-time. I have NO idea what to wear. Are jeans ever appropriate? Probably not, huh? I don't own any business attire. Blah!

I would ask for a different referral. That guy sounds like a douche. My psychiatrist did several tests and had my H and other people in my family fill out a questionnaire (that asked things about my attention span, etc.) and diagnosed me from there.

Buzzed, for sure several times. Never fall down, pass out drunk. A few NYE ago I got super drunk (they were at their grandparents' house for the night) and when I picked them up the next day I was super hungover and had to pull over to puke on the way home. That wasn't fun.
My parents owned a bar and were (still are) big drinkers...I saw them drunk ALL. THE. TIME. I was their DD on many occasions as a teenager. Shit, I am still their DD when we are on vacation or something.

I regulated it pretty hard when C was little. Kid number 3, all candy is fair game. I don't let her have jolly ranchers because those things are little rectangles of death by choking. C has braces so all of her sticky candy goes to her little sisters. And her mom.
OMG Cambria will be so jealous. She is obsessed with Percy Jackson.
yeah, jonah's a superfan, too. has she read the other series yet? the heroes of olympus or kane chronicles or magnus chase? a new apollo one is coming out in april. they're all good!
Yes, she devours all Rick Riordan! She is also really into the Maze Runner books right now.

Booo I just had a lithotripsy and stent insertion at the beginning of Feb and I've had the stent in ever since. Kidney issues are a bitch! The lithotripsy broke my stones up but I still have one small fragment hanging out in there. The stent is in because I had scar tissue from previous stones causing a blockage and hydronephrosis. Good luck with your surgery!

I have no advice, but just wanted to say she's so gorgeous. I love seeing her pics on ig. I'm sorry you're dealing with health issues with her and hope the meds are able to manage it well.
