This past Thursday, I took Ozzy back to the vet for his three week check up following his hell week of dealing with bladder stones and two surgeries. The purpose of the visit was to make sure he didn’t still have an infection and to x-ray him again to see if he had any remaining stones.
He came out with flying colors on both accounts. Everything appears back to normal. His appetite is voracious and his activity level is way up. I’m assuming he was somewhat sick for a while, and only when he was completely blocked up, did it finally show. He’s one tough little bastard though. The concern for kidney damage is no longer there, as he was able to process massive amounts of toxins in less than 48 hours. The only difference for him going forward is to keep him on a special food to prevent stones from forming again. He’s not on any special food related to kidneys. I’ve had him for ten years, and while I don’t really expect to have him for another ten, I could easily see him around when I turn forty.
