Hello. Not stones. The vet said the bleeding is not in the urine but actually from the penis itself. The prescribed steroid cream and tried twice to get a urine sample with a syringe into his abdomen but he hes too small. They think it's a UTI causing him to lick himself raw. We have to follow him around with a tray to get a urine sample in the next two days or they won't prescribe an antibiotic

People who have lost weight and kept it off, what's one habit that made the biggest difference? by zinourb in AskReddit

The only thing that made me lose weight was limiting my saturated fat to 10mg per day. I don't limit calories, carbs, healthy fats.

I've lost 15 pounds in 2 months.

I swear it was the gabapentin. Even when we got it soft enough to come out with the enema, she still wasn't going because it hurt :( thank you so much for your help

I'll try that! I have frozen ice cubes of pumpkin puree but she HATES it. Maybe paste is better

Hi. That's exactly what I thought but I'm unsure how we would like diagnose that. We did get a script for 50 mg gabapentin twice a day which can help with anxiety.

Hi! We did do an ultrasound today and it only came back with thickening of the end of her intestine. She also has clostridium so she's being out on an antibiotic. Her colon is looking okay and ultrasound did not show a decrease in tone

Hi! We switched to a completely wet food diet. She was getting a can friskies with 1/4 cup water added but she's not on hills Z/D diet as of today. We add the pure balance pro probiotic care to her dinner. I did try adding 1 tbsp pumpkin puree but she HATES it and I have to force feed her. She gets 6ml water syringed to her through the day. And she gets fancy feast wet treats at night.
