Yeah - I think 2 hours under the gas really messed him up. I mean it's great that the renegade vet was willing to do it, but like Vicki said - then you're on your own and they don't tell you about aftercare and what it might involve.

Funny thing I've noticed the last two days is that after Rocco pees, he pushes out his penis and gives it a bite/lick. (gross.) I hope that doesn't indicate that there's another stone on the way...

He's still peeing like a madman.

He may be biting at his wee wee cuz it feels different after all it's been through. I'm glad he is doing better...you have done an AWESOME job with him :)

I'm so glad he's still on the mend! I got worried there when there were no new posts. You've done a great job...Rocco's lucky to have you:D

How very nice of you to ask.

Rocco is doing fantastic!!!! All back to normal it seems. Getting his AC daily on a cup of goat chow...as is his brother.

Whew! Hope to never hear him screaming in pain like that again.

The vet bill however, has me screaming!

That's great! Whew! You did such a good job pulling him through this :)
