Double Damnation

Perl on Health - Wed, November 11 2009

Okay, my bladder infection is back ... in truth, it never went away.

I got sick last night, vomiting six times. Also, at one point, I lost control of my bladder and urinated on the towel/blanket thingy in my cage. It had blood.

So I went to the vet's today. They found crystals in my urine, then they did an x-ray. I have a bladder about the size of a tea cup; in it is a bladder stone the size of the end of an adult human's thumb. So Friday morning I'm going in for surgery.

Man, all I want is a little health. And apparently that's all I got, a little. Hmph.

Oh Perl...we are worried about you. We sure hope things turn out okay.
We will say some beagle prayers for you.

Does this mean no more biscuits?

Oh, Perl. We'll be thinking about you and keeping our paws crossed here at Hopps House. Mama and daddy will help with the puppy prayers, too. They sure know how scared they get when I'm sick. Hope the surgery takes care of the problem and you get back to optimal beagle health soon.

Perl, I love it that your people freak out and take you to the vet to do whatever necessary to keep you in one piece. I soooo well remember childhood comments like, "It's just a dog. Either it gets better or it don't." And a lot of times our dogs didn't get better. You are a lucky one. KIM

Well, that sucks! The Beagle Queen should never have to suffer such sickness. All of us girls are thinking of you and sending good vibes your way, Perl. We hope you feel better soon, and get a lot of extra attention and treats for all this!

You're not supposed to have a bladder that small! AND with a rock in it?! I hope everything goes well with your surgery. I'm sure that it will, it's my mama's birthday Friday!!

Oh Beagle Queen, I hope you emerge from surgery feeling much better! Promise to bark about your progress.

I hope everything goes well and that you have a quick recovery. My health has been bad lately and it's horrible that any of us animals have to go through it. I hope you'll feel much better very soon.

Paws crossed that all goes well on Friday. Having surgery is no fun but you can score tons of love and attention.

Perl,good luck Friday. We'll say our prayers for you that things come out okay. And maybe that stone will turn out to be a diamond you can add to your helmet.

Beagle prayers being said for you Pearl. My brother said he'd add a Corgi prayer too.

Aw, Perl. I'm so sorry you feel bad. Like Kim said, thank goodness for your attentive and caring parents who will do anything to make you better.
