Hi guys,
Zivas had some weird healthy issues for a long time. Earlier this year she had a mass in her abdomen that turned out to be a large urate that was stuck. Hard as rock and about the size of the last joint in my thumb (so like 1/2 inch long)
She finally passed it with some meds, daily 30’min soaks, and adjusting her diet.
Both me and her vet couldn’t figure out why this happened. Her blood work was normal, xrays normal (even sent out to a radiologist) and fecal normal.
She gets top of the line care. (Between working for an exotic vet and being an exotic vet tech. She gets the best of the best)
As she’s gotten sick this year she’s gotten picky with her food, and her vision isn’t the best, she has a hard time seeing things if they are not moving.
Now, a few days ago, I felt the same mass in her abdomen starting to form. Fearing the worst once again, I started doing longer daily soaks, adjusted her diet again to help her pass it.
Well today she passed it, all over my bed ?, it was just as big as the last one but not as hard.
Here’s where me and my vet need advice. How do we stop these from forming. Or am I doomed for this to keep happening.
When they start to form I can tell right away because her behavior changes and you can tell she doesn’t feel good.
Now that she’s passed it she’s back to her normal self.
