bladder stone in my 12 week old baby💔

so it wasn’t actually the hard stones you can get, it was like a build up where its formed together and the flush has broken it up and then she will hopefully wee it out herself.. if that makes any sense sorry just trying to remember what they said at the vets but my minds in overdrive!

This is called bladder sludge. ;)
All the best. Please get hold of some Feliway Cat cystease or a similar glucosamine product if you can to help heal all the scratches in the bladder and urethra from the sludge. A little bleeding is not uncommon after stone or sludge removal.

This is the same, just is different brand. As you are already giving it, it should help with the recovery and overall comfort in the coming days and weeks.
 
Yeah it’s great stuff! I had RB Rupert (my white piggy on my avatar) on it after his stone, and my RB cat Rosie who was prone to UTIs, fab stuff! Hope it works well for Della too! :)
How’s she doing today? x
 
just a quick update..
Dellas currently at the vet with her sister as she was being a monkey with taking her firbreplex this morning and had slightly pink wee so just to be safe went in to be on the safe side. going to pick them back up at 3, will let you know whats been said! can’t wait till my babies all better❤️‍🩹

that’s great! what a gorgeous boy he was (sorry, i’m assuming RB means rainbow bridge?🥺) thanks so much! she doesn’t seem to mind it even though her veggies are coated in it!
she seems okay, eating and running about, being a pickle taking her medicine but i’m trying to look at it in a good way thinking if she’s putting up a fight shes not feeling too bad! she did have a bit of pink wee and not being able to give her the fibreplex i thought it would be best to take her in this morning to be on the safe side.. she was still slightly crying when having a wee earlier but it doesn’t seem as bad so touch wood its just where shes a bit sore from the flush! as she was still bleeding yesterday when i collected her they had stopped the pain meds as that could have affected it too so she might be back on painkillers depending how shes gotten on!

Thank you. Yes I lost him a few years ago now, and that when my Luigi moved in to cheer up his lady Jess, he was a lovely boy and was nearly at his 7th bday bless him! ❤️
She sounds like she’s doing great :) Yeah definitely a good sign if she’s being a naughty little monster with her meds and running around! She’ll still be a bit sore of course, with the prodding and poking she got yesterday, and her bladder will still be sore as having sludge can irritate it too. So I’d definitely keep up her pain meds if vets have said to.
Hope you have a good night with her and she’s feeling a bit better :)

update!
i can only apologise for how rubbish i am at updating you all, the days go so fast and its hard to find the time!
so we got the girls back yesterday afternoon after our morning visit to the vet (she had pinkish wee so thought it was best to get her seen early! and we couldn’t give her the fibreplex🙈) the vets kept them in to monitor Della and get a hold of our exotic vet who was on call but not in.. they said the girls where well behaved and della was very good taking her medicine😊 if only she was for me!😅 we have been told it’s normal for pinkish wee for a few days because of the flush and have been given some inflacam to give her once a day, carrying on with the antibiotics, cystophan, fibreplex and eye drops for the hay poke she also had bless her! the vet has also said her eye is looking better though which is great! Della in herself seems to be doing well, eating, running around and actually if anything they both seem more confident and are coming out more than before! starting to trust a big scary hand in the cage and walk up to it for a quick sniff and nibble of my finger lol😋 Luna bless her seems to be more supportive, shes not nipping at her as much, following Della around, nibbling her ears and grooming her, trying to watch her through the bars of the cage and shes even let Della sleep in HER hidey.. when i go to get Della out Luna runs over to try and stand in front of her and protect her almost, its been really sweet to watch and i’m so proud of both my girls🥹 we have another appointment on monday with the exotic vet again just to make sure everything is okay, again i will let you know how that goes!

just want to say a huge thankyou to you all for your kind words, love and support, i am so glad i’ve found this forum and so grateful for every one of you!🥰 would really be lost if it wasn’t for TGPF!
 
so planning on keeping my girl della on cystophan for a few months following her bladder stone but wondering if cystease is better rated over cystophan? vet said i can use either so just looking for what the best one is to choose or if i should just keep her on the cystophan as that’s what shes been on?
thanks!
 
I always used to use cystease purely as it was easier for me to source but cystophan and cystease are the same thing so it comes down to personal choice
okay thankyou! so theres not really one thats better than the other? the cystease was slightly cheaper but i didn’t want to swap from the cystophan if it would cause problems?

neither contain probotics do they, my vet said there was another one that i should avoid but i can’t remember what it was called!
 
just seen that cystophan is chicken flavoured?! i wonder if the one from the vet was too.. is this really okay for piggies?!
 
think i’ll probably go for the cystease as long as changing from the cystophan won’t be a problem!
 
I just give my bladder pigs cystease as it’s easily available from Amazon.
yep think i’m going to order a few tubs of capsules, they are slightly cheaper then the others and if they are essentially the same that means more money for veggies and carrot houses!😆

Hi

They are just different brand names of exactly the same, so just go for the one you can get hold of more easily. There is no difference in effectiveness.
