Hellos, Everybun!
Charlie's checkup yesterday went pretty well. We have a consensus on monitoring that little hernia "situation." All things considered, the surgery would be risky, and she may never need it.
A fresh set of X-rays showed no changes as far as kidney stones are concerned but showed a buildup of urine sludge. Charlie was gracious enough to oblige with a sample that went out to the lab. The sample was cloudy, with a lot of sediment at the bottom.
So, the immediate plan is to make her drink lots and lots of water. We started flavoring the water bowls first with crushed raspberries. This morning, we are trying apple juice flavor. And my hoomin promised to get some pineapple and others. We'll see what sticks.
And she's getting extra water from a feeding syringe.
In other news, my hoomin came down with a cold and feels like a death on a stick. I do not know what the thump that means, but I reckon it's not pleasant. And it is not THAT thing. He made sure to test for it.
The plan is simple: drink plenty of fluids, chillax, and do art.
We'll keep you posted!
