You're reading about my dog's ureter

Yes, I'll admit it- that title was a clever play on words and sounds. You're welcome. But, this post is very serious.


Last week, Jackie was acting very sick and was squatting in the house. That is weird for our dog, who hasn't pottied in the house in 4 years. She was just acting miserable and would hardly eat (VERY strange behavior for our dog who once ate a whole stick of butter). So, on Saturday Cam took her to the vet who immediately referred him to the doggy emergency room....


...where we found out that Jackie had passed some kidney stones. DID YOU EVEN KNOW DOGS COULD DO THAT?

Me neither.

Cam had brought this THING in that WE THOUGHT Jackie had pooed out (a little pebble which we figured was something that her tummy could not digest)...and it turned out to be a huge pea-sized kidney stone. IT WAS HUGE! I can't imagine it coming out of a human vadge, let alone a little doggy-sized vadge. Poor dog.

So, now she is on antibiotics for her UTI and she has a few more stones to pass.






Hiding head in shame...








Keep her in your prayers or send her good karma- whichever you like to practice.

P.S. I was going to post a picture of the stone but I thought that would be too gross. Just trust me that it's HUGE.
