The vet did not find anything wrong with audrey's urine, so he then took an x-ray to look for bladder stones.  None were found.  Because she's been on anti-biotics and steroids for a while, it seems unlikely that it's treatable by them.  The bladder seems ok to him at the moment.

He proposed a "cutting-edge" theory.  Seratonin build-up!  Apparently ( Read more... )

It has been a while since Audrey had her initial exam where liver inflammation was found.  Just before the follow-up, she exhibited signs of a urinary problem - frequent litterbox visits with no production, mostly.  The vet thought it would be best to keep her on the antibiotics and steroids for the time being because the liver levels were not ( Read more... )

As some of you may know, in the 5th grade, I broke my right leg while showing off on a bicycle in my father's driveway.  I was in a cast for 6 months.  Since then I've only ridden a bicycle once or twice, no later than high school.

I have been committed to the idea of buying a bicycle lately.  Many things are within "biking distance" and I could ( Read more... )
