Urologist appointment
After a few days the pain seemed to go away. I made an appointment with a Urologist. He examined the CT scan and confirmed what was going on. He said the stone has just started “it’s journey”. He says he doesn’t know if I’ll be able to pass it or not. It’s very big. I’m not sure what’s going to happen from here. If the stone is made of Calcium they can “blast” it and break it up into small pieces that are passable. If it’s a ureiatic stone, they might be able to dissolve it. If I can’t pass it and they can’t break it up or dissolve it, I don’t know what my other options are.
It has just left the kidney and is in the top of the ureter. The doctor has given me a prescription for Uroxatral, 10mg, to relax the ureter and bladder. Also, he prescribed Dilaudid, 2mg, for pain. I’m to follow up with the urologist in 7 days for another cat scan to monitor the progress of the stone.
Time will tell. For now… I’m living with a “time bomb” in my abdomen.
