Got no time for explanations got no time to lose

Piggy's having trouble peeing again. :( He was fine this morning, but by lunchtime he was straining to produce only a few drops. So I called the vet (Easter Sunday - good timing Pig!) and went to the surgery, where he was duly rodded. He was such a brave boy, standing still and not grumbling while a tube was pushed up his willy! The vet couldn't feel anything that might be a stone obstructing him, and got a fair amount of urine (not as much as I thought he needs to pass) to test. It's a bit too alkaline (the usual dalmatian stones form in acid urine) and she couldn't find any crystals in it when the sample was spun and looked at under the microscope. With any luck it's an ordinary infection and the antibiotics and anti-inflammatories we've got will sort it out. But in the meantime the poor fellow's still having problems and is an unhappy little soul. We'll see how he does tomorrow - it won't be life-threatening fora couple of days, and I won't let it go that long - fingers crossed the inflammation will have subsided and he'll produce a flow and be a happy boy again.

I really don't want to have him opened up again.
