Very sorry to hear about your Hercules, I read all your posts and you were the best mom and nurse to your special guy.
May I ask how the stone was discovered...what were his symptoms?
Once again my condolences.
Thank you, Brandi. The bladder stone was found in a routine exam with x-rays. During the last year he didn't hibernate well, and a few times he seemed agitated, staying awake in the evening and moving around instead of settling to sleep.
Although it has been over a year now, I still don't want to call the vet for the results of the necropsy. Hopefully the vet learned something useful.
