Hi everyone!

Quick update to let you know that Zazu finally pooped. It might not look like it on the picture but the two poops were pretty large. It happened during her afternoon soak after looking slightly hungrier during the day. The first poop was enveloped by a slimy coat but this could have been caused by the psyllium husk that she ate for a few meals. The second poop looked more like their usual ones. Food seemed well processed and there were no traces of blood or anything else that could link it to the surgery. For the record, this is 21 days after the surgery and about 12 days since she started eating normally.

It's now also been 48 hours since her last yellowish urate discharge so hopefully this means that she's recovering from being dehydrated and we'll see her urate back to normal soon.

Thank you very much for all your advise, I'll continue to provide updates as Zazu progresses.
