Really? It sounds so painful, and my heart is aching just thinking about it hehe.
I do not want to cause her any pain. How do they know they are getting the bladder and not something else, is it dangerous? You say that some of your girls are prone to UTI's? Is the symptom blood in urine? I don't get it, Mika's urine analysis last week showed no infection, only inflammation and she had dark blood in urine but it went away for a week and is now back a little bit. Have you experienced this before? (Two weeks prior to the blood in urine she had a boo boo on her two and had a shot of antibiotics, I wonder if that shot masked the infection?) I don't know, I am worried, thinking the worst.
