Oops, I did it again!



In case you've never seen how a desert tortoise "expresses" her bladder, here's a photo showing urates (calcium deposits) that have been collecting in my bladder. This is what built up to cause my Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not-sized bladder stone. So it's very good news to see urates getting flushed out of my system. NO MORE BLADDER STONES! NO MORE SURGERY! See how I'm doing my part to prevent that from happening again? An ounce of prevention is surely worth a whole pound of bladder stone!

I am doubly efficient today because I not only expressed my bladder but I did it so neatly in my favorite blue pan!! I just never knew it could be this fun!
