That's a uric crystal, Lori. What you describe happening is exactly what I hoped for. The second 'hard lump' might need to be teased out in the same way... keep an eye on it as it moves down Miriam's' body, as it nears the vent repeat tonight's exercise. I suspect that the dehydration started before not since the formation of this stone, dehydration can often be a contributory factor in this kind of thing. Good work getting it out. Was the mega poo a surprise? I should have warned you!

Of course you should know.... you probably saved her life tonight. Well done you!
