So Bumble went off to see Rachel again as he was pain squeaking big time - he was x-rayed again and his urine spun but no stones and hardly any calcium in the urine,so his preventative treatments for stones seems to be working - his pain is caused by the adhesion's from his previous bladder surgeries - Rachel says he has hardly any bladder wall left - his little bladder is now made up of mostly scar tissue - one of his testicles has also receded upwards and wont come down,but this wont cause any problems .
Bumble can have ultrasound treatment to help loosen the area at a cost of £2 a minute - he will need this 3 times a week - for 1 minute - so £6 but £30 in petrol and 6 hours of driving - so she has shown me how to use a portable ultrasound unit and I have ordered one off Amazon and I can use it on him at home daily - for the cost of £108 I told her that the kids and I will live off smart price noodles for the rest of the month so I can buy this for him - roll on 4th October when his insurance renews - as we have blown over exotic directs £2000 limit this year by £900 - reckon I have the Uk's most expensive guinea pig!
 
Wow, that's dedication for you. I hope Bumble appreciates the sacrifices you are all making. You are so dedicated x

I think I spent over £3500 on Petal's treatment over 3 1/2 years before she passed away, the vet bills soon add up x
