Speaking to [[Margret Dianne Hodgetts|Mum]] and [[Robert Mark Hodgetts|Dad]] this evening about [[Mickey]] and they said the [[Esmie|Esmie]] had [[Gallbladder sludge|gallbladder sludge]] for a 2-3 years until she was eventually diagnosed with [[Cushing's disease|cushing's disease]] (they had been testing for it but she didn't cross the threshold for some time). At around that point she had her [[Gallbladder|gallbladder]] removed. It was an emergency, the vet gave a 50/50 chance of the [[Surgery|surgery]] being a success--what remained of the tubes were apparently very thin and hard to reconnect after.
