Sorry to hear this ferret!
I had to go to ER once with kidney stones right after I had a lithotripsy ( where are they supposedly use shock waves to break up the stone so it can pass easily but all they did was just dislodge it for me I guess). I didn't even know I had it until I had a 'check up' so this was done as a preventative measure to keep it from breaking loose at an inopportune time.
The only thing positive I can say is they warned me as they were giving me some powerful painkiller through my IV and kept saying are you ready here it comes and I said whatever just do it.
Needless to say I was soon out of pain so that was a good thing LOL
Then I got to spend what seemed like weeks but was probably days filtering looking for that stone so they could test it for its mineral content. Evidently not all stones are the same.
I have been drinking mainly bottled water since maybe that's helped?
