| Bladder Stones I'm new to this Forum so please help me if I'm posting this is the wrong Thread. Anyway, I have a 16 yr old non-spayed Yorkie that this past week started to act like she is in heat. She's had very little bleeding and is having the normal female desires to find a male for a friend. The symptom that is bothering her (& me) is she seems to be in pain & having urine accidents, which she has never done! My neighbor suggested Little Bit go to the Vet & get x-ray(s) for Bladder Stones. I took her to my Vet this past Thursday and she never mentioned Bladder Stones after giving Little Bit a thorough exam but did give her anti-biotics. After two days of the medicine I see a slight improvement in Little Bit but only slight. Should I take Little Bit back to get an x-ray or just trust the Vet's decision that it's just a normal late in life period? Little Bit is eating normally, urinating normal with the exception of the recent accident, she's pooping but she's just not the same & I'm worried. I will take her back to the Vet today for the x-ray to put my worries to rest and to get her on some proper diet. I'm looking for some help with this I'm sure Little Bit is not the first Yorkie to have this health issue. |

| Little Bit Love the name by the way If you took her to the vet and she examined her it suggests she thinks it is just a urinary infection, thus the antibiotics. If she is peeing normally that is good news. As antibiotics take a little time to work and you trust your vet's diagnosis, I would leave it for a few days to let them do their stuff. As your dog is older she may have other health issues, so I would take her back to the vet for more tests if she does not improve soon. Hoping your baby feels better soon. Please let us know how she is doing. |
