Hi My Little Yorkie Male Mickey had this major surgery 2 times now with in six months apart. The first time it cost us about 1,400.00 and the second time was much cheaper, but I think it cost more the first time because he kept trying to push the stones back with a cathidor sp? but after 3 times they decided to do xrays plus the lab fees and xrays was all included. Make sure they send his stones off to find out what kind they are so that you will have the right prescription food for those stones. My little boy had the calcium oxalateand stones. he is on U/D prescription food. you also want to make sure they give him pain meds and antibiotics after his surgery, he will need those. a male can not pass stones like a female can the get stuck in the uretha because of the way their penis is shaped. if a female gets a big stone they wont be able to pass it either.
heres the second time my Mickey had his surgery thread.
