He started the antibiotics on Monday and as of Thursday, the bleeding has started again. So I will have to take him back to get the x-ray. I'm just gonna pray that I can get the money soon to take him back and that if it is stones they are very tiny and the bleeding is because he IS passing them. Other than that, this was her only other reason for the blood being in the urnine. I'm praying for my baby to get well soon. |
Hi there. You really must get those xrays to see if your baby has stones. My foster just went though bladder stone surgery after being neglected by her former owner for over a year. She had 4 VERY LARGE stones in her, the largest being about the size of a very large marble, the smallest the size of a jelly bean. She was in constant pain, peeing straight RED blood. If you baby does indeed have stones the only way to get rid of them is surgery, which the surgery would be less pain on the dog than trying to pass them. The cost of the surgery would be the least of my worries. Also yes, apply for a care credit card to pay for it.
They will also need to do bloodwork, as my foster (katie) had a very high white blood cell count, low red cell count, and anemic due to peeing blood. She was on IVs for 2 days before surgery could be performed to clean out all toxins first, and get stable. So you will be paying for overnight stay as well. if you do nothing, your dog will be in very bad pain, and if let intreated could die.
Please let us know an update.
