 Stone in bladder?
Hi, our 2 year old yorkie Millie has been having problems peeing the past few months. When we first took her to the vet we thought it was a bladder infection so she went on antibiotics for a month, no improvement.
Second visit our vet did an ultrasound and extracted s sample of her urine from her bladder. We did a culture and found an infection (staphiphtus) and red and white blood cells. Vet prescribed a different antibiotic and after a month she still has the same problem.
After the extraction she had a stronger amount of blood in her urine but it went away after a few weeks.
The next time our vet extracted urine from her bladder vet said Struvite crystals was there.
The next check we were told by our vet he could see a stone in her bladder, which by the way is very small, our vet said her bladder is the size of a jelly bean.
Now we are facing surgery to remove the stone. It is expensive proceedure. Millie has a lot more blood in her urine now that does not go away. Otherwise she acts normal.
Has anyone gone through this before? Any advise? I am considering getting a second opinion. Are there bladder specialist for dogs?
Please help. Thank You. |
