FINALLY, Maddie is back to her old self again. The vet said she is just very sensitive to meds and anesthesia (which I can agree with because one time she needed steriods and oh boy did that girl eat and drink up a storm!).
To answer the question of why we thought she had a problem...she was peeing ALL THE TIME. We put a potty pad down at night so she doesn't wake us up and we were noticing that instead of one or two spots, there were 3+ every night. She was even making little puddles on the carpet. We took her to the vet and they tested her pee and she had bacteria in her urine. They sent us home with 7 days of antibiotics. After a week, she still wasn't better and we noticed little orange spots on her potty pad. We took her back to the vet and they said that it could be a couple of different things and suggested an x-ray for bladder stones. They took us in to look at the x-ray and BOOM! I thought I was look at an organ or something because it was a huge white thing in the middle of her tummy and then they said no that was a stone! I was in shock!
So, long story short...a LOT of peeing, accidents, and when she did pee she would squat for a long time. We noticed her peeing more often for a few weeks and just thought she was drinking more. I wish we wouldn't have waited. I would suggest taking your baby in ASAP. I wish we did. Hope everything is ok! |
