 Please keep Toby in your thoughts
I haven't posted in a long time (sometimes life just gets in the way) but long story short, Toby has bladder stones and has to have surgery on Monday. X-ray was done today as was the pre-op blood work. Luckily the stones are in his bladder and not his urethra so should be easy to remove as long as they don't creep into his urethra. The vet seems to think they will most likely be struvite stones but won't know until the results come back (and she said that could take up to a month!)
They want him to stay the night Monday but when I found out no one is there from 9 pm to 8 am I said absolutely not and that I will bring him home and take him back to the vet Tuesday morning so she can do the "post op check up." With him being a puppy mill dog there is NO WAY IN HE** he will stay in a crate and be calm regardless of how much medicine he has in his system.
If anyone has had experience with bladder stones and has any advice I'd love to hear it. |
