Don't mean to sound ugly but so nice to talk to someone with a yorkie that has had this problem. Maybe so it is definate that an ultrasound can pick up the clear stones? My vet said that they next step (since we saw nothing in the xray) is to catherize him and expand his bladder to look for stones or bypass that and get an ultrasound. I know there is something wrong with him because he is urinating in his kennel...he never has done that before. But the vet thought his bladder was inflammed so she put him on steroids which made him pee pee more. Now he has been off the steroids for a week and is still pee pee in his kennel. She asked me if he was straining when he went pee but I never noticed before. Today we went for a walk and he urinated fine when we left the house. When we got back (which was only 15min walk) he went again...I looked real close (the neighbors prob think I'm sick) and he lifted his leg for a while and one little drop came out. I think he definately has a stone they just cannot find it. This has been on going for the past month and this weekend he really has been feeling bad...i can tell he is just not the same dog. And I'm so frustrated because they cannot tell me what is wrong with him. Vet was not in today so I am calling her tomorrow. |
