small update I called the vet at noon. i talked to one of the vet techs and she was still waiting to go into surgery. They wanted to make sure her kidneys (or was it liver? i forgot) were all cleaned out first. They told me her stones are pretty large. The Dr will do the surgery today, but they didn't give an exact time. It's almost 5pm here already so hoping they are going to call me soon. *fingers crossed* |

how very nice of you to help her! Hope you can update soon. |
Hope Keichi doing well, and hope they didn't find any stones in the kidneys. Bless you for taking care of this little sweetheart! |
you're an angel for taking in this baby! please keep us posted!!! :) |
How is she doing? |
update The vet said Keichi did really well with the surgery. They said they could not believe the size of the stones they found in her. but said she is like a different dog already! They are still keeping her for one more day bc they are waiting for test results to come back to check to see if there is no cancer in the uterus. i really hope there's no cancer, she's only 3 yrs old! If all is well she will be coming home tomorrow morning (they are open 7 days a week believe it or not). question though... don't they remove the uterus when they spay? the previous owner said she was spayed but who knows. |

Glad to hear she is doing well! That's just scary that someone would lie about their dog being spayed or have the vet lie to them or however it went down! She is in good hands now! Let us know when she is home safe and sound.:) |
I spoke the the state director of YTNR and she said there was something going on with some vets not actually removing the uterus during spay, I guess just the ovaries or cutting the tubes or something like that, so the dogs still had a risk of cancer. :( |
Now that's scary. So Keichi had her tubes tied? I hope the vet gives her a clean bill of health and she can come home. |
No, I meant the YTNR director told me she has known of some vets who have done that, but likely is not the case here (but it has happened). I will ask the vet when i pick her up. I'm sure when they did the surgery they could tell if she was or not. But yes, she is like a new dog they said, she must be so happy, after living with that much pain for so long |
I am so glad Katie did well during surgery & is in no more pain! Hope all else is well with you Sweetie!! You are Adorable! |
I just saw your post. Congratulations on such a beautiful little girl, and thank goodness you found her and got her into the hospital. I am sure she is going to be so happy to be free of that horrible pain. What a wonderful thing you have done for this precious little girl.:thumbup: |
She looks sweet. I hope that she did well in surgery today. |
Priscilla, I forgot to tell you. I have a Kaji approved toy for Keichi. :D I hope she likes it! |
oooh, wonderful! She'll love you forever! She didn't come with many toys, and NONE of them squeaked, and one ball that was so big it was for a dobie or something. Poor girl. She is going to be SO spoiled from now on!!!! |
This plush squeaks, but it's not the normal high pitch squeak. It's a bunny but it sounds almost like a duck! I love it. I'm going to go buy one for Kaji too. He keeps trying to get the "duck bunny". :rolleyes: |
Update! 3 Attachment(s) Keichi is back! You guys would not BELIEVE the size of these stones! There were 4 not 5 but they are huge! Just take a look at the pic. The Dr waited until yesterday evening to do the surgery bc her white blood cell count was way too high, and reds too low and anemic due to all the blood in the pee, so he wanted her to be stable before the procedure. I saw the xrays too and the stones filled up almost the entire bladder, which rubbed up against the wall and caused a growth there. The Dr sent it out to be tested and was negative for cancer. So she is a cone head now, and in 2 weeks we will return to remove the staples. She's so spunky! She's already trying to get the ball and play, but of course I will try to keep for as relaxed as possible. I think I'll order a softee cone for her comfort. Uni's been a good girl and just a little jealous, but no fighting. The only thing is no bath for 2 weeks and she kind of smells already. |
I am glad Katie did so good with her surgery. Bless her heart no wonder she was in such pain. Those stones had to be taking up her whole bladder. She has such a sweet face. I know she feels so much better. |
Oh that poor sweet little dog, I am so glad you have her now and she came thru the surgery. I think the picture of her with the cone and bow is just so darn cute. I wish my dog would wear a bow. Good luck with her, it sounds like she is in good hands now. |
Oh wow, I can't believe that some vets would not remove the uterus, would the dog still experience periods? That seems really dumb, because you'd still have male dogs going nuts. Anyway, I'm so glad she's had the stones removed, is the vet going to test them to see what they are made of? Sometimes they can put them on a diet that reduces the incidence of certain types of stones. |
Bless her little heart, I hope she makes a quick recovery, she is a real sweetie! |
I'm so glad she's home! Her facial expression doesn't seem so sad anymore, and I can see why. Those stones are HUGE!!! They're so tiny and to have something like that inside must have been so painful. Let me know when she's feeling up for a visit so Kaji and I can come for a visit! |
What a kind heart you have! What a blessed little dog Katie is!!! |

I think Biogroom makes a waterless shampoo for dogs... may help till she can get a bath. She sure does look alot happier. Poor baby, having to go over a year with those nasty stones in her! You did good!:D |

Glad she's doing better and I hope they can find a great home for her. From what I've read this is a reoccuring problems, and some dogs start making stones as soon as the old ones are removed. Do you know what the approximate cost of this surgery? We just had a thread on urinating blood, and I think she's hesitating getting help because of fear of the costs. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...rry-juice.html |
I'm glad to hear Keichi is on her way to a full recovery. Because she's with you, things can only get better from here on out :) |
So glad she ended up with you and Uni!! Can't believe the size of those stones!! So happy she is on the mend and doing better already:):):)!! |
