i'm sorry his stones came back. The antibiotics, is it clavamox? that's one of the most common meds that you have to mix with water. if so, you need to mix 14 mls of water with the powder and shake it up. there is also a picture of the bottle with a line on it on the side of the box to help show how much water goes in it. If its amoxi, i believe its 12 mls that go into it, but i could be wrong. we usually don't use that anymore. It should say on the box, unless that's where they put the label over.

the surgery that needs to be done, doesn't exactly remove any parts. he'll still have all his boy parts but a new route will be made so that he doesn't pee out of his penis anymore. the new hole is made kind in between his legs. we've had a yorkie come in recently to have this surgery and he is doing great now. occasionally dogs that have had this surgery will still block but not usually. for this surgery i would have a specialist do it and not the regular vet.

good luck to you and mickey.

we are praying for Mickey ...
all our love is being sent his way!
:getwell:

:eek: Poor little Mickey! I am so sorry he is going through this again. I am praying for him .... hopefully a Christmas miracle. God bless you all!

Awww poor little guy :( That must be so hard for you to watch... praying he has a miraculous recovery.

Poor baby. Prayers are coming.

I am ssorry, poor little guy, praying that the stones will diisolve !

Sending healing prayes of Mickey. I hope he doedn't have to have the surgery.

Hugs.

I mentioned the bottle water to the vet yesterday. He said yes it does help But he will prob still get them.

Yes that is the antibiotic tahts hes on. I called its liquid so they had already mixed it for us.
Im now wondering why he said remove his male parts and turn him into a girl if his male parts dont need removed. Thanks for telling me this. and as for a specialist I cant aford one, heck I cant even aford the reg surgury.I know It makes me a bad mom, and I feel so bad about it.

Mickey's stones last time was calcium oxalateand Ive read and heard theat his UD food cant dissolve them. but his vet says they can, if so then why did he get the stones again? hes been eating the UD food for 6 months.The only way to get rid of the stones I heard is to have them surg removed.

Mickeys acting pretty normal, eating, drinking playing a little.
I had a rough night with Mickey, Makenzie , Minnie and my eye. ill tell you all about my eye in a minute.
I just talked to the vet he said its up to me on what to do next if he gets blocked again....We can do the cathider sp? again , we can do surgury to remove the stones again, or we can do the surgury to leaving the hole.
Theres another member a ady on YT that her dog had this done after having the stone surgury three times. I would really like to talk to her ASAP , But I cant remember her name.


What would you all do ? I need help on this decision.
The cathidar only gives him a instant relief, keeping his bladder from busting. He had this done three times last time. The surgury to remover the stones is so hard on them, and then theres a chance of them coming back again. The theres the surgury to make the hole. I really hate to do this to my baby boy, But I dont want to see him having to go through this surgury again and again.
and what im hoping for is a MIRACLE I believe in prayer and I have been praying, I know theres no way those stones can desolve on their own with just the UD food, if that was the case, He wouldnt even have them now because hes been on that food for 6 months. So if it happens its because God answered my our prayers and gave us a miracle.

Please God hear us pray, heal my little Mickey of these stones and keep him from having to have this surgury again, make him well. amen.

he probably said that because basically he is turning him into a "girl". he's not going to be using his boy parts anymore. the penis will be there for 'decoration' now. i don't think they take anything out, but i could be wrong. I think they just reroute the plumbing. The doctors i work for do this surgery all the time.

Your not a bad mom, you've done so much for him already. ask if you can try a different prescription diet. There is a royal canin one called SO that might be the same as the U/D. I'm not to sure. Also ask about home remedies as well (canberries/apple cider vinegar/etc). Maybe you can call up that nutrionalist that Wylie's Mom spoke with. maybe there is a home diet you can prepare that would be good for stones.

i'm sorry his stones came back. :(

if you do decide for surgery i would just have the "hole" surgery done. removing the stones again isn't going to be enough. they will probably come back again unfortunately.

I am sincerely sorry to hear this about Mickey, my thoughts and prayers will be with you both. I agree, try the bottled water, it's worth a try. But you'll know in your heart what the right thing to do is, for Mickey and you. Just know that you'll have my support throughout this ordeal, again I am terribly heart broken and sad that mickey is not doing well. Hugs...

I'm so sorry to read that Mickey is sick again, prayers coming your way...
