YorkieTalk Newbie! | Bladder stone. Please help! Hello, I hope someone can help me. My 2 years old girl has a big stone in her bladder (as big as a pinkie nail). I took her to the vet (Irvine Veterinary Services) and the doctor said she needs to be operated as soon as possible, he gave me an estimate of more than $2200. I am out of a job right now, and cannot afford this price! The price is comprehensive of the cystotomy, anesthesia, hospitalization etc. I live in Laguna Hills, Orange County, California and I was hoping to get some advice, ideas, comments or any possible help to take care of my baby. She is in pain and she needs help fast. If you know of any low income clinic or animal society in Orange County CA. or can help me in any way I would be eternally grateful. She has not been spayed, and I would like her to have babies one day, at least once. Most of the organization that may be able to help want me to spay her, but I wish not to do that, not yet. Can anyone help me? Can you suggest me what to do? Thank you all so much. I will appreciate all the input I can get. Gilda |

| Honey, this is serious and she could DIE ~ Honestly, I wouldn't be concerned about her having pups, the MOST important thing would be to get her the needed surgery and if that means she has to be spayed, they so be it. It is your responsiblity to ensure her safety, please do not be selfish and pass up an opportunity to make her healthy bc you don't want her to be spayed... Besides, how do you know she is free from any other life threatening genetic defects that she could be carring and pass onto off spring Have you tried Care Credit? Payment plans??? |

| Have you tried another vet? I've had to have bladder stones removed from two Yorkies, one male (this week) and one female (4 to 5 years ago) and the cost was much less than $2200. The male even had to stay at the vets on an IV for two days and the bill was less than $800. The condition is nothing to mess with, but I'd get a couple of opinions from some other vets.
