| Thank you soo much! I'll check back in later and post an update when I get one. Thanx again for your help and support. Not sure what I would have done (a first time dog owner), adopting a dog and not finding this site. It has been truely helpful.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I hope the vet can figure out what is causing the bleeding and get him better. Will the Humane Society be able to do an Xray or help in any way? Just a thought.

| If he has bladder stones, he is going to need surgery. The cost is going to be high...probably around $800, so I would say you better brace yourself.

| This link has a lot of information. It does have a section about medical management, but I have honestly never seen that done successfully. Who knows....maybe it is?? Bladder Stones (Urinary Calculi) in Dogs

Urolithiasis in Dogs when they did urinalysis was ph normal? Were there crystals in the urine and did they spin it down to see if crystals in the urine? Last edited by dwerten; 02-28-2010 at 08:55 AM. | |

| i know juicing zucchini and celery will help and putting pulp and juice on food and only do organic and you can get from whole foods or lassens. The zucchini cleanses the liver and celery cleanses the urinary tract. Many liver disease dog owners do this for their dogs and it is very helpful. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I was just wanting to know if the vet has verified stones, the sooner you have them removed the better. Please let us know how she's doing.

They will also need to do bloodwork, as my foster (katie) had a very high white blood cell count, low red cell count, and anemic due to peeing blood. She was on IVs for 2 days before surgery could be performed to clean out all toxins first, and get stable. So you will be paying for overnight stay as well. if you do nothing, your dog will be in very bad pain, and if let intreated could die. Please let us know an update.

| ok I don't know if the Op has seen my thread, but I'll post these here. IF YOUR DOGGIE HAS STONES, THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO NOTHING! The biggest stone was the size of a huge marble, half the size of a chicken nugget, but flat. The smallest, the size of a regular marble, but like the biggest pearl you've ever seen in your life. Please get your baby some xrays.

| Hoping your baby is ok. I just went through this with my Bitsy. Maybe he needs a stronger antibiotic? If he is still bleeding, something more definately needs to be done. |

| Thank You To EVERYONE... I wanted to post back to give a "THANK YOU" to everyone for all of their "GREAT ADVICE" and "PRAYERS" for my Neko! Unfortunately...I haven't taken him yet for his x-ray. To give an update on him, he is now done with his 10 days of antibiotics and I haven't noticed blood in his urine while taking him outside in 4 days and counting! Not to say that this is the best news, knowing that he still has a problem that hasn't been ruled out yet by x-ray and or further testing. Previously, at the vet, I was told that Neko's urine sample would be taken and that he would be prescribed some antibiotics for the next 10 days. The vet called me the next day saying that the urine tested negative for a UTI and the ph levels were normal also there were no signs of crystals. So she mentioned an x-ray to rule out stones and in the meantime to continue the antibiotics. I have increased Neko's water and changed his food. He is currently (just as he always had been) still eating and drinking well and still very much so ACTIVE and showing us LOVE! I'm not saying that I don't love my dog, but last year my husband lost his job here in MI and my poor little family have been suffering something awful. We've almost lost our home, cars, etc. thanx to the financial struggle. I've applied for the Care Credit Health Care as the Humane Society suggested because they will not pay for anything. I was told that once I took ownership of the dog from them, they are no longer liable for his care, I AM. I figured and it's so..With our financial crises, I was turned down for the Care Credit Card. As for all who wanted me to know how serious the situation is and how much my dog could or could not be in pain/suffering..I know this and for this reason, my family have discussed surrendering Neko back to the Humane Society if we can't come up with money for his care. This will hurt us something awful, but the dog will not have to suffer. So I do understand and "Thanx Again" to everyone who gave that advice. I will continue to borrow rob or steal if I have to..to get my baby taken care of...In the meantime, I'm continuing to pray!

To increase water intake: add low sodium chicken broth to the water, and you can add water/broth to his food. (check with your vet first) I may have been dreaming, but I thought I read somewhere that if the stones are relatively small, an ultrasound can be used to break them up so they can pass naturally. If this is true, this is a very good reason to get that Xray ASAP, as US should be less expensive than surgery.
