I'm sorry to hear this. My Teddi had a LS and had surgery 3 years ago and is perfectly healthy now!! If there is any way you could go to University of Tennessee to have surgery I would highly suggest that. We went there from California and it was wonderful and much much cheaper than having the surgery here in California. Also, have you joined the LS yahoo group? If not I would recommend you join that...they are very very knowledgeable and have lots of answers and support for you! |
I'm happy to hear that surgery can fix this for her, but at the same time wish she didn't need the surgery. Do you know when they're going to schedule her procedure? Sending prayers and hugs for both of you! Hugs, Bonny |
I'm just catching up now with Tink's results. Thankfully, it is operable. I will keep your sweet baby in my prayers. :hug: |
I'm just catching up on results. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, but thankfully it's operable. Please keep us up to date. |
Checking back on Tink's results. Glad to hear it's repairable. Sorry, you have the stress of the cost though. I will be prayers for you and your little sweetie girl. Hugs...XXOOXX |
I am sorry to hear about Tink's LS. I am thankful that it is operable. Sending prayers to Tink for a successful procedure and smooth recovery. And sending hugs and positive money flow thoughts to her mom. Wishing you the best. |
Kathy, I'm sorry I missed this and I'm sorry you're going through this. Sending prayers for Tink and a few for you, too. |
Have they scheduled her surgery? Tink has been in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you both, Bonny |
I will keep Tink in my prayers..and you too Kathy. I know this must be so stressful for you! Just know we're all here for you. |
Sorry I haven't responded to everyone individually as I had planned, I seem to have caught some kind of bug... I have read all the responses though and truly appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers and suggestions.... Update: Felt up to calling the specialist today... I made an appointment for March 7, which is the earliest she could be seen. I am still seriously considering going to Tennesee though, just trying to work out the details. As my vet did give me options, I asked for ballpark amounts on the two surgeries she needs: the LS repair is $2500-4000, and the kidney stone removal is $3000-5000, if done by itself. |
My gosh, I am so sorry about Tink. I hope you can take the advice up here and go to UT. My thoughts are with you and Tink. I hope you feel better soon! |
So there was no indication that kidneys stones were present? Vomiting, pain, bloody urine, frequent UTIs? Is she in any pain/on something for it until surgery? |

These prices seem so high. I don't know what the going rate is, but if UT is significantly less expensive, that is probably the way to go. At least you have an appointment so one step closer to resolution for Tink. I hope she remains stable until then. It might also be worth calling the place on Cape Cod where LittleLily just went with her dog. Do they have any idea if they can remove the kidney stones? |

That's a lot of UTIs, esp. with such high BA. I wonder if it has been in there the whole time. Any urination issues in a pup with high BA really require an ultrasound asap. Ellie has a Hx of UTIs. She had a u/s after we felt like a UTI of hers wasn't clearing up quite right. Now we know (since it was clean) that there is no important medical reason why she had weird peeing behavior). I'd really wonder with her sore abdomen if she is in pain from it. Her u/a clean? |
