Kobe had kidney stones about 3 yrs ago. He was at the vets for a couple of days. They had to insert a catheter in him so that the stones could get thru. That is when we found out that he had a liver shunt problem. Luckily his is not severe and has been controlled thru his diet.

My baby Remmy just had surgery for bladder stones about 2 months ago. His were actually in his uretha but he was not blocked and still able to pee. I am worried to death that he will get them again. he is on Hill C/D prescription food. Remmy was back to his normal self in about a months time. He was put on sedatives after surgery to keep him still and calm. He had to wear his collar for 2 weeks because I was concerned that he would mess with his stitches.

My 3 year old Tucker had surgery for this about 2 years ago, he did well- don't be worried. He had many other medical problems also, including a large liver shunt, so I'm sure your baby will be fine!

Cali was at the ER vet today because she has been on medicine for an urinary Tract Infection and seemed to be getting worse. Very lethargic and will not jump up on her stairs. They did an ukrasound of her bladder and kidneys but didn't find any. She said she did a rectal do see if there were any hiding in her urethra. They didn't see any. I asked if it could be due to her Liver shunt problem and they don't think so. She saod that they can tell by the type of stone whether it is related to LS. She said LS stones are usually ammonia something. They are culturing hre urine and did blood work. Do thye know what type Brittany's is, had she been diagnosed with LS. I wil keep her in my prayers for a quick recovery. Can I ask what her symptoms were and how they diagnosed it.

Never had the problem with mine, but I got the chance to watch a bladder stone surgery years ago. The stone was the size of an egg. I cannot remember the breed of dog it was (maybe a mixed) but the dog was a little larger than a yorkie but smaller than a cocker.

Actual surgery time didn't take longer than an hour and the dog went home the next day.

Hugs coming your way!

i cried when i dropped Remmy off...i was very emotional to know that they were going to be cutting him open. But he is fine now but I am so worried that he will get them again. It took his vet 4months to diagnois the stones because they failed to do a simple catheterization with dye. Some stones are not visible with an xray. He does not drink alot of water and at times I have had to syringe water into his mouth to make sure he is getting enough. But the surgery was a breeze compared to everything else. Good Luck and let us know how your baby is doing.

Glad Brittany did okay. Max has had bladder stone surgery twice. He got along fine. It is hard leaving them there, isn't it. Since he has been on the C/D prescription diet, he hasn't had any more problems so far and it has been a year since his last surgery.
