| You HAVE to take her to get the ultrasound. My foster had bladderstones for over a year and her former owner was in denial. They said she totally acted normal and ate and played (yeah right on the playing part) and they didn't give her the medical attention she needed. when I picked her up she was peeing straight blood. Blood red pee, not pink. She had four large stones that they removed from surgery. They also checked for cancer, thank goodness that came up neg. Katie is 6 yrs old as well. Since the rescue paid for the surgery, I do not know how much it cost, but I can tell you, she was on IVs for 3 days before they could do surgery (white cell count too high, had to flush out her system, and she was anemic), then the surgery itself, then 2 more days at the hospital for observation. So about 7 days worth of hospital stay. I'm going to tell you, it's not going to be cheap, but if you ignore the problem, it will only get worse, and even more expensive to treat, and your girl could even die. Does she have a history of UTI, and was she on any kind of special diet?

Is this guy near you ? http://www.drphilzeltzman.com/Phil_Z...Home_Page.html I get his newsletters and i have emailed him and asked him questions and he emails me back asap and he is in PA is he close to you? You should join for his newsletter and ask him about it. He helped me alot by email when my dd hurt her leg and answered questions I had after seeing 2 bc orthos and 2 vets. I had questions at off times and he was very nice an helped answer them. Last edited by dwerten; 05-19-2010 at 05:42 PM. | |

| email him and ask for a referrence in your area as well but you can email him questions too. He knew the surgeons i consulted with in california as he came from cali I believe so he may know a surgeon in your area if it comes to that. |
