Two weekends ago i took my little dog camping. I notice she was
trying to pee frequently. She did that in the past but not that
frequent. The next morning i notice every few steps she was
attempting to pee. then i notice the blood dripping out from under
her. I rushed her to the vet over 100 KM's away. $500 dollars (blood
test and x-rays) the vet discovered she has Stones in her Bladder. He
insisted to cut the stones out. I didn't have the money at the time
to pay for the surgery. He then stated if you change the dog's diet
to help reduce tech stones sizes, they pass through. He also
prescript her 2 weeks worth of Bayril 50 MG (2/day). since that
visit, she has not bleed from urinating. her habits didn't change.
she excises more, i cause this to increase her water intake. She is
as hiper as always. I talked to another vet they also want to perform
surgery. I don't want to cut her open. But do i have a choice? I do
have the funds to pay for he surgery now. 3yr Female Shih Zuo

You can always get a second opinion. Repeat the diagnostic work-up to assess
the bladder. But if the stones are still present - and they probably are but
just not impeding the passageway yet - I would consider the surgery. Ask
yourself, if it were you what would you do?

Man, the way I complain when confronted with
a simple UTI, I can only imagine that I'd be
screaming for a surgical appointment that
day. Ouch!

Crow started showing problems during the winter. She'd go a
few hundred feet down the train, squat, go a few hundred
feet more down the trail, squat, and so on. We stopped
going out because I didn't want the other dogs to learn it
was okay to stop (Jack was getting really annoyed too). And
because she was peeing on snow it was obvious that there was
blood in her urine.
