Vets of the OT: Canine bladder stones
Posted on 8/25/17 at 3:57 pm
Posted on 8/25/17 at 3:57 pm
So my 9 y/o pup has a stone stuck in his urethra. The vet immediately stated that he needed an $800 surgery. I went and talked to the vet on base and she mentioned that there should be a urinalysis done and that the stones might be able to be dissolved.
So, my question is, if the stone is already in the urethra, is it still possible to dissolve it?

Dude I just went through this. Get surgery. How would you feel if you had a stone stuck in your dick?
Get that shite out. Then change the diet.

Dissolving takes a while to do.
Stones in urethra are a problem right now - it will be pianful as i'm sure you can imagine
They'll do a hydropulsion type technique to push the stones back into the bladder then likely go in, cut the bladder open and remove them.

The base vet claims that dissolving is rather quick

What do they eat that causes this?

That depends on the composition of the stones.

The kidneys are filtering machines working 24/7/365. They dump unwanted contents from the blood into the urine.
Think about how often your dog has to pee b/c once that bladder is full it's backing up to the kidneys. Once it backs up the bad things that you dont want accumulating in the blood start doing just that. We're talking about accumulation of things that can be deadly. There's a reason people in kidney failure need frequent, expensive treatments like dialysis.

Same here
Once it's in the urethra it's an emergency situation. That base vet is a retard. Take your dog to a real vet now.

Our dog has had 3 surgeries to remove the stones. His 4th surgery, our vet gave him a new peehole (urostomy). He still gets stones, but it's easier now to flush them out with a catheter.
