My 5 year old pitbull mix just had stone sugary 2 days post op. He has great energies but it right now he’s having some things that he has a lot of pee in the middle of the night and Pee a lot and it’s on our bed 2nd time in a roll and he has never done this to us before. He gets so upset after doing this. Is that normal after sugary ? Is he just getting use to all of it? Is it normal for him to want to pee in the middle of the night so much?

My 11 month old Pit Bull, Brutus, had bladder stones removed 12 days ago. He's been on the prescription food and meds since then. He has yet to be able to produce a full stream urination. The first few days he dribbled, he tries to urinate and nothing comes out. In the morning his bedding is soaked. He's been back to the vet 7 times to get bladder emptied and assessed. When we came out of the Vet's office yesterday, he hiked his leg and tinkled just a bit. All looks good on the X-rays and ultrasound but still not urinating. I'm very concerned. I was sent home with the below meds for the weekend and an appointment on Monday. I'm told that if this doesn't work, I'll have to take him to a specialist 120 miles away.

Hi. I was told my dog had an intestional blockage and needed surgery. I brought him in vomiting bile 6 times in less then 12hours. Hes old with heart conditions but they said it had to be done. They also mentioned he had bladder stones. He made it thru surgery and we were told they moved the blockage along to the colon and it will pass. They didnt cut the intestines. But they cut the bladder and flushed out stones. We are 5 days post surgery and he has not pooped out any obstruction. Can you review my ultrasound for a 2nd opinion? I think they lied to us. I dont see the blockage and no one showed us. He almost died. He just started eating after 5days and it cost us $6300K. Would a hospital actually do something so awful? My gut doesnt feel right about it. Do i need a radiologist to read it? Please advise 😢. Also dr called today to say my dog needs a prescription diet.

My dog is a 8year old miniature dachshund. She is partly paralyzed and has stones. She has to be expressed to empty her bladder so a surgery is not an option. What else can be done? She is on urinary prescription food ever since she got paralyzed. This morning she peed out a stone. Is there any other option for her?

I have a 11 yr old bischon. Very active and sweet. 6 mos ago she was peeing blood. Found out she had stones (4 bigger sizes). Did surgery and now she has them again. Dr is shocked 2 big ones came so fast in a 6 mo. Time. He’s saying surgery again. She’s on no special diet. He gave her antibiotics today but idk what to do. I can’t afford to spend thousands every 6 months. Is that normal to get them that fast and at a large size? Any recommendations? Should I have see a specialist. If so,what kind?

My dog had bladder stone surgery 2 weeks ago. He is peeing but he will sometimes try to go multiple times, like he's straining to go. Is this normal? The surgery center says it's probably bladder spasms. Is this normal 2 weeks out? How long can I expect this to happen. He's been taking all his antibiotics, inflammatory medicine and has switched to Royal Canin SO. I just want to be proactive and make sure there isn't more issues brewing.

Bella’s a 7 year old Schnauzer. About a year ago, (last December) she had a fibrocartilagenous embolism which left her paralyzed from the waist down. I had to empty her bladder by expressing it, and since then she has to wear diapers so she doesn’t pee all over her legs. She had hbot treatments for a couple of weeks, and it seemed like it helped. She regained some of her mobility on her legs but not 100% (she can’t move her tail, and her legs are very stiff). A couple months after, she started peeing more often, more like leaking. I just thought it was the symptoms of the embolism. She was like that for a couple of months, until she started to feel/seem very sick (June). She was throwing up, not eating or drinking, didn’t want to move, didn’t want to go to the bathroom, didn’t poop, and all she did was lay on her bed. Then she started peeing blood, and after finally being able to find a vet that was available (it was a holiday) I took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with an UTI, bladder stones, and severely dehydrated. They gave her IV fluids, an antibiotic shot, and sent us home. They recommender a cystotomy. She was feeling and seem so much better after they gave her fluids. I scheduled her surgery and it happened a week later. During that week, she was passing the stones, as I could see them trapped on her diaper. On her surgery day I brought the passed stones, and on the surgery they said that they didn’t find any stones, she passed them all and that they flushed her bladder. They gave me antibiotics and sent the stones I brought to the lab. The lab results said that bella had struvite stones. The vet recommended a special diet called C/D diet which would prevent any other stones to come back. I bought the food and started giving it to bella. Then 2 months passed (September) and I was at the vet giving bella her annual exam and shots ( rabies, etc.) during the exam, the vet felt her bladder and said that she might have stones. She did an X-ray and yes, she had stones. Bella wasn’t showing any symptoms of it. The vet said to keep giving her the special food and if she started developing symptoms to bring her back. Then we are now in November and she started showing symptoms of her bladder stones. She’s is leaking and peeing more often at home, her urine is dark and has a odor, and she has been passing some stones. I took her to the vet and they did some exams. They did a blood exam, urine exam and culture. Her blood was good, but her urine culture said that she has a staph bacteria infection. The vet thinks her being kind of paralyzed can be the cause of her recurrent UTI and bladder stones. He did some neurological exams and those parts of her body didn’t respond, one of them was an ultrasound of her bladder and when he pussed on it it didn’t moved at all. They recommended another surgery and an maybe look for a neurologist, and to have an urine culture every 3 months. I love Bella so much, but if her bladder is “paralyzed” and is going to need surgery every 6 months to remove stones, then I don’t want to put her through that and make her suffer. I also can’t afford to do more surgeries, and exams as me and my husband just got our pay reduced on our jobs. I am not sure what to do, I love this dog like it’s my own child, but everyone I talk to tells me the same. That she is suffering and that maybe it’s time.

My schnauzer started peeing in the house, but it was more like leaks because it wasn’t much. I thought this was a symptom of her Fibrocartilaginous embolism that happened last December. I started using diapers so she didn’t make a mess. This continued for a couple of months and then she started throwing up, not eating, no energy, didn’t go outside to go to the bathroom and all she did was lay on her bed. She started peeing blood as the diaper was red. Then I took her to the vet and was diagnosed with bladder stones. This was last June (4 months ago.) She had a cystotomy (bladder surgery) to remove the stones. Then the vet recommended she has a special diet “C/D diet” and she’s been in that diet since then. Couple months later, on September I took her to the vet to get her shots and the vet (new vet, I had moved) said she might have felt some stones on her bladder and she did some xrays and the stones were back. They were small, so she said that continue with the diet and hope it would pass. Now, it’s october, and my schnauzer is beginning to show the same symptoms. She is starting to leak pee in the house, she’s been licking her privates more often, and I’ve been using diapers on her so I can get to see her pee, and her pee is now becoming darker and almost a greenish color. I’m hoping she doesn’t have to get another surgery, after only 4 months of her last one. First, because I’m not sure that I can afford it, and second, because if she has another one, does that mean she is going to have surgeries every 4 months to remove the stones? Is there another solution, other than surgery? Or is there another food that is more effective?
