Dollie was initially prescribed a course of antibiotics, but unfortunately, there wasn\u2019t any improvement in her symptoms. As a result, further investigation was undertaken.<\/p>\n<p>On examination, they could feel some hard structures within her stomach. To confirm her suspicions, Dollie had an abdominal ultrasound which revealed several stones sat within the bladder.<\/p>\n<p>Dollie was booked in for surgery the following day with Madeleine one of our Veterinary Surgeons. Before operating, Dollie had a quick x-ray to check how many stones there were in her bladder, which revealed there was a total of four. The stones were surgically removed under general anaesthetic, and while operating, her bladder was flushed out with saline to ensure no smaller stones were left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Dollie has made a full recovery, and returned home the same day as her operation &#8211; back to her usual happy self within a few days with no symptoms!<\/p>\n<p>The stones found were sent away for analysis to out what components they were made of. This allowed us to come up with a treatment plan for her to reduce any more stones forming in the future.<\/p>\n<p>There are several different types of crystals that can form stones in the urinary tract of cats and dogs, and depending on what they are; there may be changes to the diet that we need to address.
