Long story short, my dog was pissing blood. Took him to the vet and the X-ray shows that he has bladder stones. Vet said they look to big to dissolve with medication/diet. Almost 90% sure he will need surgery. Anyone else ever have this problem?? Anyone know the cost for surgery? Any alternatives to surgery?
Never heard of it, but google as usual knows all:
The surgical removal of stones within the bladder is referred to as cystotomy, meaning an opening of the bladder. This is usually a very easy procedure. Most veterinarians would agree that it requires less skill than a spay.
Doubt it would be that expensive a surgery.
