Poor Honey

[JoannaC]

She finished her antibiotics with no improvement so took her to vets for scan this morning and they just rang to say she has a huge bladder stone so they are going to operate this afternoon. Feel a bit sick now, hate her having to go through this :-( We have very hard water in our area and wondering if that has caused it.

I hope Honey's op goes well xx

 

[meleeka]

Well at least you haven’t had time to worry too much! I hope it all goes well and she’s home soon.

 

[Clodagh]

I hope she’s not too sad tonight. Let us know when she’s home.

 

[AmyMay]

I’m so sorry. What an incredible worry. Absolutely everything crossed for a good outcome. One of @Bellasophia ’s dogs recently underwent a similar surgery and had (I believe) made a good recovery.

 

[Backtoblack]

Hope she's okay

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Hope the op goes well

 

[oldandgold]

Everything crossed for Honey, sure it will be ok. take care

 

[JoannaC]

Thank you everyone, it is good they were able to slot her straight in today so I can't stress too long about it and hopefully she'll feel much better once it's gone!

 

[oldandgold]

The waiting is always the hardest part, please let us know how she is later

 

[JoannaC]

The patient is home looking very sorry for herself, not surprised with the size of these!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Dear lord, they are massive! Has the vet advised a different diet? Low purine?

 

[cauda equina]

Glad it's over and she's home
Those stones though!

 

[AmyMay]

Poor love. They’re massive

 

[misst]

Sending get well soon vibes for Honey. Poor thing!

 

[Errin Paddywack]

My goodness, those are huge. No wonder she wasn't well. Hopefully she will feel much better soon.

 

[JoannaC]

They are sending them off for analysis and then yes need to look at her diet. I've already changed her from dry to wet but need to do some research once the results are back as to what is best. We're also getting a water purifier fitted as the water here is awful. We keep fish and it's so bad for them that it made us think it can't be that great for us either so hopefully that will help too.

Hope she makes a good recovery. Those stones must have felt so uncomfortable!

 

[Kunoichi73]

Poor Honey! Hope she starts feeling better now she's had her operation.

 

[Bellasophia]

MY schnauzer has gonethrough two ops this year..
Please look st bladder stone post,im being dismissed today from hospital and will writelater.yourdog should recover fast from the op.Once the stones have been analysed you must follow a diet for life...
I will post later. She will feel so much better now they are out...my little girl has 3large stone( 2.5cm) and multiple small ones..they tend to reform if you are not rigorous in your feeding.
Good luck Honey.

 

[Archangel]

Poor Honey. Those stones are huge.

I was advised by my vet to give my little dog with bladder stones only Volvic bottled water, apparently it has the least of the mineral that causes the stones than all other bottled waters. We have hard water here also.

 

[Bellasophia]

Depends on the type of stones she has...there are at least 4 types...you have to have them analysed in a lab...only then you know what protocol to follow.

 

[Goldenstar]

Oh poor Honey those stones are huge .
That’s a wonderful traumatised face she is wearing .
Is that a favourite persons jumper she’s using as a pillow that’s a nice thing to do.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Poor girl, bet she will feel better with those out.

She reminds me of Dobby when she pulls her sad face

 

[oldandgold]

I think Honey has mastered the Oh Woe Is Me look, hope she is feeling brighter today, the size of the stones are definitely worthy of a sad face.

 

[JoannaC]

She's feeling much better today but totally unimpressed with her clothing!

 

[oldandgold]

Tell Honey better to wear the suit than have to wear the cone of shame.

 

[Goldenstar]

Oh poor girl , the position of that near side back paw and the face .
Better the body suit of shame than the cone of shame .
Pearl had to wear the blow up cone of shame because she ate her body suit when she was spayed.
