Our little girl is going in for surgery! Please keep us in your prayers!

I took our little rescue dog in to the vet yesterday & she found bladder stones! She set her up for surgery this morning! This is the new natural vet that I just started. She did tests & took xray. There are a lot of small ones & 2 big ones! I am so worried about our baby! We have grown to love her so much. And not knowing her background is scary because we have no clue what she might or might not be able to handle! We have had her a couple of months now. The vet we took her to before never said anything about this. But I saw the xray & was there in the next room when they took it! I woke up this am doubting whether I made the right decision or not! I have to leave in an hour. My stomach is in knots! I have never had another dog with bladder stones ever! I'm wondering how hard this will be on her. She is 13 lbs! Please say a prayer for us!

Sending a prayer for your sweet doggie to come through surgery and no more stones. I have a cat with blockage that needed to be cleared. I know what it feels like. You love your baby so much and it is made harder since they don't understand.

I'm sure she will be fine and she will be so happy to see you with a swish of a tail. Pls keep us posted.

I hope it is good we are going right away to take care of it! It just scares me so. To open up their bladder sounds so bad! And painful for recovery! She is laying on me asleep right now. We have to leave soon. I am getting more & more nervous! Just want her to be okay! Vet said they are causing her pain. I don't want her in pain either!

Our rescue pup had them too. We couldn't figure out why she started to peepee in the house when she didn't before. She was only 1 1/2 years old.

The vet palpated and thought stones or cancer. She had xrays the next day and thankfully they were bladder stones.

She did fine and your sweet pup will too.

You may even get a souvenir jar of their stones...just kidding. We did (LOL) and it was amazing how loaded she was with them and how huge they were. No wonder she couldn't hold her urine...there was no room!!

Here we are 8 years later and she's as wonderful as ever!!

Good thoughts for your sweet pup and to you.

My first dog had this surgery many, many years ago. She was over 12 and did just fine. Lived a good long life.

Good News! They called a little while ago. She came thru surgery just fine! They said lots of little stones & 5 abt the size of a quarter. They have them to show us. They said she was awake but still groggy when they called! So we can go pick her up after 4! So happy! Poor little thing is sure going to be sore I'm afraid. My husband fixed an area so she can go off the deck without using the stairs & go pee. And smaller area so she can't go very far! Thank you everyone for keeping us in your prayers!! Be glad to get our little girl home!

Yay!!! Great news!!

Lovemyboots...wonder if they'll put her on a special diet. Mine didn't need one but if they test the stones they may recommend it.

Give her hugs from us.

Our little girl is Miss Maggie Mae! I have the stones. There were 5 really big ones! And lots of small ones! She is sleeping & is on antibiotics & pain meds & I have more meds for when these wear off. She can eat later tonight but vet doesn't think she will. For right now vet said feed her diet she is use to. It is a good quaity food. When I take her back in a few days we will talk about new food & things for prevention! I wish I could post pictures I would put some on of the stones. Ok I think I did it! Hope so. One is by a reg size coffee cup. the other is by a teaspoon. Same stones...and they feel like rocks that you have in your garden! And she is a small dog! 13 lbs.

Wow, I bet those were painful. Good thing your vet took those out. Give Miss Maggie Mae hugs, and get well wishes.

Just saw your initial request for prayers and read the whole thread -- relieved to hear your girl is doing so well! I couldn't get over the photo of those stones -- she is a trooper!

More prayers coming your way for her to be on her paws and feeling sassy in no time!
