What kind of stones does he have? My dog chunky had cystine stones in his kidneys which are hereditary and was around 16 months when the issue started causing me to get him checked. The fix from all I have read and what the vet said was to remove the stones and neuter him. Both were done and he now is doing great. Good luck

And tysons overall health has been great, correct ?

Yes, great! He's older now, this happened to him when he was 8. The neuter fixed everything with his prostate and no issues after.

Also with dogs that have Cystinuria or cystine stones it recommended to feed them foods with less protein and lower cystine. Fish foods usually have higher proteins and that's what Chunky was eating when his issues started or were noticed

Be sure your surgeon has experience with bulldogs, and putting them under. Very very important.

he did his previous surgery for his tumor removal so i trust him completely.. hes seen rocco his he was a baby and has always gone the extra mile. my babys life is in his hands. i have to have trust

They do a urine test and find out then what kind of stones it is. It took my vet a few days to get the results back but his neuter surgery was a week out from when his test was done and the stone removal surgery was added on and done at the same time. They vet kept him for two days to make sure he was going to do well and relieving himself normally

my vet wants to do both surgeries at once to avoid putting him under twice. I'm going to have to ask what kind of stone it is.

I haven't had any issues until now.. i noticed after moving from a nice big spacious house to a more confined apartment with very little backyard space that Rocco has started peeing blood.. i took him to the vet right away and they ran some tests and did some xrays and said he just has a bladder infection.I purchased him from Petland in Naperville for a hefty few thousand dollars. Only to find out i was getting a sick puppy. I brought him back and now they're saying his prostate is very swollen and they also ran a 'scan' and said he might have a bladder stone.

so sad and a bunch of hard crap your having to go through,.. hope that dang place is paying for this!!! you sure are emotionally for that baby you rescued

Hows Rocco?

 

[giannac9852]

Doctor says it is hereditary and has to be covered under 'petland insurance'. Although, if i want them to cover it they said i have to take him for surgery at one of their vets which i am not too fond of but to save a hole in my pocket i dont have much of a choice.. im waiting to hear back from my family vet and the countryside vet which is where they want me to take him. I feel so horrible for him. He is still peeing blood and barely eating and drinking now. i got him canned food with high water content so he has some type of hydration until surgery. Ill keep everyone posted with any updates before and after surgery! thank you everyone for your help and thoughts!

THIS IS MY ROCCO!!! He is the most precious little thing!
