Here is sweet Oliver, a 7 year old pomeranian chihuahua mix, being held in a veterinary assistant’s arms with some warm towels. ❤️ In February Oliver was in for a cystotomy. When Oliver started having blood in his urine, he came to the clinic for diagnostics. His X-rays showed bladder stones - solid mineral deposits formed when urinary crystals combine together. Surgery was performed to remove them and Oliver is recovering well. He will stay on a specific diet and lots of hydration to prevent reoccurrence.
This condition can affect both females and males, but males are at higher risk of urethral obstruction due to anatomy.
