bladder stone

Penelope that will be 6 next year had an issue with a stubborn UTI in the past few weeks. The uti seems to have cleared but noticed little spots of blood occasionally and orange urine. She had an X-ray at the vet yesterday and discovered a really tiny bladder stone. This is her first ever...

I think Pumpkin has another bladder stone. She has an appointment tomorrow morning. I need to let the vet know in the morning if I think putting her to sleep is what I'm thinking. Vet agreed with me about not operating again. Pumpkin this year has had 3 operations already. One for cancer, one...

Hi, I'm sorry I do not know how to link this to my other posts and get it seen? I really badly need advice again. We ordered Emeraid IC. But cannot figure the amounts to feed? My piggy Bandit - 5 years old rescue - bladder stone 0.97mm . Unable to afford surgery 😔 He now weighs 866 grams as of...

Can pea flakes still be given to a pig prone to bladder stones? I know a lot isn't advised. But as a treat are they still fine? Or do they need to be avoided please?

How common is squeaking in pain when weeing sometimes after a bladder op? Vet is aware, I have told them. But I don't feel there is much we can do than see how she is over the weekend as she only had a bladder op a week ago. She squeaked a lot last night, but seen her do one wee this morning...

Hello everyone! I went to the vet last week to have my 4 year old girl looked at. She found a couple small crystals on her vulva and an abdominal mass after palpation. She recommended an x-ray and diagnosed her with the following after reviewing it: a bladder stone sitting in her urethra, an...

I hope it’s ok if I skip the usual care rundown since he’s terminal and I’ve done everything I can, I have been struggling so horribly with this because my grandma is also dying and one of our dogs has cancer as well. Going to start by saying Pumba is 7 1/2 years old and had a massive bladder...

Hello, I found these two lumps within my piggies cage this evening (I have one made pig who is castrated and and is 2 1/2 and one female pig who is about 1 1/2). The lump on the left (more brown coloured) is more squishy and wet in texture and the one on the right (white) is harder however still...

Hello! I have a 3 1/2 year old guinea pig who went to the vet this last Thursday from blood in his urine. He’s dealt with bladder sludge for almost a year and now he’s formed a stone. He heading into surgery on Monday and I am terrified. I want him to be okay and trying to prepare myself. He’s...

I posted 2 weeks ago about my Piggy Mr Wilson. He was diagnosed with a bladder stone, the xray showed it was in his urethra not the bladder. Vet advised us to go home with pain meds and muscle relaxers to see if he could pass it on his own. A 2nd xray has shown the stone is still in the same...

Hi all, so I made a post a few weeks ago about my 7 year old boar who had a large bladder stone and later had a successful surgery a few weeks ago. He gained most of his weight back and seemed back to himself but we had to extend his pain meds another week because he was still in some pain. Vet...

Hello All, I just want to share my experience with my beautiful Guinea pig who had 2 bladder stones. I took her to vet to do a check since she was acting a bit off and they did an X ray which showed no stones. Two months later, I had to follow up and did another X ray, this is where they found...

Last week we noticed blood in Tiny's urine, so of course we took him to the vets. We were given a week of Baytril and Metacam, which we completed with no improvement. We took Tiny back to the vets on Wednesday, and they took an ultrasound and spotted a bladder stone, so he had surgery that...

Hi all, My girls are 6.5yrs old and have both had issues with bladder stones/sludge. Most recently Winnie had a large stone (about the size of a 5p!) removed via surgery at the end of July. They did x-rays at the time and didn't find any more, but the sludge problem is recurring in both of...

Hi everyone, I’m hoping this reaches the right people. I’m based in LA and my boy Chewie is going to need surgery to remove his bladder stone. I’m attaching a photo of it. I got to do the x-rays with Dr. Nenn at the LA Guinea pig rescue (you may have seen him in Saskia’s recent video). Dr. Nenn...

Hi there, Sorry for the long post, but we’d really appreciate any advice, stories, anyone can give. Our boy is about 4-5 years old (he was a rescue so unsure exactly), and about 3 weeks ago developed signs of bladder stones. He’s seen the vet twice, been given pain relief, anti inflammatories...

Hi piggie friends, I have a rare instance where my lovely boar Percy actually needs to lose some weight. He’s developed a tiny 1mm bladder stone and if he isn’t able to pass this himself, he would need surgery. Unfortunately at the moment the vet said it would be too high risk given his...

Hi everyone! Biscuit / M / 4 years You may or may not remember but in April i posted about my guinea pig that had a possible bladder stone. Biscuit was fine after it was removed but he never really stopped squeaking in pain when pooping. We all thought it was just a habit, but today he was...

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a couple things that came up on my last vet visit about 2 weeks ago. I'd like to hear expert opinions though. So, Geezer isn't having the best year so far- 3 hay pokes, of which one required emergency vet intervention, and more recently blood in urine...

Hi everyone, Last year my male guinea pig had a surgery to remove a bladder stone, it went well and he recovered quickly. 11 months later and he has another stone. He had it removed on Wednesday, he's now home with me and he's doing fine. My boy sure is strong! My concern now is that it might...
