Bladder stones - I feel so guilty

[ballinacup]

Ddog has just been diagnosed with bladder stones and goes in for surgery tomorrow. The ultrasound showed two stones measuring over 4cm across each.

The vet says the poor girl must be in terrible pain and I've had NO idea. She's been eating, drinking, going for walks as normal. I only knew something was wrong when she had an accident on the carpet and I saw her urine was bloody.

Please tell me I'm not the worst dog owner in the world

You're not! If there were no other signs then how could you have known? Blood in urine needn't be bladder stones - but you DID get her to the vet and she's being sorted tomorrow. Dogs generally are stoic creatures. Please don't feel bad. Good luck for tomorrow, she'll be wanting TLC when she comes home. x
