Lets talk bladder stones🩺

Bladder stones (also called uroliths) are rock-like structures that form when minerals build up in urine. They can be as small as a grain of sand, or as big as the bladder. Some animals develop just one stone, but others develop multiple.

Most bladder stones stay put in the bladder, but smaller ones can sometimes travel through the urethra (the thin tube that takes urine out of the body), get stuck and cause a blockage. If this happens, your animal won’t be able to p*e, which is an emergency.

Certain factors can make it more likely for your dog to develop bladder stones including frequent urinary tract infections, a type of liver disease called a ‘portosystemic shunt’, and certain medications such as steroids and diuretics if used long term.

Some dogs show no signs of having bladder stones at all, whereas others develop a very irritated bladder, which can cause the following symptoms:
* Straining to p*e
* Pain (whimpering or yelping) while p*eing
* Peeing in very small amounts
* Peeing more often
* Blood in urine
* Peeing in the house
* Drinking more

To diagnose bladder stones we can do an ultrasound scan or x-rays.
we would then obtain a fresh urine sample which we would analyse under a microscope if there is any crystals present which may give a clue as to what type of stone it is.

Some bladder stones like struvite can be managed with a strict urinary diet which helps dissolve the stones, although this can take some time and may not always work.
Some other stones cannot be dissolved and need to be surgically removed under general anaesthetic, known as a cystotomy. This also may be the treatment course if there are a large amount of stones or a risk of blockage.
