Terrier having problems peein


Recommended Posts

Over 2 weeks ag 4 yr old terrier had problems and could not pee we had to go to vet and get him emptied xrays were done before and after to check for stones but nothing showed up also his prostrate was checked nothing wrong with that also did tests on urine , he was given some antibiotics and pain killers all was well till 12 days later when the same happened again of to vets this time we tried some drugs to relax his muscles again all seemed well till today 8 days since last episode , this time they are sending the urine away for more in depth tests , slowly the bill is mounting up and have the vets baffled , has anyone else experienced this before ?

I presume they have checked for struvite crystals ?

 

Struvite crystals wont show on x-rays

 

If they havent i would get them to check for that first and if he does have them, ask for a specilist appointment

dont make the mistake i did, as it ended up costing me near 4 grand, problems also can start when they cathertarise(sp)

as they can create damage to the uritha(sp) ( specalist vet told me this)
