scottishlass 57 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) 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 ? edited to add once vet has used catheter once home him he goes back to peeing ok Edited August 21, 2012 by scottishlass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottishlass 57 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 they did a load of test on urine but they are sending away his urine away today to labs to be checked in more depth for these crystals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Has the vet ruled out tumours of one sort or another? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
