unico1 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 My missus has a young show cocker dog and has recently had him castrated around 4 weeks ago. All was going well until he started to pass a little blood in his urine. So a trip to the vets later and course of antibiotics and wait. Just wondering if any body else has experienced the same with there dog after the opp or just a coincidence. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unico1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 He's only a youngdog not quite one. Vet has now said he has crystals in his urine it just seems a little odd as he was fine before his operation. Taking him for second opinion as first vets have said could not be to do with casteration?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Kidneys I wonder? Sounds like bladder stones, though Edited February 25, 2015 by bigbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think crystals develope into stones if not treated I also think they can be controled through diet?? All a bit new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 How's he managed if you don't mind my asking? Loads of chances to have a wee or does he sometimes have to hang onto it? Does he drink enough? If it were me (and I am not a vet so do not take as gospel!!) I might try adding electrolytes to drinking water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 What is that and where do you get that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thinking on maybe electrolytes aren't the best idea - your pup has enough salt in his wee already Does he drink a normal amount do you think? Is he on dry food or wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 He drinks a normal amount and on dry food that we moison up with warm water. Although the last few days we have introduced some wet food (meat) to his kibble. Do you think hard water may not be helping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't honestly know mate. I'm not a vet (mores the pity , I never was any good at physics at a level lol) There is a vet on PW, Apache, hopefully they'll be along soon.

scobydog Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi Unico, look up Familial Hematuria, see if symptoms are same/similar, cancer is very rare in such a young dog so shouldn't worry about that too much. As Bigbird says Apache is really the one to ask. Good luck with the dog hope all turns out OK. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveboy Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 My Cairn terrier has just had 11 bladder stones removed.He started with blood in his urine. The stones had to be sent to the USA for Testing. They came back as Calcium Oxalate. If they are Calcium Struvite they can be controlled by diet. Calcium Oxalate have to be removed by a operation. We are now trying to get his urine PH nearer to 7 on the Ph scale to stop them coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
