bladder stone

Hi all, One my piggies - Badger - has just been diagnosed with bladder stones after we noticed he’s been urinating blood. He is only a year old. He has one stone that we could see on the xray, our vet has said it is likely he would develop the stones again in future and that surgery would be...

My piggie, Peanut (6 years old, 7 in May) has just passed a bladder stone with a bit of blood. She's had bladder stones twice before and has been on a low calcium diet for around a year or so now. Other than going to the vets, getting the antibiotics/ pain meds, what can I do? I feel awful that...

Hello! Fluff, 5.7yo boar, had a 5.6mm bladder stone removed 05/09/25. They said his bladder wall was damaged and quite a mess. Post op was on cisapride, enrocare, meloxaid, fibreplex and seemed to be doing well. Over the last week we’ve had a return of rust coloured pee and searching and...

Last week, our beautiful Herbert was back at the vet. Diagnosis is a bladder stone as you can see from this x-ray. Apparently it's too big for him to pass. Herbert is a trooper. He had major spleen surgery last year in November three weeks after we adopted him (he's famous! Apparently in a...

Hi all, My 3 year old Gerdie went to vets on Monday with blood in her wee, she's on a 7 day course of enrocare but we've now completed day 4, and there's still blood in her urine. Does anyone with experience of simple cystitis know whether this should have resolved by now? I'm really worried...

My guinea pig Gandalf has been diagnosed with a bladder stone 4 days ago. He also has a urinary infection. I can't pay for the surgery. I don't have the money and it is really expensive. 😓 There is also some risks involved. The stone is pretty big. His bladder is full of blood and sludge We are...

Penelope that will be 6 next year had an issue with a stubborn UTI in the past few weeks. The uti seems to have cleared but noticed little spots of blood occasionally and orange urine. She had an X-ray at the vet yesterday and discovered a really tiny bladder stone. This is her first ever...

I think Pumpkin has another bladder stone. She has an appointment tomorrow morning. I need to let the vet know in the morning if I think putting her to sleep is what I'm thinking. Vet agreed with me about not operating again. Pumpkin this year has had 3 operations already. One for cancer, one...

Hi, I'm sorry I do not know how to link this to my other posts and get it seen? I really badly need advice again. We ordered Emeraid IC. But cannot figure the amounts to feed? My piggy Bandit - 5 years old rescue - bladder stone 0.97mm . Unable to afford surgery 😔 He now weighs 866 grams as of...

Can pea flakes still be given to a pig prone to bladder stones? I know a lot isn't advised. But as a treat are they still fine? Or do they need to be avoided please?

How common is squeaking in pain when weeing sometimes after a bladder op? Vet is aware, I have told them. But I don't feel there is much we can do than see how she is over the weekend as she only had a bladder op a week ago. She squeaked a lot last night, but seen her do one wee this morning...

Hello everyone! I went to the vet last week to have my 4 year old girl looked at. She found a couple small crystals on her vulva and an abdominal mass after palpation. She recommended an x-ray and diagnosed her with the following after reviewing it: a bladder stone sitting in her urethra, an...

I hope it’s ok if I skip the usual care rundown since he’s terminal and I’ve done everything I can, I have been struggling so horribly with this because my grandma is also dying and one of our dogs has cancer as well. Going to start by saying Pumba is 7 1/2 years old and had a massive bladder...

Hello, I found these two lumps within my piggies cage this evening (I have one made pig who is castrated and and is 2 1/2 and one female pig who is about 1 1/2). The lump on the left (more brown coloured) is more squishy and wet in texture and the one on the right (white) is harder however still...

Hello! I have a 3 1/2 year old guinea pig who went to the vet this last Thursday from blood in his urine. He’s dealt with bladder sludge for almost a year and now he’s formed a stone. He heading into surgery on Monday and I am terrified. I want him to be okay and trying to prepare myself. He’s...

I posted 2 weeks ago about my Piggy Mr Wilson. He was diagnosed with a bladder stone, the xray showed it was in his urethra not the bladder. Vet advised us to go home with pain meds and muscle relaxers to see if he could pass it on his own. A 2nd xray has shown the stone is still in the same...

Hi all, so I made a post a few weeks ago about my 7 year old boar who had a large bladder stone and later had a successful surgery a few weeks ago. He gained most of his weight back and seemed back to himself but we had to extend his pain meds another week because he was still in some pain. Vet...

Hello All, I just want to share my experience with my beautiful Guinea pig who had 2 bladder stones. I took her to vet to do a check since she was acting a bit off and they did an X ray which showed no stones. Two months later, I had to follow up and did another X ray, this is where they found...

Last week we noticed blood in Tiny's urine, so of course we took him to the vets. We were given a week of Baytril and Metacam, which we completed with no improvement. We took Tiny back to the vets on Wednesday, and they took an ultrasound and spotted a bladder stone, so he had surgery that...

Hi all, My girls are 6.5yrs old and have both had issues with bladder stones/sludge. Most recently Winnie had a large stone (about the size of a 5p!) removed via surgery at the end of July. They did x-rays at the time and didn't find any more, but the sludge problem is recurring in both of...
