My guinea pig has kidney stones and needs surgery to remove. Has anyone experienced this? I have read stories that don’t have a good prognosis and I am discouraged
Sorry. Bladder stones.I’m sorry to hear this.
Can you confirm though - kidney stones or bladder stones?
Sorry. Bladder stones.
Did they have reoccurrences?Hi!
Bladder stone removal from the bladder a comparatively straight forward operation with a good recovery rate; one of my earlier piggies has needed two (that was in the days before there was much information or understanding around). If the stones have passed into the urethra, then things can get a lot more tricky, especially in boars who have narrower and longer urethra with an awkward inglenook where passed stones general fetch up.
PS: All of my stone piggies have made it through the op.
