New Born Pup
Hello,
My pig chip has had IC for around 18 months. Over the last 8 weeks or so he had constant wee with blood, straining, weight loss and squeaking in pain.
We took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with bladder stones two of them. He had surgery to remove and was doing fine for three weeks. Now it's all come back with a vengeance.
He's on cystease once a day, metacam dog 0.4 ml twice daily gabapentin 0.15ml twice daily. He's on a course of antibiotics as his wee has become smelly and his behind wet with urine.
He's on low calcium diet lettuce pepper celery coriander. Tomato and apple once a week and I filter his water. He is on low calcium pellets and has around a 2 teaspoons.
Even with all this his pain isn't under control. Vet suggested today we add 0.4 ml of Calpol to try and get it under control.
I hate to see him in pain, when he's not weeing he's otherwise happy and playful and enjoys cuddles and his food! He is loosing a little weight.
I keep reading previous threads from here and I guess I'm looking for some support.
I don't know what to do, I don't know how to make him better.
The vet has said if this doesn't settle we will have to do another scan but it it's stones again he doesn't feel it's fair to put him through another operation especially after 4 weeks.
Please advice me .
So many thanks
