hi all,

some of you may remember the issues we had with tigger's bladder 3/4 months ago. for anyone who wasn't around/has other things to think about (LOL) she had cystitis caused by 4 bladder stone which were surgically removed - one was the size of a baked bean.

anyway she got through the surgery well and had get better but a couple of nights ago she peed some blood. she did not squeak or appear to be in pain and it was a decent amount not a drop like is associated with cystitis. then the next morning i saw her pee again and it was clear but slightly gritty. i've been giving her cranberry juice since this happened and trying to balance her calcium/phosphorus since she had the op.

is there anything else i can do for her and is it worth a trip to the vet if it doesn't come back/get worse?

TIA
BTP
 
It is definitely worth a trip to the vet - sometimes, new stones form not long after a bladder op, so you need to make sure that it is "just" cystitis and nothing else! Ask for an x-ray (without GA).

If it is cystitis, you may ask your vet to treat it with pediatric septrin 0,5 ml; septrin is the antibiotic that works best with problems in the urinary tract; also make sure that you get a probiotic to counter the effects of the anitbiotic and keep the appetite up.

I am sending poorly Tigger my best wishes!
 
thanks i might take her for a scan at our old vets. don't have to leave her (or pay £60 that way!). i'm not sure if it's anything bad or not as she's done this before by peeing red/pink for a couple of days, been x-rayed but no stones just grit. it's only been the once she had stones :-/
