Urinary bladder stones along with UTI (E.Coli)






Johny, A Boxer, 11 years old male dog was undergoing severe pain and trauma. He was suffering from hematuria and was lethargic, anorectic and had lapses of fever. The x-ray of abdominal area was done by one of the reputed Vet. hospital to find out the root of this problem and urinary bladder stones were found. Veterinarians at this hospital said that dog will die in 5-7 days, if not operated immediately. Owners were very much worried and concerned about this statement. Then owners approached at my clinic. Urine was tested qualitatively and quantitatively and culture test was positive for E.coli. Blood test was done and there was remarkable leucocytosis. Dog was put on antibiotics, other medications and syp.Neeri. Bleeding stopped by next day and appetite improved gradually and within 7 days of treatment there was remarkable improvement in activity level as well. After 21 days the X-ray was repeated and there was improvement in the status of urinary bladder stones as well. Finally dog is happy and the owner is happy.
