These are bladder stones (uroliths) from
one dog's bladder. There are various
types of minerals which make up the
'rocks'. Some can be controlled with
special diets. See another type below.

This is an example of a corneal
ulcer (crater) of a dog's eye. These
can heal quickly or they can
become a "worst nightmare". All
eye injuries should be examined
quickly.

| This is an operating room photo of an infected uterus. The condition is called "pyometra". The tubular areas are "horns" (cornua) of this dog's uterus. The diameter is about that of one's forearm and is filled with pus. Normally they are the diameter of a pencil. Spaying female pets early eliminates this life-threatening condition plus it reduces the chance of breast cancer later in life. |
ZOE, a 7-year-old, terrier-mix had this bladder stone removed two weeks before Christmas. It
reminded us of the Christmas star but it was not a "star" of our liking. The owners of ZOE had seen
blood in the urine when ZOE eliminated on snow. We did not find blood on the urinanlysis but an
X-RAY was taken as a precaution. The stone was identified and plans were made for surgery. This
stone is unusual in shape and we have sent it for chemical analysis. Most bladder stones can be
managed by careful diet, some more easily than others.
