My 6 year old Bo recently had an operation to remove a large stone from his bladder (3 months ago). Previous to this he was becoming covered in urine, so much that I was bathing him everyday, getting sock hocks due to the urine and acting different to normal such as carpet chewing for the first time. The first vet I saw put him on a course of metacam and baytril but after a couple of days I started seeing blood in his urine and took him back to the vets.
A different vet this time gave him an x-ray and the stone was obvious even to me. The next morning he had an op to remove it. this is the stone by a 10p. Sorry for the pic quality.
Now only 3 months later he has started being urine soaked again although not as bad as before. I took him to the vets last night and the vet couldn't feel anything in the bladder and took a urine sample (waiting for him to call me this morning). Bo is back on metacam and baytril.
He is eating and pooping fine but is shedding like mad and has lost a little weight.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to help him?
