Dog & bladder stones

Elsa And A Fairly Large Bladder Stone

A story about bladder stones. This is little Elsa, a beautiful Lhasa Apso – she came into the Ellerslie Vet Clinic for a dental and her owner mentioned that she was going to the toilet more frequently lately.

After a quick check we soon found out the reason for this – (ultrasound picture) – a fairly large urolith or “bladder stone” was troubling her.

We removed the stone surgically and Elsa is up and running again in no time!

Later on Kathrin was challenged to plait Elsa’s hair! Good on Elsa’s owner who does her hair beautifully in probably a fraction of the time it took us!
