Bizeebee Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Anyone have any insights/tips for a 4yo male going in for a Cystotomy? I haven't been able to find many threads on this topic, is it pretty rare in greys? How long was your pup's recovery? Did you use a cone or some other method of lick-prevention? What kind of bladder control/retention should we reasonably expect while he's healing? Has anyone successfully treated struvite stones with diet/increased water (avoiding surgery)?

2greyhoundMINI Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Our male had this surgery about 3 years ago. He actually had to have emergency surgery at 2am. He wore the cone of shame while healing and was on the necessary antibiotics/anti-inflammatories. He has since been on Science Diet CD formula and has not had an issue since. He also doesn't excessively drink. Good luck!
