Another kind of stone soup

If you have read the 20 things I've learned in 5 years post then you know that one of my favorite surgeries is removing bladder stones. It just so happened I got to do just that last week. A little dog came in with a report of blood in the urine and this is what we saw on the radiographs!

So off to surgery she went the following day

Here is the bladder

Getting ready to make a small incision into the bladder

Pulling out the stones

Stitching up the bladder after all the stones are removed

The final product-all these in a 15 pound dog! Sorry for the blood-my post rinsing pics didn't turn out well
