Bladder stones are a common source of pain, urinary blockage, and infection in pets. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we provide expert bladder stone removal (cystotomy) to restore urinary comfort and prevent recurrence.
Our diagnostic process begins with urinalysis, radiographs, and ultrasound to determine the number, size, and type of stones present. This helps our veterinarians plan the best surgical and preventive strategy for your pet.
During the cystotomy procedure, our skilled surgeons make a small incision in the bladder, remove all stones, and flush the urinary tract thoroughly. Every step is performed under sterile conditions with close anesthetic monitoring.
After surgery, we send stones for laboratory analysis to determine their mineral composition. This allows us to tailor dietary and medical prevention plans to minimize future stone formation.
Most pets recover quickly, showing immediate relief from straining or discomfort. Our team provides personalized discharge instructions, medications, and follow-up urinalysis to ensure a smooth recovery.
With compassionate expertise and advanced equipment, Animal Surgical Care of PA delivers safe and effective bladder stone removal for pets across Pennsylvania.
