Pet Bladder Stone Removal Surgery in Orlando

If your pet is experiencing urinary discomfort or has been diagnosed with bladder stones, Shey’s Veterinary Hospital in Orlando provides safe, effective bladder stone removal surgery focused on relieving pain and restoring your pet’s health.

Understanding Bladder Stone Removal Surgery

Bladder stones are hard mineral formations that develop in your pet’s bladder and can cause irritation, pain, and serious urinary complications. In some cases, these stones can lead to blockages that require immediate veterinary care.

Bladder stone removal surgery, also known as a cystotomy, is performed to safely remove these stones and relieve discomfort. While some smaller stones may be managed medically, many cases require surgical removal to fully resolve the issue.

At Shey’s Veterinary Hospital, we carefully evaluate your pet’s condition before recommending surgery. Our goal is to treat the underlying issue while minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of recurrence.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Addressing bladder stones promptly helps prevent complications and supports a faster recovery.

What to Expect During Bladder Stone Removal Surgery

Bladder stone removal at Shey’s Veterinary Hospital is a structured, carefully monitored process designed to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

Diagnostic Evaluation and Consultation

We begin with a physical exam and diagnostic testing such as X-rays or ultrasound to confirm the presence, size, and number of bladder stones.

Our veterinary team will review the findings with you and explain whether surgery is the best option for your pet.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Before surgery, we perform bloodwork and tailor anesthesia protocols to your pet’s specific needs. Advanced monitoring equipment is used throughout the procedure to track vital signs and ensure safety.

Surgical Removal Procedure

During surgery, our veterinarians carefully open the bladder to remove the stones. The bladder is then flushed and checked to ensure no remaining fragments are left behind.

We use precise techniques and gentle handling to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, your pet is closely monitored in a quiet recovery area. We provide pain management, antibiotics if needed, and detailed aftercare instructions.

In many cases, stones are sent for laboratory analysis to help determine their composition and guide future prevention.

Why Bladder Stone Removal is Important for Your Pet

Bladder stones can significantly impact your pet’s comfort and overall health. Removing them not only relieves symptoms but also helps prevent more serious complications.

Relief from Pain and Discomfort

Bladder stones can cause irritation, inflammation, and pain during urination. Surgical removal provides immediate relief and improves your pet’s quality of life.

Prevention of Urinary Blockages

In severe cases, stones can block the urinary tract, which is a life-threatening emergency. Early removal helps prevent these dangerous situations.

Improved Urinary Health

Once the stones are removed, your pet can return to normal urinary function. With proper follow-up care, we can also help reduce the risk of recurrence.

Signs Your Pet May Need Bladder Stone Removal

Bladder stones often present with noticeable urinary symptoms. Contact Shey’s Veterinary Hospital if you observe:

  • Straining or difficulty urinating
  • Blood in the urine
  • Frequent attempts to urinate
  • Accidents in the house
  • Signs of pain or discomfort when urinating

These symptoms should never be ignored. Prompt evaluation can prevent complications and lead to better outcomes.

How Often Should Your Pet Receive Bladder Stone Removal Surgery?

Bladder stone removal is not a routine procedure and is only performed when stones are present and causing problems.

Some pets may experience bladder stones once, while others may be more prone depending on factors like diet, breed, and underlying health conditions.

Regular check-ups and preventive care are important for monitoring urinary health. Our team at Shey’s Veterinary Hospital will guide you on long-term prevention strategies tailored to your pet.
