Marley was really poorly with a blocked urethra, a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate intervention. After diagnosing bladder stones as the cause, the obstruction was flushed back into the bladder. The owners were given the option to surgically remove the stones, or try medical dissolution with a low mineral prescription diet. Both options have their benefits and risks, his owners elected to try dietary management. At 8 week follow-up, the stones and sediment had disappeared, and we are hopeful, with careful monitoring, that Marley should have a good, long term outcome. ๐ถ ๐ชจ ๐ฌ
