🍜 From bladder stones to the cutest little noodle bowl! Meet Kiki! 🐾❤️
This adorable Corgi came to UrgentPet Columbia and needed a cystotomy — surgery to remove stones from her bladder.
Take a look at Kiki’s X-rays! 🩻 Those white shapes inside her bladder are bladder stones (uroliths). Bladder stones can cause discomfort, blood in the urine, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. In some cases, they can even lead to a life-threatening urinary obstruction.
The best news? Kiki is doing well! ❤️ And apparently, her cone had a second calling after surgery… Her family sent us this adorable update showing how they repurposed her cone for a costume. We think this little noodle bowl deserves five stars! 🍜😂
Did you know that UrgentPet Columbia offers more than exams and diagnostics? We also perform urgent and emergency surgeries when your pet can't wait for care. This can include:
🐾 Cystotomies to remove bladder stones
🐾 Foreign body surgeries to remove objects swallowed by curious pets
🐾 Pyometra surgeries to treat a life-threatening uterine infection
🐾 C-sections to help moms and their puppies or kittens when delivery complications arise
Our goal is to bridge the gap between your primary care veterinarian and the emergency room by providing timely, compassionate care when your pet needs it most.
If your pet isn't acting like themselves, is having trouble urinating, has swallowed something they shouldn't have, or you're worried something just isn't right, we're here to help!
