A Shih Tzu has a bladder mucosal tumour and stones
Channel: Dr David Sing
Date: 21/12/2014

On Sunday, Dec 21, 2014, Dr Daniel operated on this Shih Tzu. Numerous clumped stones were removed. There was a large globular bladder tumour of over 2.5 cm across seen and removed.

Blood in the urine was passed since 2012. The owner did not want surgery in 2012 and gave 6 cans of prescription S/D instead. The dog was fed rice and wet food but there was no monitoring of the urine and X-rays since 2012. 6 cans of S/D are not sufficient to dissolve the stones. Big stones cannot be dissolved using S/D in most cases. 

Tumours in the bladder are rarely seen in urolithiasis cases.
