Hi
I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with this. No one said my dog has TCC but I am trying to explore this and see if anyone out there can give me advice. My dog is not straining or has uregncy, if I dont tell him lets go pee pee he would probably not ask for hours on end, here is more about him:
I have a Rottie/Lab Male Mix who just turned 6.
He started in August having urinary problems, he was peeing blood and I took him to the Vet , they did Urine tests and Xrays. They put him on Antibiodics for 3 rounds and it seemed to help. They said they could not see a stone in the Xray but the stone maybe radiolucent. So now he is peeing blood again for like the 3rd time and I notice that in the urine is little black sand grains, if I remove them and swipe them on a piece of paper, they feel like sand. Also after the last 2 blood episodes, twice, he passed a black poppy seed looking thing. So the Vet put him on Royal Canin Urinary S/O
Again last night, he was peeing blood again, the urine looked like a blush wine, now its stopped and the black sandy gritty things are in the urine again. My question is, has anyone experienced this with stones? That the bleeding stops and the urine is perfect and then all of a sudden it comes back for a day and then leaves again? And if you also have seen the gritty sandy stuff. Otherwise the dog is perfect, runs, eats, plays, sleeps, wags.
He does not strain to urinate either and it is a full flow, no blockages.
I just dont like this good urine for weeks and then a bout of bloody urine, and I can not find anything about it anywhere.
Has anyones dog with TCC experienced this and also how will a TCC dog act in general?
I thank you for your help
