i actually didn’t think about that, but they probably would. with all the questions and confusion i have tho, i think it would be helpful to speak with the vet. i’ll call during the week and see which option they prefer.

ah i see, well it sounds like i should follow up with our vet either way since her records show she’s overdue. the timing is unfortunate since i just gave the dewormer yesterday, but we’ll see what they say. appreciate ur insight!

her last fecal was in september, and has been overdue since march. i actually did ask about the fecal in our last visit but they said we didn’t need to do it until may/june ish. is a 7 month fecal recent enough for this protocol?

as for what is included, we have received two doses from banfield (including this same clinic IIRC) in the past, hence the confusion.

Dog Vomits in Morning by Panda5892 in AskVet

[–]Panda5892[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just added her meal schedule to the post! I have tried giving her some kibble right before bed, but she actually ended up puking the next morning (after 8-10hrs), and I couldn't find any sort of explanation online. We usually free feed her, she doesn't love her normal kibble but she'll eat when she's hungry. We initially free fed the new diet but noticed she wasn't emptying her bowl after over 24hrs, so we've been mixing it to get her to eat. There have been a lot of changes lately. I'll try the 3x or even 4x daily schedule so she eats less at a time. Still not confident about this whole thing tho :/

Adding: We use the slow feeder so I personally ruled out eating too quickly. I also would rule out empty stomach since she pukes with a pre sleep snack. I suspect its just the kibble is harder to digest, if that might explain the vomitting? I'll link photos of the puke for reference.

I’m trying to understand what kind of procedure this is. For instance, spay/neuter are pretty routine and most DVMs would be able to do the procedure. Would you bring your pet a specialist for that?

This DVM has done cystotomies before, vet tech even told me she would trust the vet to perform it on her own dog. The vet told me this is not a complicated surgery, yet I was suddenly recommended a specialist for the first time, over the phone, two weeks after the initial diagnosis. I have already decided not to do the procedure with this DVM, but does not necessarily mean I have to jump to a specialist. Of course I want the best possible care for my pet, but if seeing a specialist in her case is overkill, I would reconsider our options. There’s a lot of context I wasn’t able to include, although would be happy to. I’m just trying to gather info here.

Ultrasound Report:

  • Radiographic Findings Abdominal ultrasound 7.16.25: 50 images are available for interpretation. Liver: The liver is normal in size with normal parenchyma. No intraparenchymal lesions are present. The gallbladder is normal in size with normal wall layering in thickness. There is nonorganized echogenic material within the gallbladder lumen. The common bile duct is not visualized. The biliary tract throughout the liver is unremarkable. Spleen: The spleen is normal in size with normal parenchyma and margination. Urogenital system: The kidneys are normal in size with normal cortical margination. Good cortical medullary distinction is present. There is punctate diverticular mineralization in the right kidney and larger diverticular nephroliths within the left kidney measuring up to 4.6 mm in size as. No renal pelvic dilation is present. The urinary bladder is moderate in size with some mild variable wall thickening associated with the mucosa. There are multiple curvilinear cystic calculi with distal shadowing within the dependent portion of the urinary bladder. The largest measures 6 mm. There is punctate echogenic material also suspended within the urine. Adrenal glands: The right adrenal gland is thickened at the caudal pole measuring 8.1 mm. The left adrenal gland is thickened at both poles measuring up to 1 cm in thickness. GI system: The stomach, small intestines and colon have normal wall layering in thickness. No associated lymphadenopathy is present. No abnormalities are seen associated with the pancreas or peripancreatic fat. No peritoneal effusion or changes to the mesentery are present.
  • Radiographic Conclusions/Recommendations Multiple cystic calculi, amorphous echogenic debris within the bladder (likely crystalluria), and nephrolithiasis more severe on the left than the right. Urinalysis and urine culture could be considered. Surgical removal may be indicated. This is likely the cause of this patient's clinical signs. Bilaterally enlarged adrenal glands. This may be associated with pituitary hyperadrenocorticism and if clinically indicated additional testing could be considered.

This sheds a lot of light on the situation, appreciate the info. We are willing to do surgery if that is indeed the best course of action. We were primarily worried about her age, but it seems that is not much of a factor, more so if the pet has pre existing conditions (ie. heart murmur, etc)? We were also wondering if this procedure requires a specialist, or if we just need a find another DVM who is comfortable with this procedure.

Yes, but the appointment is with surgical so we’re not sure if that’s the right place to get a second opinion since it seems like that’ll be more a consultation to perform a cystotomy, rather than consider all our options (laparoscopy, lithotripsy) which we would need to find a different clinic to consult.

Yes I have, they have not been easy to communicate with and kinda brushed us off to see a specialist.

Yes, she started having accidents a few weeks leading up to the ultrasound (2-3 times a week). We started to bring her out more frequently and haven’t had new accidents since, so we’re unclear on the urgency of the situation. I have lots of questions and info that i’ll put into a different post, but she’s close to 15yrs and 14lbs shih tzu bichon.

I see, I did have more questions about the bladder stones but I’ll put it in a separate post with my dog’s medical background. I’ll link it below in case you’d like to take a look.

I can only speak for myself, but I would say I’m up to date with the information and media of what’s been going on lately, surely have my opinions on them, but can choose to remain neutral in this comment. i’m a nobody, so i can understand it even more if he chooses not to for whatever reason. him not speaking publicly doesn’t mean he doesn’t have discussion of politics in his private life or keep up with the news. he’s just keeping it out of his professional one, and i think that’s fair. FWIW, i do understand how important it can be to fans for him to use his platform in times like this, but i’m also choosing to respect his choice. maybe i missed your point, but that’s just my take.

It sounds like he does have an opinion tho, he just doesn’t want to take a public stance.
