Just wondered if anyone on here has had a dog or cat needing a cystotomy? My cat has had frequent bouts of cystitis and if this course of antibiotics don't work . The vet is going to go ahead and do a cystotomy It sounds a bit extreme and I am worried sick about it. If anyone's dog or cat has had it done can you tell me if the recovery was really quick. I am also a bit worried it will cause incontinence, though the vet said this rarely happens. I suppose at the end of the day if he needs it done then fair enough, as I am worried he will end up with a blockage which can end up fatal.

Thanks so much for replying :thumbsup: Glad your mum's collie is ok :huggles:

Since I got back home tonight, he is just the same, the antibiotics he has been on since Friday haven't worked yet. So is looking like he will need to have the cystotomy. I have to hand a urine sample in to the vet tomorrow since there is no change and they'll take it fom there I suppose. The last time he had bad cystitis he had an Xray and they couldn't see any stones therefore they said no point in doing another xray this time

If there aren't any stones then why are they going to do a cystotomy? :blink:
