Bladder Stone Question

[dozier0708]

We have a three year old male that has a bladder stone. He was supposed to have surgery today to get it removed, but we backed out because we are worried about the surgery. Our vet has never performed the surgery before and she said that it may be too stressful for him and he could die. We are checking around town to see if another vet has done the surgery before.

Has anyone had a chinchilla with bladder stones that could tell me a little about the surgery and after care? Any info would be helpful!!!!!

I would check around to see if there are any vets that are experienced in this kind of surgery. I had a male that had a huge stone under or near his pelvic area and the vet tried 2 times to get to it. She even asked other vets but where the stone was it was impossible. She was the 3rd vet that we saw over the weekend. I didn't feel comfortable with the 1st vet, the 2nd vet never did this kind of surgery. The 3rd vet said she has removed them before. Good luck.
