I beg to differ with you barbco. This is the dog’s urinary bladder and these are cystic stones. I did the research and fairly sure I am accurate in this.

Wonderful post. Just educational–all of you are just smart. Thank you for the posting and this is from someone who doesn’t do animals–but I like the surgery.

Pop Pop Pop!! Neat! Huge corn? Big teeth? I wanna chew one.

Poor pup though, glad he/she has caring people!

=^_^=

ppm is right…. even though I thought she don’t like us no more…

It’s a cystotomy: Opening the urinary bladder. The crystals being removed are typical calcium oxalate crystals that form there. Have removed a few myself, not the most comfortable condition for dogs or cats.
Why is this even on here? Pop That Zit has gone quite beyond the literal meaning of the site…

@ Elsol, the reason why I posted this Vid is : it Pops Out !! , this isnt a Zit ,I know. But there are plenty of Vids and pics uphere who arent.
TonsilStones,Botflys…….and so on.

@Twisted Cyster: Well, I’ll grant that it does pop out the way they were removed. I just don’t find these vids or the nasal surgery ones as really “qualifying”, and the only way I judge that is based on my own personal reaction to it. Popping a zit gives me a sense of satisfaction that doing a cystotomy, or flushing a frontal sinus, does not. Oh well…

This is a dog bladder, and what the veterinarian is removing is “bladder stones” or uroliths. In dogs, it is common to have bladder stones and fairly rare to have kidney stones. I personally have seen stones removed from dogs that are as large as your fist.

I’ll bet that would go good with some home-made stew!!
