Search Results for Query: gall bladder surgery There are some threads here about gall bladder surgery and gall stones. If your vet believes that this is causing a chronic obstruction, then the surgery is recommended. Is the problem entirely confined to the gall bladder? I don't know if you are...

Don't know about gall bladder surgery for cats. In people - I had mine removed back in the day when they really opened you up, had to lift liver out of the way to get at it, etc. Long recovery. My daughter had hers removed laparoscopically and it was a significantly much easier recovery for her...

Hi My angel Poppycat had bile duct/pancreas/liver/gall bladder issues in 2019 that they were calling triaditis/cholangitis, but his issues were not to this extent of requiring surgery. This is rough, no question about it, however you are doing everything you can on behalf of your cat. If you...

Be very up front with the vet that the low fat diet will not work and ask what the ramifications or possible alternatives are after gall bladder surgery.

After my gall bladder surgery the surgeon visited me in the hospital to ask whether I needed any pain medications, and I said "No, I haven't had any pain at all since you took the nasty thing out." (All right, I didn't say "nasty," but this is a child friendly site.) And he looked doubtful and...

I'm glad it was negative for IBD, that's a start! Interesting about the gallbladder. Sometimes no reason's found for any of this, as we learned last year when Edwina had to have stomach surgery. I'll be really interested to hear what your regular vet might say, particularly given Missy's...

I did a bit of searching online for you... Apparently this issue can cause a rupture in the gall bladder and result in bile leaking into the abdomen if not treated. I would suggest going on the advice of your vets and having the surgery.

Musiaka has IBD, but in general he's in a good condition, eats well (although I suspect that his current food has something to do with how fast the gallstones grew in size cause it has a pretty high fat content, 8%!), is interested in life, doesn't lose weight so I hope his condition is good...

I have just received an answer from our old vet in Stockholm, Sweden. This is what he says: "Gallstones are assymtomatic in cats and other animals unless they are causing a blockage. That's when they need to be removed. I have never done the surgery on a cat just because of vomiting, let alone...

I have had GI troubles (IBS being one of then) for a long time. I have been tested before and Gall Stones did not show up. Last year, however they did. Some people live with Gall Stones a long time (like your mom) and they do not encounter a problem. However, if stones do get stuck in the Bile...

...overnight was when I had my son. A couple years later, I went in for a tubal ligation. A few years after that, I had a complete hysterectomy. Gall bladder surgery was done as a same day surgery and I went home that afternoon. Same with knee surgery. That's been it. So far. What about you?

I did ask that when I talked to the surgeon that we were booked at. She said that ibd creates serious issues when it comes to healing after the surgery. There is no way he could be earting his previous food after it. I also talked to a vet from another clinic that offers gallbladder removal...

Wow....what a place to be! I have not treated gall bladder specifically in any animal I have owned and so have no direct experience with ursodiol. I would ask about side effects of the medication; aside from the fact that it might cause a blockage (or might not work and thereby cause the...

Monkeydo is 14.6 years old. The 2020 surgery was to remove 3 giant pseudocysts from his liver. Once inside, the surgeon saw that the "cysts" were his bile ducts, presumably taking on the role of the atrophied gall bladder. It was a rare surgery. Nobody could say how it would hold up. We have...

There are possible side effects as you say - nausea, vomiting etc. But it can be managed by giving the med with food. I will call the vet and clarify if Musiaka will need to be taken to the ER if a stone gets stuck because she didn't mention that on her own. She only said to look out for green...

The liver is an exceptional organ, it can heal itself and even grow back if a portion is cut away due to a surgery. But it is also so slow in recovering when "insulted" like you say. If the disease is being given by a bacterium, then, once they find the right antibiotic the infection should go...

...when she got meningitis. She had a second bout with meningitis the following year. She's had ear surgery, stomach surgery, gall bladder surgery, hysterectomy, foot surgery. I'm sure I'm missing something. Oh yeah, congestive heart failure after getting a transfusion and D&C. We think they...

Sorry, I've seen your thread only now. My cat, now at the Bridge, had a hepatitis for a long time and despite the number of tests, visits, scans, therapies, nothing seemed to help her. There were times when it seemed things were going better, then we were back to square one. Her liver levels...

...6 black, and one unrelated(?) brendle kitty. Two are males, and the rest are all females. In 2018, I went in for a one day gall bladder surgery, but things went sideways, and they kept me 2 1/2 months. When I returned home, five of the outdoor kitties had wandered off. The very kind next...

@Winchester when I had gall bladder surgery - quite literally decades ago - it was major abdominal surgery. These days it is done laparoscopically. No idea how it is done for dogs. The anaesthesia would likely be the major concern.
