It’s hard to know if our dogs are in pain or discomfort - they certainly can’t tell us so! Luckily, this vet immediately knew what was wrong with her patient.

A couple of months ago, a dog was brought into a vet clinic for his annual vaccines.

A shocking sight

But in the exam room, the dog had a little accident, and peed on the floor. When the vet took a closer look at the puddle, she realised it was pure blood! 

After performing a urinalysis and an xray, it was revealed that the dog suffered from bladder stones. A simple vaccination appointment quickly turned into a surgery, and a total of 28 large bladder stones were removed from the dog! Two of the bladder stones were even as large as golf balls! 

Thankfully, the dog was saved and made a full recovery. 

Viral vet appointment

The whole affair has since been shared on social media, and the story is leaving no-one indifferent. One person said: "Bet he pissed on the floor like ' HELP!' Poor pup."

While another jokingly added: 

"Poor dog! However they might make a nice necklace!"

We’re not sure about that, but one thing’s for sure: If it looks like your dog is in any discomfort when they go to the bathroom, or worse, if they’re peeing blood, go see the vet right away!
