I just wanted to say that my dog Georgia, a maltese/poodle cross had bladder stones and had to be operated on in December 2000. In December 2001 she developed adhesions at the surgery site that compromised her bladder, bowel and kidney. It was a major operation with a clinic stay of a week, but she finally recovered, although she does not have the energy and pep she used to. December 2002 was an anxious time as the vet said if the adhesions were to return it would be approximately 1 year after the first operation, but..... she is fine, thank God.
