Plain-English summary
A 2.5-year-old female dog weighing 5 kg was brought in for frequent straining to urinate, along with dribbling and blood in her urine. Upon examination, the vet found a hard object in her abdomen, which was later identified as a large bladder stone. The dog underwent surgery to remove the stone, but unfortunately, she died after the procedure due to kidney failure caused by the blockage. A necropsy revealed additional complications, including hydronephrosis and chronic bladder inflammation.
