Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old female spayed Shih Tzu was brought to the vet because she had been bleeding from her urine for four weeks. X-rays showed a bladder stone, and during surgery to remove it, the vet found a polyp-like growth in her bladder that was also taken out. Tests showed that she had eosinophilic polypoid cystitis (a type of bladder inflammation) and the stone was made of struvite. After treating her urinary tract infection, she was on the road to recovery.
