Missy is a 9 year old Minature Dachshund that belongs to one of my employees. My associate has her scheduled for a cystotomy on Tuesday. I did an ultrasound on Missy and I want to make sure that what I am seeing is real. Is this a single solitary urolith? I can’t really see it on x-rays and I hate to open her up to remove this small stone. She is totally assymptomatic.
Thanks for the feedback

Its a sandball.. small
Its a sandball.. small stones…many of these dissappear if any uti with them and tx the uti. Small pebbles if anything as it only shadows as a grouping. A female dachshund can void these or you can do voiding hydropulsion under anesthesia and then put a probe and see if you liberated them all without doing sx.
