Special Needs: June 16, 2016 ATDR "Coco Puff" 956000005119042 Cystotomy Surgical Discharge Summary Physical examination findings The pre-surgical physical exam revealed a tense abdomen which palpates abnormally. Testing findings Pre-anesthetic lab work revealed no abnormalities. Stone analysis is pending at this time. We will contact you as soon as the results are available. For now, please use the Urinary SO diet you have. If we need to change the diet we will notify you once the stone analysis is made available. Surgery A midline incision was made to allow access to the bladder. A small incision was then made into the bladder for stone removal. Post-operative radiographs were not performed. Recovery Post-operative recovery was quiet and uneventful. "Coco Puff" was offered Purina canned Urinary diet and water post-operatively. Prescriptions Please follow all label directions regarding the use of prescribed medications. Please finish out the previously prescribed Rimadyl, Tramadol, and Clavamox that you have. Follow up care and testing Only small meals and water should be offered tonight. Normal feedings may resume tomorrow morning. Please do not change the prescribed urinary diet unless directed otherwise. Dietary control is extremely important to reduce the risk of reoccurrence of bladder stones. Exercise restriction is paramount to an uneventful recovery. Please keep Coco Puff inside and quiet for the next 10-14 days with leash walks only for urination and defecation. No running, no jumping, no stairs, and no bathing for 10-14 days. An Elizabethan collar is recommended at all times during the recovery to prevent self-inflicted trauma to the surgical site. Sutures are buried under the skin but we want to recheck Coco Puff in 2 weeks.
