My Dog had bladder stone surgery 6 days ago. He still is not urinating a full stream. He dribbles with some spurts occasionally. How long does it normally take for him to urinate normal again?

Hi and thanks for posting! It can take anywhere from 10-14 days or sometimes a little longer before the bladder can heal after surgery and regain normal stream of urine. It is not uncommon for there to be a shorter urine stream or for patients that have had bladder surgery to urinate more frequently than usual. This should subside in about 1-2 weeks.

This could be quite common as urinary tract is still inflamed. Sometimes it takes up to two weeks for the bladder function to recover completely.
