Bladder capacity is usually reduced somewhat by the surgery, but the main cause is that, after surgery; the bladder wall is swollen and thickened and irritable. Normally, the bladder wall is thin and elastic and maintains a low pressure until it has stored 8 to 10 ounces of urine. After surgery, the swollen bladder does not store much urine at a low pressure. As soon as it starts to fill, the pressure goes up and you feel the need to urinate.

Yes, it can. To the extent that enlargement of the prostate is contained, pressure on the bladder is minimized, thereby decreasing the urgency for urination. See similar questions...

The cells lining the bladder and urinary tracts can begin to grow in an uncontrolled manner resulting in the disease know as bladder cancer. Transitional cells line the bladder proper and are so named because they transition from square when the bladder is empty to flat when the bladder is full. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most frequently occurring malignancy of the urinary tract in dogs. The incidence increases with the dog's age. See similar questions...

It is not unusual for the male to experience some burning (dysuria) during urination following ejaculation. This is the result of friction developed along the urethra (the lining of the penis) during the act of sexual intercourse or masturbation. Urine moving along the urethra creates a burning sensation. It should not be considered a sign of any active disease or indicative of injury to the penis but rather a natural event. See similar questions...

The body is made of many systems that work together to provide health, wellness and daily function. When one of these systems is not working together with the others, diseases or a state of illness occurs. The immune system is the "watchdog" of the body. It protects the body from substances that don't belong there. These foreign substances can be bacteria, viruses, or tissue from another person or living thing. See similar questions...

Adding mineral rich salt from the Bonneville salt flats to your bath water increases the salinity of the water -- which decreases the bacteria count on your skin giving your body's immune system a break from the daily war against invading microscopic intruders. High bacteria count can be a factor in development of a bladder infection so by decreasing the bacteria count the risk may be less in getting an infection. See similar questions...

Recently I noticed how annoying it is to stumble across a blog and not know for sure who's writing it or what it is about. When this happens, I feel like I spend a lot of time and energy trying to catch up. Sort of like coming into the second half of a movie and not knowing the name of any of the characters or if the monkey with a Mohawk is significant to the plot line or just a cute extra. I have to figure some people come here and have the same feeling. See similar questions...

Fish floats upside-down or sideways. This is particularly common in fancy goldfish because of their bizarre body shapes. Dry food eaten quickly swells up in the fish's intestine and keeps the fish from controlling its swim bladder properly. To help, feed the fish pre-soaked or gel-based foods. Green foods are also helpful; peas in particular. with finrot, these disorders can also be caused by bacterial infection. Treatment is much the same. See similar questions...

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium which is now known to be a primary respiratory pathogen in cats. Bordetella bronchiseptica should be considered in all instances of feline upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) as a secondary or potential primary pathogen. B. bronchiseptica causes respiratory disease in several species including dogs where it causes tracheobronchitis (kennel cough), and pigs where it contributes towards atrophic rhinitis.
