Ryan had a great 1st Tails and Trails adventure, staying calm around cyclists and birds but getting very excited about squirrels. He walked 4 miles like a champ and showed off his playful, affectionate personality while enjoying treats and toys along the way. He was also an excellent car passenger, making him a happy, inquisitive companion through the morning.

What to know about Ryan:
• Ryan loves yummy treats and will happily sit nicely for one.
• He enjoys all kinds of toys—squeaky stuffies, balls, and tug ropes.
• Excellent car passenger who jumps right in, ready for the next adventure.

Three words to describe me:
Happy, Playful and Inquisitive

Ryan is a young male neutered pit bull who came into the shelter with bloody urine. He was treated for a bladder infection, and the medical team performed a cystotomy to surgically remove a single large bladder stone (stone analysis is pending from University of Minnesota). Bladder stone was removed surgically in shelter on 1/2/26. He may need to be on a veterinary prescription urinary diet lifelong to reduce risk of stone recurrence, but therapeutics will be guided by stone analysis. Bladder incision site healing well. Ryan also came in with a broken maxillary canine tooth. This tooth was extracted. Ryan is wiggly in his kennel and has "Happy Tail Syndrome" which is a condition where dogs repeatedly hit their tail against surfaces while wagging, self-traumatizing their tail tip and causing intermittent wounds. Bandages have not stayed on his tail. If Happy Tail Syndrome persists outside of shelter environment, he may need ongoing medical management or surgical amputation if issues persist. Ryan is a sweet young dog who has not observed to have any behavioral challenges in shelter. He has tolerated handling by the medical team well. Needs urgent rescue due to urinary disease and prescription diet needs and Happy Tail Syndrome leading to recurrent tail trauma against walls in kennel.

01/16/26 16:33 as of today, urine stone analysis still pending through Minnesota U - memo will be updated when analysis is complete

01/21/26 15:27 stone was a struvite stone -- these commonly form secondary to bladder infections in dogs but can also form independent of bladder infections and a urinary diet such as Purina UR/Hills CD or Royal Canin SO are recommended to maintain bladder health lifelong
