Anyone have a dog with bladder stones that after surgery didn't have a recurrence?

Question

I adopted a dog from the humane society and found out later it is a sick doggie. We had the bladder stones removed but just two weeks after surgery she had another uti and crystals in her urine. She's on a special diet but i'm not feeling hopeful. Anyone have advice or a success story?

Answer 1

Hi, yeah my dog had bladder stones as well. She started peeing blood so we took her on and we got the stones surgically removed. This was a year ago and shes been fine ever since! The stones are caused by a build up of protein which is why the dogs are then on a strict diet. Yeh my dogs fine so yours has every chance of getting better aswell!

Answer 2

Most cases wont develop stones again, but it depends laregly on what sort of stones they are.

Aside from special diets, some vets will recomend putting the dog on diuretics so that it drinks and pees more. This means that the urine is more dilute and flushed from the bladder more frequently, reducing the chance for stones to develop.
