Hi,

I'm sorry to hear your pet suffers from bladder stones.

Treatment will depend on what’s causing your dog’s urine/bladder problem but might include medication, surgery or changes to their dog's diet. Some problems will only need treatment for a short time but other urine and bladder problems may mean your dog needs lifelong treatment or management.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your reply. The first surgery he had stones came back as struvite, 2nd surgery 6 month later the stone was urate. So not sure what is going on
