| My Yorkie has kidney stones My sisters two year old yorkie has kidney stones, and she took him to the vet this morning, he explained to her that he had kidney stones, and it was backing up into his kidneys... It seemed as thought he talked her into putting him down. Why didn't he try medication or surgery? |

| I don't know, but it seems to me to be an extremely drastic step! Surely, there must be medication or surgery that could have done rather than kill the poor baby!!! I've had kidney stones myself. Lithotripsy was done and solved the problem. Maybe cost had something to do with it, or the "vet" didn't want to be bothered? Your sister must be very upset! |

| That's so sad.... but maybe his lab values were so bad the vet didn't think he would survive surgery? IDK.
