Those are the ones that are hard to dissolve and usually have to removed surgically.
My Lady is a diabetic and prone to uti's (not stones, thank heavens ) so I know way more about urine than I'd like to.
The pH of urine should be neutral, 7.0. Stones are formed if it's too acidic or alkaline. You can buy urine pH strips and test it yourself. Calcium oxalate stones form when the urine is too acidic. You can add organic cider vinegar like Omega said (it must be from a health food store, not the grocery store) or baking soda to make the urine more alkaline. Mickey may need a prescription diet.
Changing the urine pH isn't going to help with the stones he has now, but hopefully you can stop him from producing more.
