Watermelon and apples are EXCELLENT treats for Mickey since they are both high in moisture and are low Oxalate which is important since he gets calcium oxalate stones.

One of the best things you can do for him is to make sure that he gets a lot of moisture. It's important to keep his urine dilute so that the stones don't even have a chance to form. I'm sorry if I've asked before, but does he get canned or dry U/D. If he gets the dry, it's important to add equal parts water to each meal. So, if he gets 1/4 cup dry u/d at each meal, then add 1/4 cup water to each meal.
