I'm so sorry to read that your baby had those issues..I too have a yorkie that has a history of stones and had to have a urethrostomy. I know you said that your baby's stone did not show up on an x-ray, but there is a certain type of stone that does *not* show up on x-rays and only shows up on ultrasounds. It's called ammonium urate and is consistent with portosystemic shunts or liver disorders and is many times the *only* symptom.
Did your vet send off the stone for analysis? This is important information so that you can decide which food would be best. Each type of stone requires different diet restrictions.
I think it's very important to have this dog Bile Acid Tested. I am not trying to scare you, I'm only telling you this because I have gone through this with my dog, and there are sooo many other yorkies out there that have had this happen with no other apparent symptoms.
