 Kidney Stones
My 10 year old female yorkie, Rocky, was just diagnosed today with two large kidney (not bladder) stones after an xray. She has had multiple urinary tract infections and a lot of urinating in the house so the vet finally decided to perform xrays today. He said that stones in the Kidney are inoperable but they are operable f they were in the bladder. He has put her on a heavy duty dosage of antibiotics and performed a kidney function blood test...which I will get the results tomorrow. He says if her kidney functions are down, we start a special diet. Does anyone know of any other treatments available? I am confused because after surfing the net, it appears that there is a surgery for kidney stones...is this true? do I need to be looking for a specialist? I am so worried and upset by all of this.
I appreciate any advice you can give. |
