Thanx again Nancy! Hummm...I assumed that the vet was speaking about a med that she would give my baby to help with passing the stones. I guess I missunderstood, thank you for clearing that up. She did mention that they would be very painful as well. And that I would even notice the dog in pain trying to go potty. As for food, Royal canin, a? Other than lots of water, I will try checking into something else to feed him as well...Thanx Again!
I just know that Royal Canin makes one specific kind for dogs prone to stones, I don't know which other companies make this. Don't get the regular Royal Canin, but the kind for stones. Your vet might instead recommend a food with water mixed in it, if your dog isn't drinking enough water. If you could get him to pee on a pee pad, you might have more luck finding the stone; they are tiny. If you find a stone, it can be tested and sometimes it gives you a better clue on what to do to stop the formation of stones.

I don't know about the fever question, taking the temperature is the only way I know.
