If the urates are caused by LS, they will stop forming after the LS is treated/repaired. Even the meds used for LS prior to surgery can help keep stones from forming, by removing the amonia in the intestines before it reaches the liver and kidneys where the stones are formed. Without the excess amonia going through his system, the stones won't be able to form there.
If he had been put on these meds right after his last surgery in March, these stones would not have formed. Right now, if they are blocking him from urinating, they are then too big to be treated with medicines.
Sometimes ultrasound waves can be used to bust up the stones into small pieces, but I am not sure if this treatment is appropriate for him at this time, you may want to ask the vet. |
