Default calcium oxilate stones

Hi all I am new here and was looking for some advice.
I have a 9 year old yorkie who keeps getting calcium oxilate stones. He has already had 2 surgeries to remove them and they are back yet again. We are giving him potissum citrate 2x a day and he is on Royal Canin LF food which was reccomended by the vet to help reduce the formation of crystals, but if the stones are back then something is not working. We have gone for a second and third opinion and all the vets basically tell us the same thing. He is just prone to the stones and surgery is all we can do at this point. Unfortunately between the cost of the perscription food and the pot citrate comming up with 2000 for the surgery is extreamly hard right now.

So my question is has anyone else had to deal with this any advice on how to proceed?

thank you all in advance
Dan
