My yorkie has a bladder stone. He is five years old. The vet told me the only option is surgery but I really don't trust him that much since he is also the one that missed his luxating patella a few years ago. He did not mention anything about diet although I have been reading lots of information about eliminating protein and other such things in the diet. I wanted to know if anyone has experience in this and what has helped. The visit cost ke $568 and right now I cannot afford to get another vet's opinion so that is not an option. He is currently on antibiotics to treat an infection that they aren't even sure he has because they couldn't get urine.
