Yay, I'm so glad they were able to diagnose him correctly and remove the stone. After they analysis the stone, they will be able to recommend a diet. These Rx diets have been shown to greatly reduce stones. You're a great mom for noticing this and getting him help. You might also want to encourage him to drink more water, this can be accomplished, by providing fresh water every day and having some available in several rooms for convenience. Ice cubes are another way to introduce water and some dogs love them. Some people also give unsalted chicken broth to tempt their dogs to drink more water, but it’s not necessary your dog is drinking around 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight, less if the food is canned, as canned food is mostly water. |
