The really bad news is that 50% of yorkies who have stones removed will get them back within two years. That is calcium oxilate stones. Every firstmorning, mid day and after eating at night, keeping a log,we must measure the specific gravity using a refractometer. It must be > 1.020. Additionally, he was given a prescription for potassium citrate.
What a thought! We can look forward to the possibility of this every few years.
Thanks for your good wishes.
