Debbie --
I am just now seeing the update. (I'd seen and responded to your original thread.)
That poor baby and POOR YOU! Just glad to hear that things went well with the surgery. Hopefully by now, he is resting comfortably at home.

Prayers and hugs to both of you.

I sure hope Mickey is now safe and sound at home, let us all know how he is when you can. Bless his little heart...

Keep us updated on little Mickey...Did your vet change anything in his protocol?? Since his current protocol isn't working from preventing these stones, does your vet have any suggestions??

I just asked her the same thing in her other thread about Mickey. Gosh I do hope there's something else that can be done that will be more effective in stopping these stones from forming. But she did say Mickey was home and giving kisses and wagging his tail...that's a good sign.

Yes, that is a good sign Unfortunately unless something changes, these stones will continue forming and the longer they sit in the bladder, the more damage they do to the bladder walls. He will continue to need surgery...
I'm glad Mickey had the surgery to remove those nasty little stones, but I really wish there was something more that could be done. I know there is!!! I thought there was no hope for Miko because he had this happen to him so many times and it wasn't going away, but a few changes and no more stones!!
YorkieShadow, is there any way that you can ask your vet to check his pH? If not, can you check it at home with some pH strips that you can buy at the drug store or even online at www.solidgoldhealth.com. This will give us a little more insight into his problems....Typically calcium oxalate stones form in acidic urine, so they need alkalizing foods that are also LOW oxalate. If this is the case for Mickey, then maybe you can add treats that are alkalizing foods and low oxalate like apple(no skin or seeds). I have other suggestions, but I would like to know his pH first. The apple would also be good because of the moisture content.
