Make sure and have the stones analyzed, as they are typically recurring...The type of stone that you find will determine what type of food is best for your baby to keep the stones at bay. Stones that form in acidic urine require a completely different protocol than stones that form in alkaline urine... Could be ammonium urate (which would indicate liver problems and would require a low PURINE diet), calcium oxalate (which would require a low oxalate diet), struvite (which typically form due to infection), etc. One thing you can do in the meantime is: If your dog eats dry food, make sure to add *at least* equal parts water to each meal. So, if your dog eats 1/4 cup per meal, add at least 1/4 cup of water to that food. Also, try to feed high moisture treats like watermelon (seedless). If you can switch your dog to a canned food that would probably be better b/c of the moisture content, or you could just add canned food and a water to the dry food.. Good luck and keep us posted!! |
