I just asked a member Yorkieluv to give you some advice b/c she has gone thorugh it. I do know that reading her posts, she was able to get Miko her Yorkie to stop producing stones by adding 1 tablespsoon of FRESH celery juice everyday ontop of his food. She will explain better, but she isn't online right now. | |

| I have no idea about costs, as I am in NY and we are up to approx. $8000 in Vet bills so far. |

The c/d food right now is useless because your vet does not know what kind of stones your dog is producing. When he gets the stones out make sure he sends them to the lab for analysis. The price you quoted for the surgery seems right, and is probably on the low end of the spectrum. i wouldn't expect anything less.

| Yes she is 1/2 Yorkie and 1/2 Maltese. If the Vet told you to feed a special food, than that's what I would do |

| I know that my Grandpa's cat, Squeek, went through some urinary mineral build-up (I don't think it was full stones but a build up in the urethra) and since the second occurance in a year Squeek's been on prescription cat food (pretty sure it's Hills) to break down minerals and prevent stones or further build up. He's been on it for at least 3 years and the problem hasn't returned. So I do know that the presciption food should help in the future. Good luck with the surgery, sorry I don't know anything further. Last edited by YubYub; 01-14-2008 at 05:18 PM. |
