We found blood in my dogs urine. We took her to the vet and they did an x-ray and blood work and saw kidney stones. They said she requires surgery to remove them. I am looking for a second opinion as the price quote for surgery is extremely high.

    Hello,
    There are some bladder stones that will dissolve with a prescription diet. You can ask about this to try. I also put these dogs on an antibiotic. The down side to waiting is that you will have to take another Xray later to see if there are less stones or smaller stones. You also have to stay on the diet life long. The other concern is that a stone can lodge in the base of the bladder and act as a plug and make it difficult or impossible to urinate. This becomes an emergency and this can also be very costly. You can also seek this surgery elsewhere. Another clinic might be less expensive. The stones can also be sent for free to the Minnesota uriolith lab. Ask your vet about this.
