Guest kelley35 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Is surgery is the best option to treat kidney stones in a 5 year old female grey? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated - thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I think that's too broad a question for anyone to answer intelligently. What kind of stones? What sort of symptoms is your dog having? What tests have been run? What treatments have you tried already? No experience personally, but I bet there is more than one person on the board who can help with more information!

Batmom Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Have stones been visualized by x-ray and/or ultrasound? Depending on type, small stones can sometimes be dissolved with a special prescription diet. Larger stones need to be surgically removed.

JJNg Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Still another question to clarify - are you talking about kidney stones or bladder stones? Surgery to remove bladder stones is pretty routine; kidney stones are a different story.
