Dear Judy (TOA PAYOH VETS)
Greeting
from Bangkok. I am seeking the second opinion about stone in dog's
bladders. My dog has CaOx stones in his bladders and already operated 2
times
I wonder whether Dr Sing Kong Yuen can
give me the advise about how to prevent or reduce the recurrence of the
stone. FYI, I already manage to give urinary dietary (Hills C/d) and
also drink lots of water (500ml). So i just want to explore more other
ways to prevent it in detail
If
Dr Sing Kong Yuen can give the advice about this, can I meet him on Sat Oct 13 around 3.00 pm?
Can I also know how much is the consulting fee?

ADVICES
To
prevent URINARY stones recurring:
1. the dog should be regularly monitored, using urine testing and either X-rays or ultrasound examination to look for new small stones. These small stones can be removed by voiding urohydropropulsion or treated with diet to dissolve them (e.g. struvites), without surgery.
2. Most prescription diets are safe for long-term feeding but a few are low in certain nutrients like calcium. Regular blood test is necessary.
3. For dogs predisposed to urate stone formation, e.g. Dalmatians with high uric acid, dogs with liver shunts, a low purine prescription diet e.g. U/D must be fed.
