Those aren’t Easter eggs, those are struvite bladder stones! When specific bacterial infections and an alkaline urine pH occur in a bladder, a perfect matrix is created for these stones to form. 85% of dogs who develop these stones are females. This sweet 13 year old girl, Sadie, was recently rescued and was diagnosed with these bladder stones. She underwent surgery to remove the stones with Dr. Moreland this week and is home recovering with her new family! Thankfully, we can use prescription diets and regular testing to help acidify the urine pH and keep these stones from recurring! 🥚🪺🐣
