kidney stones on dogs

s difficult to know what might have come first, the deterioration of kidney function or the kidney stones, which may have lead to the loss of kidney function. Of course, not all dogs have kidney stones, even those with kidney failure, so it's certainly not a straightforward debate. You may be right about green tripe and acidic stones though ...

Urinary tract infection, kidney stones or bladder stones. Definitely need to get your pup to a vet. These are all very painful conditions that require medical care. There is nothing you can do at home to help it.

My cat has a large stone in her bladder and a small one in her kidney she is on Hills CD food and antibiotics right now I"m not sure if I should wait a couple of months to see if the bladder stone dissolves or just have it removed now? They said they can't remove the kidney stone but they can remove the bladder stone, but I don't know how the kidney stone is going to effect her health in the future.

It would be a good idea to take him to the vet to be evaluated because if he has more stones in his stomach they can cause a serious problem. I have known dogs who have eaten stones who have needed surgery to remove them. Please don't wait, this could get dangerous depending on what kind of stones, how big and how many of them he has in there. Please keep us updated on his progress.

Hi there...There's a link posted earlier that may help you get started....It's on the second page of this forum & it's titled: "Not a Question, Info. on Renal Disease". Posted on April 12th....It speaks about food for dogs with renal problems... I agree w/you.....I wouldn't do the Prescription Diets either.......Check out this post and see what you think...Come back and let me know.....Surely, we can find you a grain free food.....What is he eating now?

My aussie started hiding today,which is what my boxer did the day he died,he is in so much pain that he groans all day,I tried Tramadol last night but had no effect on the pain. Can dogs take morphine when they have kidney failure?

Can we do anything to get rid of the calcium deposits? Could the calcium be kidney stones? Is renal advanced (the powder supplement) really important for her to take? My vets are clueless. They can't tell me anything. We are crazy about our Pookee.

They can become elevated if there is a urinary tract infection, a kidney infection or a prostate infection, or the elevations can be caused by damage to the kidney (either kidney disease or kidney failure). A urinalysis with a microalbuminuria test will determine if it is an infection or kidney failute. Lyme disease can commonly effect the kidneys also causing kidney failure. So if it has not been performed yet I would have your dog's urine tested and perform a lyme disease test.

My shitzu dog is 7 years old and has kidney stones and allergies.He also has high cholesterol(Cushings' disease suspected). He weighs about 10 lbs. Is it safe for me to give him omega 3 capsules and what should be the dosage? Thank you, Mrs.

s both have had stones removed,1 dog has the Calcium Oxilate stones and is on UD the other has the Struvite stones and is on CD. Both dogs are very unhappy with their food,Especially the dog on UD. I have been boiling rice and adding a big dob on each meal. Reading some of the blogs has me worried that even the rice will do them harm . I'm going to try the sweet potato dried for a treat tomorrow,My dog on the UD is drinking more water so that's good.

I beg to differ on the necessity for only canned food, Our own dog with kidney issues is on kibble and canned food as many, many other dogs I know of with renal issues. I do add some water to the food but as long as the dog is drinking fluids, kibble can certainly be fed.

Hello. Dogs not eating is typical of kidney disease. The reason is due to several things, each one can be the culprit, or all of them can be. It ranges from nausea to acid-reflux and even kidney or bladder stones. Sometimes different medications and supplements can cause nausea too. Please have a read of my article on this subject, as it might offer you some help ... you will find it at http://www.infobarrel.

First, you need to have a Vet rule out any Urinary Tract Infection and/or Bladder/Kidney Stones causing the urination...If all medical issues are clear, then retraining is next....Most times older dogs have a fixable reason to suddenly start peeing in the house......

hi, Do you feel any symptoms such as pain in the back or flank area? Shadows in a kidney ultrasound can show the presence of a stone. This is because sound waves cannot pass through a stone, thus, it "casts a shadow" on the ultrasound picture.

It states that it can dissolve stones in 3-6 months. There are testimonials from people who had their dogs checked/xrayed after they were diagnosed with stones and given the herbal medicine for 3 months or so. Anyone know about this or is it a scam?

Hi my husband has been suffering from kidney stones for 20 years now and his last bout was September 2013 were he had yet another blockage which had to be removed in October after a stent being inserted again. Ct scan after op in October 2013 showed another 2 x 2mm stones in left kidney always same kidney. He took renal colic pain beginning of March 2014 and got an emergency appointment with consultant who organised ultrasound.

Please help me my mom has had mutiplaying kidney stones now for about a year on both sides of her kidneys, which also are causing blockage. She has had a history of kidney stones but not so many at the same time.

Yea. I'm 25+4 and getting a nesting mood. ***** bc I just got outta the hospital on the 31st bc of kidney stones and a kidney infection and I'm still in a bit of pain so it's hard to do everything.

Hi. I have had stones for over 30 years and only over the past 5 years had the symptoms you describe. Is the stone exiting the right kidney? <<<<"along with the pain I now have on my right side" = FLANK PAIN. Please google it and see if it matches up to the pain on the side. Is this your first stone? You need to do 24 hour urines and have the stone analyized, VERY important. DRINK DRINK DRINK ALL THE WATER YOU POSSIBLY CAN FORCE IT.

Anyway this is only my second time dealing with them even though it is only a few weeks apart, and would apprechiate any info you have on the subject. I still have about 5 stones in my right kidney so i am sure i will be dealing with this often. I will definately keep in touch, and if i can ever be of help to you just let me know.

So ive been experiencing kidney stones. I had done at 19 weeks passed one now at 27 weeks I have more. They also told me besides the blood in my urine I have too much protein. Not really sure what this means, they are checking for infections but im still waiting on results. I go in for my glucose test and an ultra sound on my kidneys on Thursday. Anyone else experience any of this?

My wife picked me up some depends to wear at night but as soon as I put them on I pee in them so here Iam 3am sitting on the toilet with pee just dripping out of my penis is there anything I can do ??

I have a male friend who's been dealin w/ kidney stones for about a year quite now. He's on medi-cal in CA & he's not gettin anywhere w/ doctor's. He's been waitin for 1 mo. now for a referral to see a specialist & in the mean time his symptoms seems to be gettin more serious.

Your dog may or may not have kidney issues, but the trembling, (shaking) you are describing, is a sign of pain or discomfort. Your dog really needs to be evaluated by a vet. Please insist on bloodwork to determine your dogs kidney and liver functions. ALL Senior dogs should have these evaluations done yearly. Please get him to the vet ASAP and let us know what you find out. Best wishes,..

UTI can also be due to the polycystic kidney disease as well. Kidney stones and kidney failure are late-stage symptoms of the disease. I suggest you an immediate urologist’s evaluation. If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option. Also her renal functions need to be studied.
