Ughhhhhhhhh.......may Aunt deals w/ that w/ a small dog. The dog has needed surgery once because of a stone. They follow up w/ having her urine tested and a special diet. They might have to do several tests, (apparently they send the crystals away for analysis), before they get the diet right. Then back to monitoring.... Not fun...

I thought crystals in the urine was a cat thing? Sharon Stuart & Sharon Birch Edale German Shepherds Tofield, Alberta.
