Canine Oxalate Stones

My dog has been battling calcium oxalate stones. If you’d like my advice on what foods are best or how to dose potassium citrate, please read the separate canine oxalate bladder stones diagnosis/recovery post. Below are the basics of Ami’s initial symptoms so you can compare them to what your dog might be going through.

Bloody urine: purple urine, red urine, pink urine, orange urine
Swollen abdomen, or big belly, because he was so full of urine.
Runny nose
Infections: Pimples on his nose, infected eyes with swelling, ear infections, claw infections, urethral infection, pimples on his anus
Diarrhea (diarrhea, diarrheah, diarreah, diarhea, diarheah, diareah)
Cardiac arrhythmia: unusual heartbeat
Breathing issues: shallow breathing
Fever: his temperature was mostly normal, though
Painful urination or straining to pee: he never had these symptoms, but they are related to bladder stones

You can read more about Ami’s story and see photos of his recovery here.

Wow! I’m sorry you had to go through all that. Definitely good info for me to read. My mother in law is a breeder and helping us with food choices, good food for Harley. I appreciate you leaving the comment on my site to inform me.
