This journal article talks about the causes and treatment of feline lower urinary tract diseases. There is an entire section about bladder stones and the causes of it and treatment of it. Since the article is from a professional organization, it does take a didactic approach to explain causes of the infection. For specifically bladder stones, the article recommends dietary changes, surgery, or flushing as possible treatments for stones. There are treatment differences depending on gender for both cats and dogs.

Uroliths, or bladder stones, are a very common occurrence in the bladder and the urinary tract. It is a very common problem seen in small animal practice every day. The authors briefly list the causes of bladder stones and then go into detail about how to treat them explaining in great detail how each treatment plan works for the animal to reduce uroliths. The websites concludes by saying that prevention not treatment is the best solution so far for bladder stones.
“Uroliths are commonly referred to as "stones" and can occur in any section of the urinary tract with bladder stones being the most common. Regardless of specific type, uroliths occur when the urine becomes too concentrated with urolith precursors and the environmental conditions are appropriate for stone formation. Strategies to prevent future formation are aimed at reducing the concentration of urolith precursors and changing the environmental conditions to an unfriendly one for urolith formation. Despite extensive research in both human and veterinary medicine, perfect dietary strategies for the prevention of some uroliths have not been found and dietary efforts are geared toward reducing the frequency of …show more content…

Some dog breeds that are predisposed and that have certain characteristic make them more likely to develop stones. This study investigated the link between breed, age, gender, and other factors and the likelihood of urolith creation. The study used occurrence submissions from veterinarians and statistical analysis to determine the results of the experiment. Among some of the factors, trends did develop and new predispositions to bladder uroliths were established. Older dogs are more likely to develop uroliths. Females and males are each prone to different types of uroliths. Certain breeds like Dalmatians and English Bulldogs are more likely to develop
