I can’t remember if it was that her bathroom habits noticeably changed or if she started vomiting yellowish/white foam. It was probably both but the vomiting is what had me take her in to the vet.

I just remember them calling and saying she had a bladder full of stones - most of them quarter size.

I had never heard of bladder stones in a dog and immediately started googling for info.

I don’t remember the vet being super helpful in suggesting ways to prevent it from happening and really, why she got them. Which as annoying.

Oh damn. My dog had those. I can’t remember how many she had but wow. I had no idea they looked like that!

Edit: I’m **trying think what I changed in her diet. She was always a good water drinker and on a good potty schedule. I know I changed up her dry kibble from commercial big box brand and added in a bunch of supplements. I think I added in some fresh stuff too. She was 13 when she has surgery. She lived to 18. It’s funny how quickly I’ve forgotten all the pampering and extras I used to do now that she’s gone.
