Kidney Stones & the Mini Schnauzer
  Kidney Dr. promotes kidney functioning & the urinary system What exactly are kidney stones? How are they formed? How do you treat them? And what does it all mean for your Schnauzer's health? Kidney stones are mineral deposits that form overtime. To understand why these deposits form, we must first understand how the kidneys work. Here is a simple explanation of how the kidneys work: The job of the kidneys is to maintain the balance of chemicals in your Miniature Schnauzer's blood. They do this by filtering out the excess minerals and toxins as urine. Your Miniature Schnauzer's urine drains from the kidneys into their bladder. As the bladder fills your Miniature Schnauzer gets the urge to urinate, and when he does the excess minerals and toxins are released. When the kidneys lose their ability to keep out the excess minerals, crystals begin to form. Although small at first, once a stone begins to grow in size, it can block your Miniature Schnauzer's ability to eliminate urine from the kidneys. This blockage will cause your Miniature Schnauzer severe pain and you need to seek medical attention for your Schnauzer right away.
Warning Signs of Kidney Stones - Abdominal pain
- Blood in Urine
- Difficulty Urinating
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Vomiting
Obviously, this is a serious condition and you need to take your Miniature Schnauzer to the Vet immediately, if he begins to exhibit any of these 'warning signs'.
Your Vet will do a complete blood count, urinalysis, as well as, take x-rays and preform an ultra sound on your Miniature Schnauzer. Treatment for kidney stones will vary but it will probably include putting your Miniature Schnauzer on antibiotics, fluid therapy, and/or a special diet. If your Vet can determine the underlying cause(s), (genetics, diet, medications, urinary tract infection, etc…) treating and controlling these factors may help prevent your Miniature Schnauzer from suffering any re-occurrences.
