So, my one year old bully (whose name is Bully, btw) was diagnosed today with a bad UTI and bladder stones. The vet put him on antibiotics for the UTI and he will be having surgery Wednesday to remove the stones. The vet said once the stones are removed she will have them analyzed to try and determine our best course of action. She mentioned that we may have to put Bully on a low purine diet and distilled water to help lower his risk of developing stones again. (I do already give him filtered water from a store-bought water filter)
My question is this: Has anyone had to deal with bladder stones in their bullies? Every time I research it I get tons of information on dalmatians and bladder stones but not English bulldogs specifically. If so, what's the best commercial low-purine dog food out there? Right now I have him on Blue Basics, Grain Free Salmon & Potato but I've read that salmon isn't low-purine (not sure how true that is because I have no knowledge whatsoever in dealing with low purine diets). Any info would be greatly appreciated as well as keeping Bully in your prayers since he will be having surgery :-(
Thanks!
