He was on science diet for a while to help with the stones and he got down to about 85lbs or so. I had to have him neutered and I don't feed him raw anymore. He forms cysteine bladder stones and theres a chance he can't handle the protein of a raw diet.

I would never have known he had any health problems. Glad he's better -- and many, many more years of good health to come!

And I completely agree with Connie - best smile EVAH! Glad to hear he's over his health issues too, I wasn't even aware he was sick, but he looks like he bounced back indeed. Hope that young pup knows he has big footprints to follow! ~Natalya

There are no definate answers. Its something he'll always have, just hopefully he'll be like the large majority of dogs with it and never have another problem.
