    miniature schnauzer- diet and bladder stones

    Hi everyone I have a lovely 6yo miniature german schnauzer; she just had surgery for stones in her bladder. Now she is on a special diet Urinary SO. I was wondering if someone else has had the same problem is it possible to feed my little one with home made food? thank you for your help

     I am also on a bichon forum.  One woman on there, her little girl has had surgery 3 times in 2 years for stones.  After the first surgery, the owner did loads of online research and tried home cooking with supplements.  Stones reappeared in lass than 6 months and that was the 2d surgery.  So she now believes the presscription food is the only way for her doggie.  She still home cooks for her other bichon.  She also had the urine tested once a month as her girl is so high risk now.
