What causes the formation of a dog bladder crystal?
There are a number of causes. The presence of a urinary bladder infection could increase the risk of bladder stones significantly since infection makes it difficult for crystals, the building blocks of stones to exit the body. If your dog eats a high mineral diet and drinks very little water, it could develop bladder stones. Genetic predisposition is also one of the common causes. Certain breeds like Bulldogs, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Irish Terriers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Cocker Spaniels are genetically predisposed to bladder crystals.
