Q: Do Bulldog Struvite Urinary Stones Require Surgeryâ
âĄď¸Answer: Struvite stones are common in dogs but less so in bulldogs (theyâre more prone to cystine & urate).
đ Struvite stones usually form due to infections (in bulldogs, often from the private area folds, moist dermatitis).
đ Female bulldogs rarely get blocked since their urethra is short & wide.
đ With antibiotics, hydration đ§, wipes for skin folds, and đżbully urinary and immune supplements, you might be able to manage without surgery.
 Your Bully Stone Prevention Plan:
