How Long Can a Dog with Bladder Stones Live?

Bladder stones in dogs are curable, and once cured they do not affect the dog’s lifespan.

If the stones are not severe, they can usually be cured with active treatment; mild cases may be managed conservatively with prescription food, catheterization and medication to pass the stones.

But if the stones are very severe or advanced, the dog’s life is at risk, and how long it can live depends on the progression of the disease and the dog’s overall health.
