Expert Answer

With timely treatment, a Teddy’s urinary stones are usually curable and do not affect lifespan. Mild cases can pass stones by flushing the urethra and acidifying urine, then ensure enough water to lower recurrence.

If stones severely block the urethra, it easily triggers acute kidney failure and azotemia, and the dog may die within days, so treat promptly.
