Question

If my dog has a 2mm calcium oxalate stone is it possible for it to pass in his urine. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 5 years old | 6 lbs

Certainly, it's possible that it could. But it could also become stuck in the urethra and cause a urinary blockage - if this happens, he will need to see a vet urgently to have the blockage treated as this is a life-threatening problem.
