I have a miniature one that had 2 operations to remove the stones. The first ones were calcium. They were very sharp and pointed. The second ones were magnesium. So My vet gave me a modified diet for the dog. I hope there is no third time.

During YEARS working at vet hospitals, I have seen some huge stones removed from Schnauzers!!!!!! 10 Schnauzers with bladder stones!!!! Quite a problem in the breed!!!!

It seems that this breed is prone to them. I know two people who had them and had stones removed.
Some need to be on a special diet restricting some of the minerals to prevent them from forming.

I had a dog who did, he wasn't a Schnauzer though. He had to have surgery. They made a new pee hole for him, he couldn't use his penis anymore.
