Doctors, medics and intelligent people out there, maybe one of you could explain why I find a lot of medications for animals when it comes to dissolving bladder stones but none for humans?
So, Are there medications with which bladderstones can be dissolved so they can be passed?

Small stones, less that 5mm or 1/4 in. will frequently pass by themselves, and so usually do not require intervention other than pain medicine, unless fever is present, symptoms are unremitting, or there is a socioeconomic reason for rapid intervention.
Uric acid stones which may be dissolved by making the urine less acid. This can be done with sodium bicarbonate or other medications, but should be done under the supervision of your urologist because of possible side affects. Allopurinol is a medication which blocks the formation of uric acid and therefore is used to prevent uric acid stones.

do you mean kidney stones? They can be zapped via technology but no meds do that job.
