Were the stones rem'd and analyzed or did she pass one? Crystals by
themselves don't always tell us the tpes of stones, sometimes they are
combinations.
The only reason I mentioned Mast cell and the rear limb weakness is because
of the side effect of degranulating mast cell tumors. I know it is a long
shot but any connection should be ruled out.
The heart, insulinoma, adrenal disease and lymphoma are the most common
causes of this problem though. Good luck and I only mentioned the Mast cell
again in reply to your other response. Let us know what happens with her, i
am always on the look out for things that I can learn to help other animals.
Take care.
