Hi Tressie
Actually a ph of 7 is elevated. Normal ph should be 5 to 6
(ie on the acid side). Most struvite stones will show up on
an X-ray. Ultrasound would be the other way to check the
bladder for stones. The urine can be cultured to determine
what bacteria is in it and what antibiotic to use to treat it.
One thing to check for is adrenal gland disease with secondary
prostate cyst/abscess/infection. This can cause the wetness around
his prepuce and reoccurance of urination problems. An ultrasound
to check his bladder and prostate may be needed.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
