I agree with everyone as well. I got scared when brown pee became red spot pee. I took him to my vet and did x-ray and found 2 particles in his bladder. They cant determine till they do a ultrasound. It is definately some kind of stone. Dr. said it can be either:

(1) "Struvite" bladder stones which can literally be treated medically with a food called Hills S/D. or
(2) Calcium Oxalate - only treatment for these uroliths is surgical removal.

They suggest my little one do a cystotomy. And found out that it was a Calcium Oxalate. Now he is on a S/O Diet (Royal Canine Urinary) type of diet.

i dont want to scare anyone but you can check out the link of the surgery and information on bladder stones.
