The answer to our previous post:

Bladder stones! Also known as uroliths or cystic calculi
These form slowly over time due to minerals in the urine crystallising out. First forming microscopic crystals that can then go on to bind together to form stones of various sizes and chemical compositions.
The formation of crystals and stones is influenced by diet, genetics and infections. This wee pup will be going on a special diet to prevent further crystals and stones forming.

These ones are impressively large and no doubt she will feel a lot better

Any guesses what we are looking at?
