Experience with dog prone to bladder stones?

My dog is prone to getting urolithiasis. The kind of bladder stones she gets is struvite. Anyways, she has been a prescription diet for years now and doesnt seem to be getting any nutrition on it (other than it's keeping her alive being that a few key ingredients are absent from it)

I was wondering if going raw for her would cure her problem of getting bladder stones in the first place and maybe those problems with excess protien, magnesium abd phosphorus would go away altogether?

Any one with any ideas or knowledge of something similar to this?

Bladder stones and diet change

We had a lot of trouble with bladder stones with our Hannah (a Cairn terrier), including an instances of acute retention which could have killed her, but a change of diet to a bland and natural one seem to solve the problem on a life long basis. Most vets seem to favour a change of diet.

For a description of Hannah's problems and details of her case history please see -
