Aftermath of canine bladderstone surgery?

my 6 year old yolksheir terrier had a bladderstone (size of a quarter) removed recently. after 2 months, she is bleeding and little pebbles are coming out of her vagina. (she is neutered) she does not have problem with frequent peeing though. after the little stone came out, she is not bleeding anymore. it this common after surgery? how can i prevent this? what can i do? do i need to pay another $800 for another surgery???
Answers:
Was the stone tested to see what it was composed of? She should have been placed on a special food to avoid the stones from occurring again. She probably had a urinary tract infections as well. Was she treated with antibiotics. If these things weren't done, I would question the veterinarian you went to. Take your previous x-rays, bloodwork, etc. and get a 2nd opinion ASAP.
