She does not have fleas, and I've tried bathing her, using medicated wipes, and giving her Benadryl. There are no preexisting medical conditions. What should I do?

My dog, Harrison, age 3, has been experiencing a brown/pink discharge from his penis for the third time. The vet prescribed antibiotics twice, which helped temporarily, but the issue returns after he lays on the grass. The vet suspects bladder stones due to traces of crystals found in his urine. The dog's behavior, including energy levels, bathroom habits, play, and eating, remains normal. What should be the next steps to diagnose and address this issue?
