"Show the owner the x-ray and explain about kidney stones and bone metabolism and how to treat this disorder."

Nope!   Good idea to explain the x-rays to the owner but what gave you any idea the dog has a problem with bone metabolism?  If it did, the bony changes would be widespread, not localized to the hock area of one leg.  And what's that reference to kidney stones all about?
