Changing paradigms in the frequency and management of canine compound uroliths

Lisa K Ulrich et al. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2009 Jan.

Abstract

This article discusses the composition, formation, and treatment of canine compound uroliths and the importance of recognizing the unique causal factors that may be present in each individual patient. After first giving a detailed analysis of what compound uroliths are and how they form, the authors give examples and data from canine uroliths submitted between 1981 and 2007. Finally, the article discusses the importance of this data when formulating management strategies for individual patients to either dissolve existing stones or minimize urolith recurrence.
