Relationship of nutritional factors to the cause, dissolution, and prevention of canine uroliths

C A Osborne et al. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 1989 May.

Abstract

Nutritional factors play a variable role in the etiopathogenesis of canine struvite, ammonium urate, cysteine, calcium oxalate, and silica uroliths. Knowledge of these factors allows modification of diets to promote dissolution of selected minerals within uroliths.
