Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive treatments for upper urinary tract uroliths (kidney stones) are the standard in humans and this study explores their application in dogs.
- A total of 6 female dogs with various combinations of kidney and ureter stones were treated using dietary changes, antibiotics, and ureteral stenting, achieving significant urolith dissolution over several months.
- The results suggest that medical dissolution can be an effective strategy for treating struvite uroliths in dogs, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
