  • Title: Struvite urethral calculus in a three-month-old thoroughbred colt.
    Author: Vacek JR, Macharg MA, Phillips TN, Foerner JJ, Everett KA.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1992 Jul; 82(3):275-9. PubMed ID: 1643877.
    Abstract:
    A 3-month-old Thoroughbred colt was presented with signs of colic. Findings from physical examination, abdominal paracentesis, abdominal radiographs and clinical pathology revealed uroperitoneum secondary to a calculus obstructing the urethra and causing subsequent urinary bladder rupture. Analysis of the calculus demonstrated a tissue center with outer concretions composed primarily of struvite.
