  • Title: Nonsurgical management of canine obstructive urolithopathy.
    Author: Osborne CA, Polzin DJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 1986 Mar; 16(2):333-47. PubMed ID: 3486517.
    Abstract:
    Obstruction to urine outflow is a common complication of urolithiasis. However, varying degrees of recovery of renal function may occur following examination of the cause of obstruction. Therefore, in the absence of conclusive evidence of irreversible dysfunction, one should consider efforts to decompress the urinary tract and to eliminate the cause of obstruction. Nonsurgical methods that may be used for management of obstructive urolithiasis include cystocentesis, palpation, urohydropropulsion, and catheterization.
