  • Title: Dissolution of a struvite nephrolith in a dog.
    Author: Klausner JS, Osborne CA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1979 May 15; 174(10):1100-4. PubMed ID: 438042.
    Abstract:
    A large radiodense calculus in the left renal pelvis of a 22-month-old, male Great Dane disappeared one month following surgical removal of two struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) calculi from the right renal pelvis. The dog's urine likely became undersaturated with struvite for a sufficient period to permit dissolution of the renal calculus. Several factors may have contributed to the decrease in urine struvite concentration, including eradication of a urease-producing Proteus sp from the urinary tract and induction of polydipsia and compensatory polyuria by oral administration of sodium chloride.
