  • Title: Experimental induction of struvite uroliths in miniature schnauzer and beagle dogs.
    Author: Klausner JS, Osborne CA, O'Leary TP, Muscoplat CM, Griffith DP.
    Journal: Invest Urol; 1980 Sep; 18(2):127-32. PubMed ID: 7410023.
    Abstract:
    Urease positive staphylococcal urinary tract infection was experimentally induced in 13 dogs. Eight dogs developed cystic and/or urethral struvite calculi in 2 to 8 weeks. No abnormalities in systemic cell mediated immunity were detected in dogs before or after the establishment of the urinary tract infection. Miniature schnauzers whose ancestors had developed stones seemed to be no more susceptible to experimental urinary tract infection and stone formation than miniature schnauzers or beagles whose ancestors did not develop stones.
