Two feline littermates were diagnosed with calcium oxalate uroliths. Both had been maintained on a commercially available dry diet with reduced magnesium and urine acidifying properties. One female littermate was diagnosed by visualising the stones by radiographs while the second littermate, also female, became blocked when one of the uroliths lodged in the urethra. Two other, unrelated cats in the household, of similar age and raised under the same conditions, did not develop calcium oxalate uroliths.
两只同窝出生的猫被诊断出患有草酸钙尿石症。它们一直食用一种市售的干粮,这种干粮的镁含量较低且具有尿酸化特性。其中一只雌性同窝猫通过X光片看到结石而被诊断出来,而另一只同样是雌性的同窝猫,当其中一块尿石卡在尿道时出现了尿道阻塞。这户人家中另外两只年龄相仿且在相同条件下饲养的非亲属猫没有患上草酸钙尿石症。
