Struvite uroliths are found more frequently than other types of uroliths in the urinary tracts of dogs. Medical dissolution of struvite uroliths with a Swedish calculolythic diet has been evaluated. The palatability of the diet was good and only two out of a total of 69 dogs in the study could not be maintained on the diet because of diarrhea. In 19 of 33 dogs medically treated, the uroliths were dissolved over a period of one to 6 months (mean time 2.5 months). In the remaining dogs uroliths were surgically removed, and calculolytic diet was postoperatively given. Consumption of the calculolytic diet was in most cases associated with a lowered specific gravity and pH of the urine. A representative case report of medical dissolution of struvite uroliths located in the urinary bladder of a 9 year-old female cocker spaniel with a history of recurrent urolithiasis is described. It is concluded that the Swedish calculolytic diet can be used successfully to dissolve struvite in adults dogs.
在犬类尿道中，鸟粪石尿石症比其他类型的尿石症更为常见。人们已经对使用瑞典溶石饮食对鸟粪石尿石症进行医学溶解进行了评估。该饮食的适口性良好，在研究的总共69只狗中，只有两只因为腹泻而无法维持该饮食。在接受医学治疗的33只狗中，有19只的尿石在1至6个月的时间内溶解（平均时间为2.5个月）。其余的狗则通过手术取出尿石，并在术后给予溶石饮食。在大多数情况下，食用溶石饮食与尿液比重和pH值降低有关。本文描述了一例9岁雌性可卡犬膀胱内鸟粪石尿石症医学溶解的代表性病例报告，该犬有复发性尿石症病史。得出的结论是，瑞典溶石饮食可以成功用于溶解成年犬的鸟粪石。
