Clinical, Laboratory, Radiographic, Ultrasonographic Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Urolithiasis: Study Carried Out of Ten Cats
Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to present the results of diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract urolithiasis in 10 cats brought to our clinic. Ten cats with urinary tract complaint used for the study. Urolithiasis diagnosis was made through urine analysis, direct and indirect radiography and ultrasonographic findings. Eight cases were applied operative procedure and two cases were administered medical treatment. Accomplishment was gained with chalcolithic diet and infection control along with operative procedure in two of four cats with struvite urolith. Urethrotomy, cystotomy and urohydropropulsion were performed to remove calcium oxalate, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and ammonium urate urolith. Pets were postoperatively controlled on the 30th day in order to check whether uroliths were reappeared. In this study, it was found that frequency of uroliths in descending order may be sorted as struvite, calcium oxalate, ammonium urate, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. Consequently for the diagnosis of urolithiasis, it is required to evaluate urine pH, crystalluria, hematuria, urine leukocyte values and stone analysis along with the results obtained from direct positive contrast radiography and ultrasonography. Operative approach is indicated for urolith cases and post-operative special diets and medical treatment according to urolith type prevent relapse.
