An Insight Into Feline Urolithiasis
Feline urolithiasis is the second most frequent cause of ‘feline lower urinary tract disease’ (FLUTD) after feline idiopathic cystitis. Calcium oxalate urolithiasis accounts for approximately 55% of all uroliths in the lower urinary tract and 95% of all uroliths in the upper urinary tract. Other types of urolithiasis include struvite, ammonium urate, calcium phosphate, and cystine. Dried solidified blood calculi are a newly identified type of stone which likely forms due to inflammation in the urinary tract.
