Abstract

Urolithiasis is a common condition in the feline clinic, characterized by the presence of urolith in any segment of the urinary tract. This study aimed to report the case of a 3 - year – old male, castrated male with two bladder uroliths, hematuria, polaquiuria, dysuria, strangury, urinary incontinence and apathy. On the ultrasound examination, the presence of two hyperechoic structures was detected in the urinary vesicle. The treatment was surgical excision, througt cystotomy. Subsequently, the calculations were sent to a qualitative laboratory evaluation, in which the composition designated triple phosphate/ struvite stones. In the postoperative period, a diet based on specific therapeutic ration for the urinary tract was recommended. After 6 months the animal showed no signs of urinary tract disease. The surgical procedure showed efficiency eliminating the symptoms resulting from the uroliths. In addition, analysis of cauculations is essential to establish proper diet and prevent recidivism.
