Dog
Many dogs will have urethral stones when they get older, and some dogs will appear even when they enter the old age. Although this is a relatively common disease, the diseased dog will feel very painful because of this disease. The editor will tell you the main cause of the dog's urethral stones.
1. Factors of the urinary system infection
The urinary system of the dog suffers from some germs (such as Staphylococcus, Transformers, etc.), causing the urethra epithelium to cause the epithelial cells to remove the litter, and The formation of tube type leads to the core of stones; in addition, the stimulus of vitamin A is deficiency or the use of estrogen and surgical header can also cause epithelium to fall off, resulting in the core of stones; these factors are the incentives of urethral stones.
If the relative balance between the salt crystals and colloids in the urine is destroyed, the salt crystals in the urine will continue to produce and attach it to the core foreign body to form stones.
2. Drinking water factors
The ratio of bladder urethral stones that do not like to drink water or drink lack of water will be higher. The stone crystals in the liquid are in a saturated state, which is more likely to form crystalline precipitation, which can further increase the opportunity of stones.
Third, individual factors such as varieties, gender, sterilization
In general, the clinical incidence of male dogs for bladder urethra will be higher than that of female dogs. The structure causes the dog's urinary tract to be relatively long, adding the opportunity to form stones, and male dogs often occur at the same time with bladder stones and urethral stones at the same time.
In addition, the incidence of urinary stones in dogs with sterilization will also be higher, which may be caused by urethral obstruction after sterilization.
Different varieties of dogs and stones are also different. For example, the prevalence of urine stones such as Beijing dogs, Shih Shi, and Aibagine will also be relatively high. It is easy to deposit the crystals in the urine, which is the same as people. Everyone may know that some people have urine stones. In the case of less serious cases, a solution is to make the patient jump, it sounds ridiculous, but it is really useful.
