Shiba Inu (detail introduction)
Dog bladder stones are common urinary tract diseases for dogs. In the early stage, you can see the sediment of the crystal in the urine under the microscope. The cause of dog bladder stones is not very clear, but it is generally considered to be related to feed and drinking water. Xiaobian analyzes the cause of dog bladder stones from the following five aspects.
I. Environmental factors: In the environment where the climate is dry and long -range, it is evaporated by Ding high temperature body fluid. In addition, the hydration is not timely, which can condense the urine urine, which is favorable for the formation of stones. Essence In addition, the seasons, water sources, and water quality in different regions can affect the incidence of stone.
2. Diets factor: Foods with chicken liver, pork liver or beef, lean pork, and high -animal protein die can be fed for a long time, which will cause the phosphorus calcium ratio in the feed The level of phosphorus in serum and urine increases, which increases the incidence of urinary stones.
Third, the urinary system infection factors: The urinary system is infected with bacterial infections, causing the urethral epithelium damage to cause the epithelial cells to fall off and the tube type, resulting in the core of the stones. In addition, the stimulus of vitamin A deficiency or the use of estrogen and surgical header can also cause epithelial cells to fall off, resulting in the core of stones. These factors are the incentives to form urine stones. If the relative balance of the salt crystals and colloids in the urine is destroyed, the salt crystals in the urine will continue to be referred to and attached to the core foreign body to form stones.
Four, drinking water factors: The ratio of bladder urethral stones that do not like to drink water or insufficient drinking water. Insufficient drinking water leads to the concentration of urine, so that the stones in the urine are too saturated, it is more likely to form crystal precipitation, which can further increase the probability of stones.
Five, gender factor: In general, the clinical incidence of male bladder urethral stones is higher than that of the female dog. Unable to exclude or stay in the urethra, so clinical dogs often occur at the same time with bladder stones and urethral stones.
