Medical Management of Urolithiasis in Small Ruminants
نویسنده
چکیده
In small ruminants especially in caprine breeds clinical obstructive urolithiasis is most frequently seen in young males that have been castrated at an extremely young age because of marketing to the pet market rather than the production market. The stones can be composed of phosphate and calcium salts: calcium phosphate (apatite), magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite), calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate or silicate. Goats that are kept as pets are at an increased risk of obstructive urolithiasis; urolithiasis is usually secondary to the type of diet (genetic component?) and exposure to excessive grain allowing them to be extremely overweight as well.
