Epidemiological Investigation And Case Analysis Of Canine Urinary Calculi In Urumqi

Urolithiasis is one of the common clinical diseases in dogs.The main clinical symptoms of the disease are dysuria,painful urination,increased frequency of urination,hematuria and urinary occlusion.The cause of the disease is related to age,sex,environment,diet,hormone and heredity.Therefore,in order to understand the incidence and incidence of canine urolithiasis in Urumqi,provide the best program for the treatment and prevention of canine urolithiasis in this region,reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease,investigation and analysis of the incidence of canine urolithiasis in Urumqi become inevitable.The 55 cases of canine urolithiasis in this study originated from some animal hospitals in Urumqi.By recording the clinical diagnosis and incidence,the correlation between canine urolithiasis and dog species,age,sex,diet and other factors was analyzed;the composition of canine stones could be analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and chemical qualitative analysis to study the types of multiple stones;the urine composition and the formation of main urinary stones in dogs fed with different dog foods were analyzed to analyze the correlation between canine urolithiasis and dog foods.Study Results:The results of case statistics analysis showed that dogs aged 5-11 years had the highest probability of suffering from canine urolithiasis,accounting for 67.3%of the total number of cases;among them,multi-breed hybrid dogs,Pomeranian dogs and Schnauzer were predominant;the incidence rate of male dogs(34 cases/61.8%)was higher than that of bitches(21 cases/38.2%).The main clinical symptoms were abdominal pain(15 cases/27.3%),urinary frequency(21 cases/38.2%),hematuria(11 cases,20%)and urinary occlusion(5 cases,9%);the main site of the disease was in the bladder(32 cases/32%),bladder and urethra(11 cases/11%);42 cases were treated surgically,and 13 cases were selected for euthanasia or conservative treatment.Later,6 cases of surgically treated dogs developed secondary stones.The main stone components were phosphate stones,calcium oxalate stones and urate stones,and the most were complex stones.According to the analysis of dog urine composition by different dog food,the occurrence of canine urolithiasis is related to diet structure.Study Conclusion:(1)The urolithiasis of dogs in Urumqi is related to the dietary structure and feeding habits of dogs in this area.Dogs in this area have a single dietary structure,insufficient water intake,and less exercise time,resulting in a long-term intake of unbalanced diets,while decreasing the duration and frequency of dog urination,increasing the risk of urolithiasis in dogs.(2)the incidence of urolithiasis regardless of age,dogs of any age may be at risk of urolithiasis;the treatment of urolithiasis cases is selected according to the dog’s body condition and the site of the disease,surgical treatment is the best treatment for urolithiasis,but surgical treatment does not eradicate the cause of urolithiasis.After the operation,it is necessary for the owner to strengthen the management of the dog’s diet,raise the dog scientifically and provide balanced nutrition;provide the dog with sufficient water intake,increase the dog’s exercise capacity,urination frequency and urination time;observe the color and transparency of urine excreted by the dog,and at the same time,do a good job in cleaning to prevent urinary tract infection.(3)The formation of urolithiasis is related to diet,water,sex,climate,urinary tract infection and other factors,of which dietary habits are the most important.There are many types of urinary stones,of which magnesium ammonium phosphate,calcium oxalate and uric acid stones are the most common.However,the formation of different types of stones is related to the content of different proteins,fat levels,and the ionic balance in the diet.So feed scientifically,provide enough vitamins,make sure you have enough clean water,proper activities,etc.After avoiding and reducing the external factors that may form stones in dogs,regular examinations should be performed to detect early intervention and early treatment to reduce the possibility of urolithiasis in dogs.
