“…Nos coelhos, os sinais clínicos de urolitíase dependem da localização do urólito e incluem letargia, dor, anorexia, perda de peso, poliúria, anúria, estrangúria, hematúria, postura curvada, bruxismo, polidipsia, incontinência, diminuição da produção fecal, depressão e pododermatite (WHITE, 2001;HARCOURT-BROWN, 2002; BROWN, 2011; QUESENBERRY; CARPENTER, 2012; PROENÇA; MAYER, 2014). Os animais podem apresentar uma combinação de cálculos em localização renal, ureteral, vesical e uretral, e os mais comuns são os vesicais (HARCOURT- BROWN, 2002;QUESENBERRY;CARPENTER, 2012;MACHADO et al, 2014;PROENÇA;MAYER, 2014;PINTO-FILHO et al, 2016;KUCERA et al, 2017).…”

RESUMO A urolitíase é uma doença comum em coelhos, caracterizada pela presença de cálculos ou urólitos no sistema urinário. Os cálculos geralmente são constituídos por carbonato de cálcio, sendo os vesicais os mais comuns. O diagnóstico pode ser confirmado por meio de radiografias, onde se identifica o cálculo radiopaco. Devido a um mecanismo de absorção de cálcio exclusivo dos lagomorfos, uma parte importante do tratamento e prevenção desta doença consiste na correção da dieta. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar o caso de um coelho macho, de cinco anos de idade e pesando 2,9kg, que apresentava dificuldade para urinar e defecar, apetite pervertido e urinava em locais não usuais. Ao exame físico, observou-se dor à palpação abdominal, urina concentrada e tenesmo. Foram solicitados exames laboratoriais e radiografia de abdome, encontrando-se na vesícula urinária um urólito liso ovalado medindo 13 mm x 6 mm. O animal não foi submetido a cirurgia, e no decorrer de tratamento clínico o urólito acabou por ser expelido de forma espontânea. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: cálcio, lagomorfos, sistema urinário, urolitíase.

“…The highest occurrence is in young animals castrated before sexual maturity, hindering the hormonal influence necessary for the penis to reach full size (Kahn and Line, 2010). Urolithiasis affects 5-15% of the population worldwide and recurrence rates are close to 50% (Machado et al, 2014). Urolithiasis has no geographic distribution, and the different urolith types reflect the mineral distribution of the feed (Kahn and Line, 2010).…”

Obstructive urolithiasis is the retention of urine subsequent to the lodgement of calculi in the urinary tract from the kidney up to the urethral orifice. This report describes the post-mortem and chemical analysis findings of the calculi in an 18-month old Ouda-Yankasa cross ram presented at the Large Animal Clinic of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. The patient was presented on 20th of March, 2013 with reports of anorexia, disinclination to drink water and anuria that developed four days before presentation at the clinic. On clinical examination, urethral blockage and mild ascites were observed. Cystocentesis was performed to relieve the patient and plain radiograph taken but was not diagnostic. The patient died before definitive diagnosis was made for rational treatment. The post-mortem findings include frothy exudate in the trachea and bronchial airways, congestion of the lungs, hydroperitoneum with recovered fluid measuring 2,350 ml, splenomegaly, hydronephrosis, distended urinary bladder, severe haemorrhagic cystitis, urinary calculi in the bladder and throughout the urethral length and urethral stricture. The urinary calculi recovered were white, friable and amorphous, ranging from small particles to 5mm in diameter. Histopathologic section of the kidney showed atrophied glomeruli. It can thus be concluded that the atrophied glomeruli in turn impaired glomerular filtration which invariably pre-disposed the patient to uraemia leading to its death. The chemical analysis of the calculi showed that the calculi was either oxalate, phosphate or silicate, or any of these mixtures.

Obstructive urolithiasis is urine retention due to the calculi lodgment in the urinary tract. Thus, treatment of urolithiasis is basically to establish normal urinary passage, which can be accomplished in various ways depending on the severity of the condition. This case report describes surgical management of urolithiasis through penile amputation in a five-year-old local breed bull that was brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Addis Ababa University, Bishoftu Ethiopia with a complaint of difficulty in passing urine that had developed certain days before presentations. Upon presentation, the animal was found to be dull and depressed, and tail wringing, stamping the feet, kicking at the abdomen, and stretching were observed. On clinical examination per rectal palpation, the urinary bladder was distended. Based on the history and rigorous clinical examination the case was tentatively diagnosed as obstructive urolithiasis. Then penile amputation was performed through a post-scrotal approach after aseptic preparation and controlling of the animal in the appropriate position. Fortunately, after surgery, the animal was urinated continuously and postoperative follow-up and complications were recorded. Finally, the bull was uneventfully recovered and the skin suture was removed on the 15th day of the operation.
