Epidemiologic evaluation of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in dogs in the United States: 2010‐2015

Background Positive health implications of early recognition of calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis include increased opportunity for nonsurgical removal, early dietary modification to minimize urolith growth, early removal to avoid urinary obstruction, and early recognition of genetic and metabolic...

Description
Summary:Background Positive health implications of early recognition of calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis include increased opportunity for nonsurgical removal, early dietary modification to minimize urolith growth, early removal to avoid urinary obstruction, and early recognition of genetic and metabolic diseases before they contribute to additional morbidity. Objectives To identify high‐ and low‐risk dog breeds for CaOx uroliths and to determine the relationship of age and sex to the development of CaOx uroliths. Animals Calcium oxalate urolith submissions between 2010 and 2015. Methods A comparative cross‐sectional study was conducted to identify high‐ and low‐risk breeds for CaOx uroliths by comparing cases to multiple comparison groups. At‐risk breeds were identified if odds ratios were significant (P value
