Abstract

La formación de cálculos urinarios es un problema clínico importante en perros. Existen diferencias en la tendencia de presentar litiasis entre diversas razas. Se presenta un caso de litiasis recidivante en un cachorro, macho, Schnauzer miniatura, que a los dos meses de edad presentó hematuria y disuria por obstrucción de vías urinarias asociada a
etiología litiásica. El cachorro expulsó urolitos en dos ocasiones, a los tres y siete meses de edad. El análisis morfológico de estos cálculos mostró que el primero estaba formado por Carbapatita (fosfato de calcio carbonatado cristalizado) correspondiente al tipo morfológico IVa1 y los cálculos del segundo episodio presentaban una combinación del tipo IVa1 + IIa, este último tipo morfológico formado por Weddellita (oxalato de calcio dihidratado). Los análisis de orina mostraron pH 6 a 7,5, con bacterias y cristales de fosfato triple en dos muestras y de oxalato de calcio en una muestra del total de seis
analizadas. Se administró antibióticos para controlar infecciones urinarias en ambos episodios litiásicos. El manejo nutricional consistió en alimentación con balanceado especial para perros con litiasis desde los 2 hasta los 7 meses de edad. Luego del
segundo episodio litiásico se evitaron los balanceados y se alimentó al cachorro con pollo hervido y verduras. Desde la instauración del nuevo régimen nutricional, hace ya más de un año, no se han observado cristales en las muestras de orina, ni se refieren síntomas urinarios en el cachorro hasta la fecha.
