MANAGEMENT OF URINARY OBSTRUCTION IN SMALL RUMINANTS

摘要

Urolithiasis is a disorder in small ruminants that is frequently seen in castrated males. This urinary tract disease most often involves the urethra, especially at sites where narrowing of the urethral diameter occurs, such as in the distal part of the sigmoid flexure or in the vermiform appendage (urethral process).Struvite and apetite are the more common uroliths seen in the regions of North America; however calcium carbonate uroliths have also been reported.
