Abstract

Five-year-old male pug dog with a month-long history of dribbling of urine, anorexia, dehydration,
and abdominal pain was comprehensively examined. Radiography and abdominal ultrasonography, identified
condition as urinary bladder calculi. Urine analysis suggested urolith type and bacterial infection involvement. A
large struvite calculus was removed from the bladder through cystotomy. The dog was placed on a modified diet
and the dog had uneventful recovery with no recurrence in 3 months period.
