title: Etiopathogenesis of uncommon canine uroliths. Xanthine, carbonate, drugs, and drug metabolites.
abstract: Metabolic disorders, medication, and diagnostic agents may be associated with urolithiasis in dogs. Examples of uroliths that have been uncommonly encountered in dogs include xanthine, dolomite, tetracycline, and sulfonamides. Detection of these and other apparently uncommon uroliths requires a high index of suspicion and proper methods of analysis.
