Mineralisation in kidney and stomach of beagle dogs.
Histological examination of 753 Beagle dogs showed renal foci of calcification in 27.9% of males and 21.5% of females. In contrast, stomach calcification was observed in 6.2% of males and 5.2% of females examined. It is suggested that the focal calcification seen in both organs was possibly of dietary origin and may have been related to the phosphate content.
