Abstract
Urethral obstruction in a three-year-old spayed crossbred terrier bitc h is described. The patient presented after 12 hours of anuria followi ng a week of dysuria and haematuria. Urethral catheterisation and retr ograde urethral lavage. were used to retropulse the urethroliths into the bladder before they were surgically removed. Recovery was uneventf ul and the calculi were found to be predominantly magnesium ammonium p hosphate with some calcium oxalate. The management of urolithiasis is discussed.
