KMgP uroliths · Kalium-Magnesium-Phosphat-Harnsteine · KMgP-Harnsteine · Struvite-like uroliths
This is an extremely rare condition where unusual mineral stones made of potassium magnesium phosphate form within the dog's urinary tract. These stones can irritate the lining of the bladder and kidneys, potentially obstructing the normal flow of urine. It is a complex condition with no currently available genetic tests.
Owners typically notice signs of urinary distress in middle-aged dogs, including straining to urinate, blood in the urine, or frequent attempts to urinate. If a stone completely blocks the urinary tract, it can quickly become a life-threatening emergency.
While treatable through surgical removal or flushing of the stones, management typically requires a lifelong specialized diet and regular veterinary monitoring to prevent recurrence. The estimated cost for treatment ranges from 600 to 3500 EUR.
