Hidronefrosis e hidrouréter unilateral secundaria a litiasis ureteral derecha en un canino de raza schnauzer miniatura.

Abstract

Hydronephrosis and unilateral hydroether secondary to right ureteral lithiasis in a Schnauzer canine. The case of an un-neutered six-year-old Miniature Schnauzer breed canine, referred to the Animalcenter clinic, with symptoms of vomiting, decay and acute abdominal pain was presented. Diagnostic tests such as: clinical examination, blood count, blood biochemistry, uroanalysis,

abdominal ultrasound and abdominal radiography were done to the dog. The ultrasound examination was essential to establish the definitive diagnosis of hydronephrosis and unilateral hydraether of the right kidney due to ureteral obstruction caused by a nephrolite. Initially, a hospital pharmacological treatment was established without positive results, because of this it was decided to perform a total nephrectomy of the right kidney and a cystostomy to remove the stones; which were sent to study to determine their composition. As a result, it was possible to stabilize the patient, then a renal prescription diet was recommended to prevent recurrences and thus provide a better quality of life.
