In the mid-1980s there was a substantial increase in the number of calcium oxalate samples, and between 1994 and 2002, 55 percent of feline stones were calcium oxalate and 33 percent were struvite. This may have been caused by the use of dissolution diets for struvite stones in cats and modification of other diets to prevent struvite crystal ...
In any case, excessive acidification should be balanced against the risk that it could irritate the inflamed bladder wall. This could trigger recrudescence i.e. a further acute attack, as well as encouraging calcium oxalate crystal formation which forms in highly acidic urine. An acidifier should never be added to prescription urinary food as ...
15-20% of FLUTD cases are caused by uroliths ("stones") which occur when crystals which may be present in urine coalesce to form small stones. The most common types observed are struvite and calcium oxalate. [5] The majority of uroliths are located in the urinary bladder, but can also form in the kidneys, ureters and urethra.
Stage 3 (24 to 72 hours) kidney failure is the result of ethylene glycol poisoning. In cats, this stage occurs 12–24 hours after consuming antifreeze; in dogs, at 36–72 hours after consuming antifreeze. [9] During this stage, severe kidney failure is developing secondary to calcium oxalate crystals forming in the kidneys. [9]
Calcium oxalate (in archaic terminology, oxalate of lime) is a calcium salt of oxalic acid with the chemical formula CaC 2 O 4 or Ca(COO) 2. It forms hydrates CaC 2 O 4 · n H 2 O , where n varies from 1 to 3.
He then investigated dietary factors influencing the formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) and magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) uroliths in cats, finding that diets high in sodium increase the risk of CaOx uroliths while urine acidifying diets low in magnesium and phosphorus reduce the risk and enhance the dissolution of MAP uroliths.

A woman has been charged with 10 counts of animal torture after officials rescued more than 100 cats and kittens from her home in Crystal, Minnesota. After weeks of searching, authorities seized a ...
Whewellite / ˈ h juː ə l aɪ t / is a mineral, hydrated calcium oxalate, formula Ca C 2 O 4 ·H 2 O. [6] Because of its organic content it is thought to have an indirect biological origin; this hypothesis is supported by its presence in coal and sedimentary nodules. However, it has also been found in hydrothermal deposits where a biological ...
