Urinary stones are a common cause of lower urinary tract disease in cats and dogs.
From catheterising obstructive uroliths to performing contrast imaging studies to advising clients about dissolution diets, nurses can use so many skills when caring for these patients.
But to successfully treat them and plan great care, we need to know exactly what urolith our patient has and the treatment they respond to - which is precisely what we’ll be chatting about in today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast!
