_Symptoms._ A white or brownish yellow deposit in the last urine
discharged collects on the floor. Cloudy urine. Passage of
crystals—round—or angular. Colic. Lameness in one or both hind limbs.
Arched back. Sensitive loins. Pain paroxysmal. Attempts to urinate.
Little passed but often with drops of blood. Sudden relief when the
calculus enters the bladder.
Retained in the kidney it may cause no suffering in meat producing
animals, but in horses it usually causes stiffness or lameness
especially under violent effort. Also hematuria; blood globules are
found in the deposit when placed under the microscope. There may be
sepsis and specially cloudy offensive urine.
_Diagnosis_: May be confounded with renal tuberculosis, or sarcoma or
oxaluria. Examine for bacillus, small cells, or oxalate of lime or
oxalic acid.
_Prophylaxis._ In the early stages give succulent, watery food,
ensilage, roots, potatoes, spring grass, and water ad libitum.
_Treatment._ Salt may tempt the patient to drink. Nitro-muriatic acid is
a solvent and antiseptic. Or alkalies with salicylate of soda. Also
tonics. Quiet pain by morphia and other anodynes. Use piperazine.
These failing, an operation on the kidney may be considered.
