Abstract
Dietary management, urease inhibition and antibiotic treatment can control growth and recurrence of infection stones. Although urease inhibition and antibiotic treatment have also induced stone dissolution in a few patients, complete dissolution by these means is not common. Recently a stone dissolution (S/D) diet (Table 1) combined with antibiotic treatment has been shown to induce rapid dissolution of experimental and spontaneous infection stones in the dog1. Flurofamide is a novel potent urease inhibitor, excreted in the active form in the urine2. We compared the relative supersaturation of struvite (RSS) in urine when the S/D diet, flurofamide, and antibiotic treatment, alone or in combination, were given to dogs with experimental infection stone disease.
