Abstract EN
A higher frequency of canine silica urolithiasis is found in Mexico, unlike <1–8% in other countries.
The causes and risk factors for this pathology are unknown.
However, we consider the consumption of high amounts of silica from the solid diet or dissolved in water as the only hypothesis.
This study aimed to identify the risk factors for silica urolithiasis in dogs from Mexico.
A total of 1383 clinical cases of canine urolithiasis were included in this study; the uroliths were analyzed to determine their mineral composition by stereoscopic microscopy and infrared spectroscopy.
Of these cases, 12.94% were considered pure silica uroliths; however, considering the mixed and compound uroliths, the frequency increased to 17.42%.
Male dogs aged >6 years and large breeds, especially Labradors and Golden retrievers, were at significant risk for this disease.
98.88 % of the clinical cases studied were found in the central axis of the country, considering this finding as a possible geographical risk factor to be analyzed in another study.
