Description: Case Report
Two male dogs were presented with cystic uroliths composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite). Each had an atypical nidus, a mouse barley awn (Hordeum murinum). To our knowledge, this is the first report of grass awns located in the bladder lumen of dogs. The composition of uroliths and the pathophysiology of grass awn migration to the urinary bladder are discussed.
The authors are grateful for the help of Dr. Antonio Javier Sánchez-Rodríguez (Service of Microscopy of Universidad de León) for the scanning electron microscopy study, Prof. Felix Llamas and Prof. Carmen Acedo (Department of Botany of Universidad de León) for the grass awn identification and Dr. Edgardo Soriano-Vargas (CIESA, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México) for his editorial assistance.
