Presentation Description / Summary: This session will highlight recent and forthcoming urolith discoveries in veterinary medicine, including calcium tartrate tetrahydrate uroliths, how age at neutering might impact cystine urolith risk in dogs, genetic disorders causing early-onset calcium oxalate risk in dogs, and the role of the microbiome and microbiome-modifying therapies in stone disease.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to recognize unique dietary and patient risk factors for uroliths in dogs.
Upon completion, participants will be able to apply recent discoveries to their diagnostic and preventative plans for a variety of urolith types.
