URINARY CALCULI IN A DOG. 
By C. H. Peabody, D.V.S. 
The following case was quite an interesting one to me from 
its rarity. On October 15, 1889, at 1:30 A.M., I was called to 
see a pug dog, eight years old, that could not urinate. On 
arriving at the house I found a very fat pug trying to urinate 
with great pain. 
Taking a small catheter, I passed it through the urethra, 
having some difficulty getting it through the groove in the 
oss of the penis. By patience, and a little force and injec¬ 
tions of hot water, I succeeded in entering the bladder, and 
got about 5 i of urine. The animal then, in its struggles, got 
away, and in doing so the catheter was drawn from the ure¬ 
thra. In a moment or so he made an attempt to urinate and 
passed about 5 iv of urine, and with it twenty-one small, 
round calculi. 
The next day the dog was brought to my office and with 
a small catheter and fountain syringe, I injected the bladder 
with warm water and then when he expelled the urine I got 
eight more calculi. Since that time he has been troubled 
several times, but the owner has got a catheter and now 
passes it himself. He informed me that he should think that 
there had been thirty or forty more small stones expelled.
