Resumo
The dissertation is divided into two chapters, the first one is a bibliographical review about urinary
lithiasis in felines and the second chapter a scientific article reporting epidemiological, clinical and
laboratory characterization of urolithiasis in felines. Urinay calculi of 42 felines attended in
Veterinary teaching Hospital of Federal University of Goias (HV/EVZ/UFG) and other private
veterinary clinics and hospitals were assessed using chemical analysis and energy dispersive
spectroscopy (EDS). The most observed mineral was struvite (38,1%), followed by ammonium
urate (35,7%) and calcium oxalate (26,2%). The males were more affected (26/42), as well mixedbreed
animals (36/42). Animals aged between 25 and 72 months old were the most affected
(27/42). In 33 cases (78,6%) the stones were recovered of bladder. The clinical signs with most
occurrence were dysuria (65,0%), hematuria (50,0%), vomiting (17,5%) and anorexia (12,5%). Of
the 42 felines studied, 39 (92.8%) were neutered. Regarding feeding, 26 (61.9%) cats received dry
rations exclusively, while 13 (38.1%) received dry and wet rations. Despite the higher occurrence
of struvite uroliths, a significant presence of ammonium urate uroliths was observed, which
highlights the importance of studies on feline disease. The urolithiasis in cats is little studied in our
country and the present work is a pioneer in the analysis of calculations in felines in Brazil, mainly
due to the use of techniques of quantitative analysis, such as the dispersive energy spectroscopy.
