Struvite stones are the most common type of bladder stone in cats. Urinary pH is the most important factor in the prevention and dissolution of struvite. We report a case of a 4 years old Queen, who presented with history of reduced urine (oliguria) for last 3 weeks and feeding with low quality of dry food. The Struvite Stone was recognized in the bladder by the abdomen ultrasound. The stone was removed by cystolithotomy technique. Post-operative, patient was stable.
