The cascade of events leading to calcium oxalate stone formation is largely unknown, but there is some indication that normal increases in urinary
calcium concentration after feeding could be involved in stone formation.

After nucleation, further added
calcium is consumed by the growth of particles of constant activity, giving rise to a constant solubility
concentration.
Because there is a small risk that temporary interference with
calcium regulation may occur, it is usually recommended that cats remain hospitalised for a few days
after surgery, and blood
calcium concentrations are monitored during this time.
Examinations and testing of affected and unaffected dogs before and
after strenuous ball - chasing or sheep herding exercise found no difference between the the normal and affected groups in blood sugar and
calcium, the muscle enzyme creatinine kinase, and electrolyte (sodium and potassium)
concentrations before or
after exercise.
After 1 month on the treatment diet, intakes of moisture, sodium and fat were increased, and potassium and
calcium intakes were decreased, and urinary
calcium and oxalate
concentrations and
calcium oxalate RSS were decreased (Stevenson et al. 2004).
