oxalic acid
Posted: 21 Dec 2017, 17:17
Hi All, This is my first post here, this is a friendly question. I'm looking for very specific information.
Does anyone have direct evidence that any 'stone' in any tortoises' urinary system was indeed a result of oxalate crystal accumulation or accretion?
By direct evidence I mean a mass spec or some some sort of actual analysis of the object, not just an assertion.
These folks have not found one in a tortoise. https://www.vetmed.umn.edu/centers-prog ... ith-center
Non analysed stones shown in radio graphs are not evidence. A vets anecdote is not evidence.
I really do seek to find at least one example. Just one would be great.
