Abstract
Clinical Appraisal of 48 Cases of Obstructive Urolithiasis in Buffalo Calves Treated with Tube Cystostomy and Urethrotomy
Highlights
Urolithiasis is the formation of urolith(s), which may lodge anywhere in the urinary system but most frequently at the distal end of sigmoid flexure in ruminants and causes obstruction to urine flow (Radostits et al, 2000; Kushwaha et al, 2011)
The present paper describes the clinical and intra–operative observations made on buffalo calves suffering from complete urethral obstruction
The clinical signs and body conditions varied according to the status of the urinary bladder and duration of urethral obstruction
Summary
Urolithiasis is the formation of urolith(s), which may lodge anywhere in the urinary system but most frequently at the distal end of sigmoid flexure in ruminants and causes obstruction to urine flow (Radostits et al, 2000; Kushwaha et al, 2011). The clinical signs and physiological parameters of urolithiasis may vary with the degree of urethral obstruction, its duration, age and sex of the animals, and status of urinary bladder and urethra. Though earlier authors have several observations on urolithiasis (Lavania et al, 1973; Gera and Nigam, 1979; Singh and Singh, 1990; Sharma and Singh, 2001; Kushwaha et al, 2011), detailed studies on different types of clinical, physiological and intra–operative are limited in buffalo calves. The present paper describes the clinical and intra–operative observations made on buffalo calves suffering from complete urethral obstruction
