Abstract

The findings contained in this paper were reached through studying a case of a urinary tract obstruction. These results were used for the evaluation of an innovative veterinary catheter for cystostomy that we have developed for cats. The study was carried out at the research facility in the Department of Surgery, obstetrics and pathology of small animals in Kazan State Academy of Veterinary Medicine named after N.E. Bauman. The subject was a one-year-old male cat suffering from a urinary obstruction. The important symptoms were the lack of urination and hematuria. Diagnosis of the disease was made based on anamnesis and clinical examinations. As complementary tests, ultrasonography besides urine and blood analyses were also done. The confirmed case of obstructive urolithiasis was managed by surgery. The animal was observed over 14 days after the operation. The interpretation of the data resulting from the analysis and the follow-up of the animal's general condition revealed interesting results concerning the absence of postoperative complications and the effectiveness of the new catheter.
