Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study
was to evaluate the simple tube cystostomy procedure for
management of urethral obstruction cases in ruminants.
Materials and Methods: Tube cystostomy was used to treat a
total of 58 ruminants, which included 35 buffalo calves and 23
goats. Diagnosis of the disease was made with the history of
anuria, clinical signs, and physical examinations. Physical
parameters like heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature
dehydration status of animals by skin tenting test, and
intraoperative findings were compared.
Results: Young ruminants were most commonly affected and
the mean age was 4-5 months in both species. Only male were
considered for the study in which buffalo calves were not
castrated but in goat's 73.91% animal were castrated and 34.7% not
castrated. Rupture of bladder was more common in buffalo calves as
compared to goats. The confirmed cases of obstructive urolithiasis
were selected for tube cystostomy with Foley's catheter.
Postoperatively all cases were administered with broad spectrum
antibiotic, anti-inflammatory agent, and caliculolytic agents like
ammonium chloride. Postoperative complications recorded only in 10
animals and remaining 48 animals had an uneventful recovery.
Conclusion: Tube cystostomy is a simple and effective
procedure particularly in intact urinary bladder, which can be
adopted at field level.
Keywords: ruminants, tube cystostomy, urolithiasis
