ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to evaluate minimally invasive tube
cystostomy technique in goats and calves suffering from obstructive
urolithiasis having intact and ruptured urinary bladder. This clinical study
was carried out on 84 clinical cases (61 goats and 23 calves) based on the
history, clinical signs and physical examination along with common laboratory
techniques at the Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University during
January 2015-December 2016. Physical parameters like heart rate, respiratory
rate, rectal temperature and dehydration status of animals were noted and corrected
abnormality before surgery. Some cases had slightly higher haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV) and uric acid and
epithelial casts in urine. The study revealed that abnormal calcium-phosphorus ratio was
predisposing the animals to urolithiasis. It was found that young ruminants
(3-5 months) were most commonly affected in both species. All affected animals
were male in this study, in which
calves were not castrated but in goats 95.08% animals were castrated. Rupture of bladder was more common in calves as
compared to goats. Postoperatively all cases were administered with
broad-spectrum antibiotic, anti-inflammatory agent and caliculolytic agents
like ammonium chloride. Tube cystostomy with Foley’s catheter was the most
satisfactory technique for the management of obstructive urolithiasis in small
ruminants. Postoperative complications were recorded only in four animals and remaining 80
animals had a normal recovery from tube cystostomy. Tube cystostomy is a
simple, inexpensive and very effective procedure for the treatment of
urolithiasis in ruminants.
