“…Findings of our study are also substantiated by the observations of Videra and van Amstel ( 2016), who reported that male small ruminants were commonly affected because of their particular anatomy, which includes long, narrow, tortuous urethra with a thin urethral process. Findings of this study are also in consonance with those of Mahajan et al (2017), who also observed maximum number of cases in the age group of <6 months. Cross Bred Kashmir Merino ovine were mostly affected, constituting (73.77%) followed by Cross Bred Corridale (18.03%) (Table 4).…”

Background: The study was conducted on confirmed sheep patients suffering from complete retention of urine. Methods: A complete history regarding the age, breed and sex of the animal, castration, duration of illness, managemental practices, feeding habits of the animals, early signs of the disease, previous treatment, if any, were recorded. Result: An overall incidence of 27.11% of obstructive urolithiasis was recorded in sheep. All these cases were intact rams with different age groups, weights and of different breeds. Highest (78.68%) incidence of ovine obstructive urolithiasis was recorded during winter season. Young lambs of 2-6 months of age were found most affected with obstructive urolithiasis (31.14%). Cross bred Kashmir Merino was most affected followed by cross bred corridale (18.3%) and non descript local breeds of ovine (8.9%). The highest (60.65%) cases were brought to the clinics 48-96 hours after the onset of the disease. The cases from far flung areas and hilly terrain were usually received as late as 120-144 hours of illness. The losses could be averted to a great extent by apprising the farmers about the preventive measures of the disease and imparting them training about the balanced feeding and good managemental practices of sheep rearing.

“…Nearly 58% of retained urine cases were recorded in winter months (December, January, and February) throughout the study period, although the seasonal variation was non-significant. These findings were consistent with the previous studies [2,6,27,28]. On the other hand, a previous study reported a higher incidence of urolithiasis in summer [29].…”

Obstructive urolithiasis in buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis): Serum changes of Vitamins A and D and efficacy of surgical management using tube cystostomy

et al. 2021

Background and Aim: Obstructive urolithiasis is one of the major health problems in livestock animals, mainly in young calves. The present study was designed first to investigate the changes in the serum levels of Vitamins A and D in buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis) with obstructive urolithiasis and second to investigate the efficacy of tube cystostomy technique in management of such condition. Materials and Methods: One hundred and forty-nine buffalo calves of variable ages ranged from 3 to 7 months with a history of retained urine were examined clinically and ultrasonographically. Then, they were subjected to surgical treatment using the tube cystostomy technique. The serum levels of Vitamins A and D were investigated in retained urine calves in addition to 10 clinically healthy calves of the same age used as a control group. Results: Based on clinical and ultrasonographic findings, the calves were diagnosed as obstructive urolithiasis with intact bladder (n=64 calves) or with bladder rupture (n=85 calves) with the peak incidence in winter months. Tube cystostomy was an efficient and quick surgical technique for the management of such condition and 95.3% of calves returned their normal urination within 7–14 days after surgery. Significant hypovitaminoses A and D were found between retained urine calves and control ones (p= 0.01 and 0.002, respectively). Conclusion: Hypovitaminoses A and D suggested predisposing obstructive urolithiasis in buffalo calves, but further clinical studies are recommended for more confirmation. Surgical treatment using tube cystostomy technique is recommended for the management of obstructive urolithiasis in buffalo calves.

“…The mean time for removal of Foley's catheter after recovery was 13.5 days (9-22 days) which co-related with the finding of Kushwaha et al (2014) [6] . Tube cystostomy was found to be a simple, useful technique in the management of obstructive urolithiasis in calves and small ruminants with overall success rate of 73.33% (Mahajan et al, 2017) [8] . The majority of abdominal surgery has abdominal adhesions, and yet only a small number will ever develop subsequent adhesive obstruction (Menzies and Ellis, 1990) [13] .…”

The present study was under taken to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided tube cystotomy in male buffalo calves with intact and turgid urinary bladder. All these calves have pulsating urethra. Frequent micturition posture along with twitching of urethra observed from two to three days. Tube cystotomy was done by minimum stab incision under sonographic examination. Early recovery with minimum complication was noticed in most of buffalo calves by this technique. This study concluded that ultrasonography guided tube cystotomy is safe and reliable technique for treatment of retention of urine in buffalo calves with intact urinary bladder.
