“…It is not always possible to scan the left kidney in sheep through the flank, but such an examination was not necessary because the urinary tract obstruction in males is distal to the ureter, and therefore, the condition affects both kidneys equally. These findings are consistent with previous reports of advanced hydronephrosis [32,33], in which the condition was identified by an increased renal pelvis, representing an enlarged anechoic (fluid-filled) center of the kidney, and a reduced renal cortex.…”

“…USG also has been used to diagnose thoracic [ 11 ], hepatic [ 12 ], and abdominal [ 13 ] afflictions. In sheep, USG findings for obstructive urolithiasis in rams have been reported [ 14 , 15 ]. Scott [ 16 ] has presented transabdominal USG images of the bladder and right kidney of sheep with suspected urinary tract disease, concluding that this imaging can assist in treatment decisions.…”

Background and Aim: In sheep and goats, most urinary disorders are incidental findings at the postmortem examination and do not present clinically. As such, the diagnosis of renal diseases in sheep and goats can be overlooked. Therefore, this study was carried out on sheep and goats to describe the clinical, ultrasonography (USG), and postmortem findings of various disorders affecting the urinary tract. Materials and Methods: A total of 58 animals (30 sheep and 28 goats) were examined, as well as were ten healthy control animals (five sheep and five goats) for a comparison. The animals were referred for various causes, including anorexia, frequent and painful urination, hematuria, decreased body weight, oliguria, and anuria. Results: The sheep and goats were categorized into ten groups of symptoms and disorders: Pelvic abscessation, pigmented urine, renal failure, pyelonephritis, cystitis, hydronephrosis, rupture of the urethra, rupture of the urinary bladder, rupture of the urinary bladder together with the urethra, and paralysis of the urinary bladder. Clinical presentation, USG, and postmortem examination results for each group were detailed. Many clinical presentations were nonspecific. USG examination of the urinary tract significantly facilitated the verification of the previously mentioned disorders. Conclusion: USG demonstrated superior performance in the early and confirmatory diagnosis of urinary disorders in sheep and goats. Therefore, it is recommended that routine USG be the preferred imaging modality for examining sheep and goats with urinary disorders and for determining their prognosis.

Comparative evaluation of modified proximal perineal urethrostomy with direct guided urethral catheterisation and tube cystostomy for the management of obstructive urolithiasis in male goats

Twelve clinical cases of chronic obstructive urolithiasis in male goats were selected for the study with the objective to evaluate two surgical techniques - modified proximal perineal urethrostomy (MPPU) with direct guided urethral catheterisation (Group I) and tube cystostomy (Group II) for the surgical management. Ultrasonography was effective in assessing the urinary bladder and detection of uroliths. Functional patency of normal urethra was regained in five out of six animals of each group by third post-operative week. Direct access to the perineal urethra providing quick relief to the turgid bladder was identified as the major advantage of modified proximal perineal urethrostomy technique. Tube cystostomy technique provided direct visual assessment of urinary bladder, precise fixing of Foley’s catheter and retrieval of uroliths. Even though this technique was found to be more invasive, it was identified as an effective approach for correcting cystorrhexis resulted from obstructive urolithiasis

“…Für den unteren Harntrakt stellt die Sonographie ein sehr gutes und nicht invasives Verfahren dar, das für alle Indikationen ausreichende diagnostische Sicherheit bietet. Die Anwendung dieser Methode beim Schaflamm wurde bereits in der Literatur beschrieben (1). Sie lässt sich mit Ultraschallsonden höherer Frequenz (10-14 MHz) auch in der tierärztlichen Praxis durchführen, was für eine röntgenologische Darstellung der Harnwege häufig nicht zutrifft.…”

ZusammenfassungEin beim männlichen kleinen Wiederkäuer nicht selten beobachtetes Krankheitsgeschehen ist eine Harnabsatzstörung. Für die prognostische Einschätzung und die Wahl einer möglichst erfolgversprechenden Therapie ist die genaue Kenntnis der zugrundeliegenden Ätiologie unabdingbar. Zu den häufigen Ursachen einer Harnabsatzstörung beim Bock gehören eine obstruktive Urolithiasis, Traumata des Penis und entzündliche Veränderungen der Urethra oder Blase. Neben der klinischen Untersuchung stellen bildgebende Verfahren das diagnostische Mittel der Wahl dar. Da sich eine röntgenologische Darstellung der Harnwege in der Praxis häufig nicht durchführen lässt, hat dieser Artikel das Ziel, die sonographische Untersuchung des unteren Harntrakts beim Bocklamm zu beschreiben.
