Superficial swellings in sheep (<i>Ovis aries</i>) and goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>): Clinical and ultrasonographic findings

Abstract: This study describes the clinical presentation of superficial swellings and evaluates the utility of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of such swellings in sheep and goats. Ninety-three sheep and 73 goats were included in this study on the basis of presence of superficial swellings on the head (n=56), neck (n=16), chest wall (n=3), abdominal wall (n=40), umbilicus (n=14), scrotum (n=16), testes (n=1), udder (n=7), limbs (n=2), gluteal region (n=5), tail (n=1), and penile urethra (n=5). Ultrasonographic evaluati… Show more

“…Case history, physical examination, and exploratory puncture are routinely performed to diagnose superficial swellings in sheep and goats. Ultrasonography could be used as a unique, noninvasive imaging technique for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of various superficial swellings in these animals, particularly when physical examinations are inaccurate and inconclusive (Hashefi, 2009 andSadan, 2019).…”
