Ultrasonographic characterization of the urinary bladder in sows with and without urinary tract infection

Tools and Protocols for Managing Hyperprolific Sows at Parturition: Optimizing Piglet Survival and Sows’ Reproductive Health

“…Ultrasonography can also be used for the diagnosis of cystitis [89,90]. Still, it is not as reliable as in the diagnosis of acute endometritis.…”

“…Still, it is not as reliable as in the diagnosis of acute endometritis. Clear changes in the wall thickness and regularity and the mucosal wall surface are volume dependent [89,90]. Overall, these measurements seem to be unreliable for diagnosis of cystitis.…”

“…Overall, these measurements seem to be unreliable for diagnosis of cystitis. On the other hand, animals with cystitis have moderate to high amounts of sediment [89,90]. Unfortunately, half of the sows without cystitis also show moderate to high amounts of sediment, which is mainly caused by the diet [89,90].…”

“…On the other hand, animals with cystitis have moderate to high amounts of sediment [89,90]. Unfortunately, half of the sows without cystitis also show moderate to high amounts of sediment, which is mainly caused by the diet [89,90]. Nevertheless, when none to mild amounts is present, the probability that the sow is suffering from no cystitis is high.…”

Uterustumore bei älteren Miniaturschweinen – Diagnostik und Therapie

“…Hierzu wurden zunächst die Gefäße der Ovarien ligiert (Supramid 6, USP 3 und 4), distal durchtrennt und vorliegen (17). Bestehen, neben unspezifischen Krankheitserscheinungen, Symptome, die eindeutig auf eine Beteiligung des Genitaltrakts hinweisen, sollten häufigere Erkrankungen des Schweines wie Endometritis oder Harnwegsinfektion als Differenzialdiagnosen ausgeschlossen werden (18,28,27).…”
