“…During surgery, it is important to prevent penetrating the peritoneum to minimize the chance of contaminating the abdomen and the development of peritonitis (Vogel et al, 2011). In the present case, the peritoneum was damaged during surgery, despite using careful blunt dissection as a precaution.…”

A four-year-old red Holstein Friesian cow was admitted to the clinic with fever and milk drop. Blood analysis revealed the presence of a chronic infection, and the diagnosis of pyelonephritis of the right kidney was made after repeated ultrasound examinations. The animal was treated with procaine benzylpenicillin, sulfadoxine trimethoprim, oxytetracycline and enrofloxacine but this therapy was not successful. Nephrectomy was performed after the left kidney proved to have a normal function. The removed right kidney was greatly enlarged and filled with pus. Escherichia coli was isolated from the kidney. The strain was multidrug-resistant, including resistance to aminopenicillins, streptomycin, sulfonamides and trimethoprim. The cow was treated with amoxicillin and clavulanic acid after the operation. Postoperatively, an abscess developed and a tube drain was placed during a second surgery to enable daily rinsing with a chlorhexidine solution. After a postoperative care period of two months, the animal was sent back to the farm, where it returned to an acceptable level of milk production. This case demonstrates that with basic surgical skills, a good preparation and knowledge of anatomy, nephrectomy is attainable for a first-opinion veterinarian, with an acceptable economic prognosis for the farmer.

“…Also, the diverticula were symmetrical, which made an acquired origin less likely. In female cows and sows, a suburethral diverticulum has been described to be present in the distal part of the urethra (König & Liebich, 2014;Vogel et al, 2011). A possible anatomical variation of this kind could not be excluded but seemed less likely since the diverticulum was located in the proximal part of the urethra of a gelding.…”

The retraction has been agreed due to an unintentional misdiagnosis by the authors which invalidates the conclusions of the case report.

“…A case report in cattle showed that unilateral nephrolithiasis might not be associated with azotemia ( 23 ), which might be possible as long as there is no obstruction of the distal urinary passages. There is evidence showing that alpacas can live without restrictions after unilateral nephrectomy ( 24 ) as other ruminants do ( 25 ). In these two previously mentioned case reports, unilateral nephrectomy was not associated with azotemia.…”

Case report: Urolithiasis, nephrolithiasis and a urinary bladder malformation in a seven-month-old alpaca cria

Urolithiasis is a common condition in male small ruminants where predisposing factors have been identified. Occasionally, urolithiasis is diagnosed in South American camelids (SACs). However, nephrolithiasis is rarely diagnosed in ruminants. To our knowledge, this is the first report focusing on a combined appearance of nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis in an alpaca cria. A 7-month-old alpaca cria suffering from impaired urinary flow was presented for examination. On admission, the alpaca had a wet prepuce and showed a standing posture with a wide-based stance. Ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen showed a distended bladder. Clinical chemistry revealed azotemia and hypophosphatemia. After the first examination, repeated urination was observed. Conservative therapy using antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic drugs was started with the suspected diagnosis of urinary calculus. During the first 24 h, plasma concentrations of creatinine and urea decreased, but increased again during the following days. During the second day after admission, urination was not observed for 16 h while the concentration of urea and creatinine further increased. Therefore, the animal was euthanized due to financial concerns of the owner. Necropsy revealed that calculi were located in the left kidney as well as in the urethra. In addition, the animal exhibited uroperitoneum. The urinary bladder was intact, moderately distended with urine and showed a malformation, which was covered with a translucent mucosal membrane. Histologic examination revealed that this malformation was a bladder diverticulum. The extent to which the unilateral nephroliths affected the general condition and renal function of the animal is unclear, since the uroliths also cause azotemia, and abdominal pain. Further studies are needed for a better understanding of obstructive urinary disease in SACs.
