| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted on 19 clinical cases of dogs suffering from urinary tract affections viz; urolithiasis (9), perinea] hernia involving urinary bladder (6) and prostate affections (4). Urolithiasis was seen mostly in Spitz breed. The mean age at presentation was 6.6 years. Respiration rate, rectal temperature, pulse rate, TLC, neutrophil count, BUN and creatinine were elevated at the time of presentation. The metabolic acidosis was reflected by decrease in blood HC0-3 and pH values. Microscopic examination of urine sediment revealed hematuria. The above parameters returned to normal 20 days after surgery in all dogs. Ultrasound proved to provide precise information regarding size, shape and exact location of calculi in the urinary tract. CST pattern of different bacteria isolated from urine, bladder mucosal biopsy and uroliths indicated tobramycin, amikacin, cefazolin and ciprotloxacin to be the most sensitive antibiotics. Most common uroliths found were calcium oxalate in neutral to acidic urine pH and CaCO3PO4 in alkaline urine pH. Histopathology of bladder wall biopsies revealed mild to severe chronic cystitis characterized by necrotic/ hyperplastic/ metaplastic changes in urothelium. In dogs with perineal hernia, the normal haematological values, BUN and creatinine were altered at the time of presentation. Clinical signs, contrast radiography and ultrasonography were diagnostic to identify the hernial contents. Surgical management with transposition of obturator internus muscle, castration and antimicrobial therapy based on CST could effectively prevent recurrence of perineal hernia. In dogs with prostate affections, the haematological changes followed the general trend of inflammation. Per -rectal examination, blood parameters, radiographs and ultrasound were helpful in diagnosing the prostate enlargement. Castration in addition to selective antimicrobial therapy based on CST could effectively counteract UTI and subsequently prostate enlargement. | |
