| dc.description.abstract | A comprehensive study was undertaken to evaluate various urinary system affections in cats presented to the Dept. of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, NTRCVSC, Gannavaram both retrospectively and prospectively. 118 cats were presented among which, urinary system affections were next to fracture cases. In both studies Persian breed tom cats aged below four years were predominantly affected. Prospectively, 21 out of 91 registered cats had urinary system problems. Clinical signs like dehydration, anuria, constipation, haematuria, stranguria, oliguria, vomition, dribbling of urine, anorexia and abdominal distension were recorded. Physiological parameters were unaltered and within normal range. Mild anaemia, mild neutrophilia, high creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and alanine aminotransferase values and hypoproteinemia were observed. Urine was red to yellow coloured, turbid, had neutral pH and increased specific gravity. The sediment revealed presence of epithelial cells, red blood cells, white blood cells and crystals of struvite and calcium oxalate dihydrate. Abdominal sonography recorded hydronephrosis, renal cyst, pyelonephritis, renal capsular edema, thickened capsule, indistinct cortico-medullary junction, calculi, distended bladder, cystitis, sludge in bladder, blood clots, thickened bladder wall, blood clots and edema of bladder wall. Radiography (lateral and ventro-dorsal views) could diagnose nephromegaly, distended urinary bladder, calculi in bladder or tip of urethra. Pole to pole kidney length and width at renal pelvis of kidney were measured sonographically and radiographically. Pneumocystography was performed to diagnose a blood clot embedding two small calculi in it. Urethral plugs were retrieved in five cases composed of struvite and calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals. Urethral catheterization carried out to relieve blocked urethra. In cats that could not be made urethra patent, cystocentesis was performed to relieve the condition temporarily. Medical treatment with amoxicillin plus sulbactum, amitriptyline, urotone, cystone treated the condition. Caudal mid ventral laparo-cystotomy was performed in two cats and retrieved solitary calculus in one cat and two small calculi in another case. | |
