Pre-sterilisation survey ultrasonographic examination of abdomen was performed in 18 clinically healthy dogs in group A and 11 dogs in group B. The ultrasound scanning of whole abdomen and haemato-biochemical examination was performed in both group A and B. The alterations in haematobiochemical values were recorded and corroborated with ultrasonographic interpretations for the clinical diagnosis. The presterilisation ultrasonographic examination in animals of group A showed normal shape size and echotexture of various abdominal organs and in group B, various pathological conditions were diagnosed based on ultrasonographic findings viz. pyometra (6 case), abdominal mass (uterine tumour) (1 case), perineal herniated mass (1 case), scrotal tumour (1 case) and prostatic hyperplasia (2 case) in which sterilisation i.e. ovariohysterectomy and surgical castration were indicated for the treatment. The haemato-biochemical findings in animals of present study reflected to normal or pathological state, were corroborated with the ultrasonographic findings. The pre-sterilisation ultrasonographic evaluation precisely determined the pathologic changes associated with the abdominal organs in dogs of group B and is well articulated with the haemato-biochemical and clinical findings thus accomplished a correct diagnosis of various abdominal disorders. The ultrasonography has been found a reliable, non-invasive imaging modality to detect any pathological condition, space occupying lesion or masses associated with the abdominal organs in dogs undergoing sterilisation operation.endiseases, byproducts, biological phenomena, veterinary medicine, enzymes, heterocyclic compounds, sterilization, fruits, developmental stages, proteinsThesis
