ABSTRACT

in bovine obstructive urolithiasis, Onl J Vet Res
15(1):1-13, 2011. Thirty calves were diagnosed with
obstructive urolithiasis based on history of clinical signs, anuria and radiographic,
ultrasonographic, hematology and peritoneal fluid
examinations. Fifteen calves had ruptured urinary bladders and 15 intact ones. Haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell
volume (PCV), total leukocyte count (TLC) and differential leukocyte count (DLC)
were normal and Hb, PVC, TLC, lymphocytes, monocytes
and eosinophils values were similar in cattle with intact or ruptured bladders.
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, potassium, inorganic phosphorus were above reference values whereas blood calcium was below.
Total plasma proteins (TPP), sodium, magnesium and vitamin A and oxalates were
within the normal reference range. We found that cattle with ruptured bladders
had higher (P <0.05) BUN, TPP, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium compared
with those with intact bladders. In contrast, blood calcium was higher in cattle
with intact bladders.
