The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare positive cystography techniques at 5%, 10%, and 20%, as well as three different double-contrast protocols for detecting radiolucent uroliths with a diameter of less than 3.0 mm in dogs. Six cadavers were used, one was selected at random to...

Objective: To describe a technique for laparoscopic cystopexy using knotless barbed suture and to compare this technique with traditional cystopexy using standard suture in a cadaveric canine model. Study Design: Cadaveric study. Animals: Male canine cadavers (n=12). Methods: Cadavers were randomly ...

A 10-year-old intact male Shih Tzu dog presented with hematuria. Double-contrast cystography revealed a polypoid filling defect at the apex of the urinary bladder. Ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneously hypoechoic intramural mass with minimal vascular flow beneath the submucosal layer. After...

A one-year-old intact male German shepherd dog was referred with a 3-month history of dysuria and pollakiuria. Physical examination revealed a large firm mass in the caudal abdomen. Findings from survey radiography, negative contrast cystography, computed tomographic (CT) retrograde positive...

The objectives of the current case report are to describe and report the diagnostics and surgical treatment of colonic diverticulum in a dog. A 13-year-old intact male Labrador retriever, suffering from the inability to defecate for 10 days, was diagnosed with a mass between the colon and the...

Radiographic and ultrasonographic evaluations of the urinary bladder architecture following autologous composite colo-peritoneal pedicle graft, as alternative tissue for urinary bladder reconstruction, in the surgical repair of experimental urinary bladder defects were carried out in two dogs....

A 3-month-old Malinois dog, with urinary incontinence and dysuria since its adoption, is presented for the evaluation of a suspected congenital malformation. Ultrasonographic exam, cystography and tomodensitometric evaluations show a cavity linked to the bladder, consistent in the first place with...

Uterus masculinus (persistent Mullerian duct) is a vestigial embryological remnant of the paramesonephric duct system in males and has been associated with clinical signs such as dysuria, incontinence, tenesmus and urethral obstruction in dogs. The radiological appearance of cystic uterus...

During the clinical activity, persistent hematuria can be encountered in dogs, posing a difficult problem to solve for the examiner. The differential diagnostic for this clinical sign can be daunting, as multiple organs can be a source for the episodic or prolonged presence of blood in the urine....

Standard radiography provides an overall picture of the abdomen, which is necessary after an injury. Radiography facilitates the assessment of organ malposition, and changes in opacity of retroperitoneal and peritoneal spaces. It usefully supplements ultrasonography in the detection of urinary...
