THE ANESTHETIC EFFECTS OF INTRA-VENOUS VERSUS EPIDURAL ADMINISTRATION OF COMBINATION OF DIAZEPAM, XYLAZINE AND KETAMINE WERE EVALUATED IN DOGS. TWO GROUPS EACH OF 5 DOGS WERE INJECTED WITH 1 MG/KG B.WT. DIAZEPAM, 0.2 MG/KG B.WT. XYLAZINE, AND 10 MG/KG B.WT. KETAMINE RESPECTIVELY. THIS TRIPLE COMBINATION WAS INJECTED EPIDURALLY IN ONE GROUP AND INTRAVENOUSLY IN THE OTHER GROUP. THE MEAN ONSET, ... Read more

THE URINARY BLADDER OF 15 CLINICALLY NORMAL DOGS WAS EXCISED AND THE URETERS WERE IMPLANTED INTO AN ISOLATED, VAGOTOMIZED GASTRIC SEGMENT DERIVED FROM THE FUNDIC REGION OF THE STOMACH. THE GASTRIC SEGMENT WAS CLOSED TO FORM A NEOBLADDER. CONTINENCE WAS MAINTAINED WITH A "NIPPLE VALVE" CREATED AT THE TABULARIZED END OF ISOLATED SEGMENT OF STOMACH. CLINICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, ULTRASONOGRAPHICAL, URINE AND ... Read more

PRESENTLY NEITHER THE SPECIFICATION OF RUMEN CANNULA FOR SMALL RUMINANTS IS REPORTED NOR IS IT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN EGYPTIAN MARKET. THEREFORE, FABRICATION OF RUMINAL CANNULA FOR SHEEP AND SURGICAL PROCEDURE FOR ITS IMPLANTATION ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PAPER. THE DEVICE WAS ADAPTED TO ALLOW SAMPLING OF ENTIRE RUMINAL CONTENTS VIA CANNULAS WITH DIFFERENT DIAMETERS, WHICH TIGHTLY SEALED WITHIN RUMINAL FISTULA ... Read more

A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY AIMING AT ASSESSING THE PREVALENCE OF URETHRAL OBSTRUCTION WAS CONDUCTED ON 319 CATTLE CALVES SUFFERED FROM URINE RETENTION. DATA CONCERNING SEASON, AGE, SEX, TYPE OF FEED AND AVAILABILITY OF DRINKING WATER, PRESENTING SIGNS, CLINICAL AND INTRA-OPERATIVE FINDINGS, AND THE OUTCOME OF SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS WERE COMPILED FOR EACH OF THE EXAMINED ANIMALS. IN RELATION TO SEASON, THE HIGHEST ... Read more

CLINICAL STUDY CONDUCTED UNDER FIELD CONDITION DURING THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 2005 TO DECEMBER 2008 IN BENI-SUEF PROVINCE ON A TOTAL NUMBER OF 15 CALVES SUFFERED FROM CONGENITAL URETHRAL DILATATION AT THE PERINEAL REGION. AFFECTION WAS DIAGNOSED AND TREATED SURGICALLY UNDER FIELD CONDITION AND TREATMENT INCLUDED PERINEAL URETHROSTOMY (8 CALVES) AND SURGICAL EXCISION (7 CALVES). RESULTS REVEALED THAT DURATION OF ...

PERMANENT URINARY DIVERSION BY USING TUBE CYSTOSTOMY WAS EVALUATED FOR ITS EFFICACY IN TREATMENT OF SELECTED CASES SUFFERED FROM URINE RETENTION IN EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICALLY AFFECTED ANIMALS. EXPERIMENTALLY, URINE RETENTION WAS INDUCED THEN URINARY DIVERSION WAS PERFORMED IN SIX MALE GOATS AND FOUR BULL CALVES. ALL ANIMALS WERE OBSERVED FOR FIVE MONTHS AFTER OPERATION. PRE AND POST-OPERATIVE ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION WAS ... Read more

THE PRESENT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ON A TOTAL NUMBER OF (66) CATTLE CALVES, 4-24 MONTHS OLD, SUFFERED FROM OBSTRUCTIVE URETHROLITHIASIS AND RUPTURED URINARY BLADDER. 63 CASES WERE OPERATED IN VETERINARY PRACTICES IN ELMINYA AND BENI-SUEF PROVINCES DURING THE PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 2004 TO MAY 2005. TWO TECHNIQUES OF URETHROTOMY HAD BEEN EVALUATED IN THIS STUDY INCLUDING CONVENTIONAL URETHROTOMY (VENTRAL URETHRAL ... Read more
