Abstract

A 5-day-old Japanese Black female calf showing abdominal distension was presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of the Iwate University for diagnosis and treatment. The calf also exhibited astasia, dehydration, and a breath smelling of urine. Abdominal radiography and ultrasonography revealed a large volume of effusion in the abdominal cavity, and abdominal paracentesis showed uroabdomen. The calf was suspected of having a rupture of the urinary bladder and was subjected to laparotomy in a supine position after intravenous administration of xylazine hydrochloride 0.1 mg/kg. An abnormal electrocardiogram was observed immediately after beginning the surgery, and cardiac arrest occurred during the process of removing the fluid. Normal sinus rhythm returned after a rapid intravenous infusion of acetated-ringer solution with an injection of vasopressors. A laceration that existed at the dorsal part of the bladder was sutured, and the abdominal wall was closed after intraperitoneal irrigation. The calf was systemically administered with an antibiotic for four days after surgery. One year later, the calf was reportedly in good condition and growing well.
