Sažetak
In this study, 100 cattle were examined clinically and ultrasonographically in order to identify their abdominal disorders. The importance and advantages of ultrasonography were evaluated by testing the findings of radiography and abdominocentesis in suspicious cases. Examinations revealed that subjects were suffering from omphalitis (n = 30), extraumbilical abscess (n = 22), traumatic reticulitis (n = 14), urolithiasis and bladder rupture (n = 10), traumatic reticuloperitonitis (n = 6), hernia umbilicalis (n = 6), omphalophlebitis (n = 4), urachal fistula (n = 3), abomasum fistula (n = 2), hernia ventralis (n = 2) or ruminal fistula (n = 1). This investigation indicated that clinical symptoms were unspecific and insufficient for definitive diagnosis even though they provided valuable data at first. However, ultrasonography not only provided definitive results, but also dispelled doubts raised by techniques applied in previous or subsequent procedures.
