HAEMATO-BIOCHEMICAL AND IMAGING STUDIES FOR DIAGNOSIS OF UROLITHIASIS IN DOGS

The present clinical study was conducted on 10 dogs presented for treatment of canine urolithiasis. The mean + SE of total red blood cell count, total leukocytic count and haemoglobin content preoperatively were 4.17 + 0.02 mill/cumm, 9177 + 122 cells/cmm and 11.2 + 0.6 grams/dl respectively while, the mean + SE level of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were found to be 16.7 + 2.7 mg/dl and 0.95 + 0.02 mg/dl respectively. Radiography and ultrasonography were found to be effective diagnostic aids in confirmation of urolithiasis
