Abstract

A one-year-old Beetal male goat weighing around 45 kg was presented at the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, CVAS, Pookode, Wayanad with a history of lethargy, abdominal distension, dysuria, stranguria, abdominal pain, groaning and falling down. General physical and laboratory examinations, ultra-sonographic imaging, and microbiological analysis were performed. Leucocytosis with moderate anaemia could be observed in haematological evaluation. Ultrasonographic imaging and microbial culture confirmed the case as acute cystitis. Systemic administration of antibiotics and oral supportive therapy helped the animal make an uneventful recovery.
