Abstract | ||||
Thirty animals (17 cows and 13 buffaloes) with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) and pericarditis (TP) and 10 apparently healthy animals (5 cows and 5 buffaloes) (control group) were included in the present study. In cases suspected to have traumatic reticulopericarditis, ultrasonography and pericardiocentesis for pericardial fluid analysis were evaluated as ancillary diagnostic aids. The obtained findings were discussed. It was concluded that ultrasonography was the most safest, useful, reliable and confirmatory aid in diagnosis of traumatic reticuloperitonitis and pericarditis. Pericardiocentesis should also be considered as the last invasive diagnostic index. | ||||
