Abstract

A three-month-old male kid was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Pookode, with a history of distended abdomen and difficulty in passing urine, for the past five days. Physical and radiological examination revealed urinary obstruction. Surgical correction was resorted to. Under sedation and local anaesthesia, tube cystostomy was performed with the help of a customised cystostomy cannula. The customised cannula helped quick and easy tube cystostomy with a small incision of skin and muscles. The procedure was less invasive without any complications. The animal recovered uneventfully.
