Name of the disease in English

Acute cystitis

The disease in brief

These are trauma, the introduction of infection, urinary stagnation which causes the majority of cystitis, with bacteria No. 1 Escherichia coli; in practice the associated diseases are therefore: Bladder urolithiasis, bladder paralysis, dystocia, and pyelonephritis is an extension of this. It evolves in an acute form in a few days or chronically in weeks or months.

Clinic & diagnosis

A bovine that keeps its tail raised and/or its posture camped after urinating, the emission of small jets of urine and signs of pain caused by urination are the first warning signs. Then we can see it pushing to urinate in vain or almost, and finally we no longer see it urinate. The bladder is painful, fever often present. A urine test on a dipstick showing moderate to clear alkalinuria, with mild to moderate proteinuria and moderate to clear red blood cells will confirm the infection if necessary.

-Male urethral obstruction UR19

Confirm a suspicion?

Collect urine sterilely and perform histological examination to show the presence of red blood cells, leukocytes and epithelial cells; a bacterial count can guide the prognosis.

Prognosis and treatment

Antibiotic treatment with a broad-spectrum penicillin for one week to 14 days; healing is regular, but there is a risk of relapse.

Prevention

-Provide appropriate care in case of dystocia which could traumatize the bladder.

-Use sterile equipment for urinary catheters

-Apply preventive hygiene for omphalitis: Local disinfection, ventilation of buildings, maintenance and disinfection of litter
