A study was conducted on 38 male goats suffering from obstructive urolithiasis having intact urinary bladder. Percutaneous tube cystostomy was done in all the cases under epidural anesthesia. Tube cystostomy using Foley's catheter was found easy, less time consuming and with very few post-operative complications in terms of tolerance by animals and overall outcome of the patients.
