Ultrasonographic diagnosis was performed in 25 cow calves suffering from complete obstructive urolithiasis. Ultrasonography was found accurate in diagnosing cystitis, uroperitoneum, serosal erosion of cystic wall and urocystoliths. However, ultrasonography was not found effective in diagnosing the affections/lesions of urethra including urethritis (40%), urourethroliths (30%) and rupture in urethra (33%). Ultrasonography was thus found a valuable aid in deciding the mode of treatment and predicting the prognosis.
