Abstract

A double contrast study of canine stomach with oral barium sulphate 25% (3 mL/kg b.wt) followed by air (2 to 10 mL/kg b.wt, negative contrast) after sedation with triflupromazine (2 mg/kg b.wt, i.m.) was done in six clinical cases of dogs to study the affections of stomach. Double contrast radiography with barium sulphate and air was found effective for identifying various details of the gastric mucosa.
