Abstract:
A six-year-old female pony was presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history of anorexia and voiding of blood in urine. On clinical examination, the animal appeared dull and on catheterization, tarry coloured urine with blood clots was observed. In urinalysis, urine sample revealed the presence of blood and protein. On ultrasonographic examination, thickening of the bladder wall was observed. Based on the above findings, cystitis was identified as the reason for haematuria in pony. The pony was thereafter treated with a combination of antibiotics Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine @ 25 mg/kg bid per oral for 5 days and Inj. Enrofloxacin @ 5 mg/kg for 5 days following which the pony recovered completely by five days after treatment.
