Abstract:

Uroliths, which can form anywhere in the urinary system but are most commonly seen near the distal end of the sigmoid flexure in ruminants, can impede urine flow and cause urolithiasis. It is most frequently observed in male buffalo calves between the ages of two to six months. During the winter, the incidence rate is greater. The tube cystostomy approach, which is an efficient and cost-effective surgical corrective technique, is frequently employed among other treatment options. In this case report, a 3-month-old male crossbred buffalo calf had a favourable prognosis after undergoing tube cystostomy using Foley's catheter in conjunction with oral feeding of urine acidifier (ammonium chloride).
