This report describes a procedure of bladder tube cystotomy to relieve progressing bladder distension in a goat diagnosed to have obstructive urolithiasis. This one-year old Saanen buck was presented with a complaint of not passing urine and being in discomfort for almostthree days. On physical examination, pulsation of the urethra in the perineal region could befelt and swelling and pain along the prepuce and perineum were indicated on deep palpation.Amputation of the urethral orifice and attempt to catheterise the urethra failed to relievebladder distension; thus, bladder tube cystotomy procedure was performed. Following thisprocedure, all vital parameters returned to normal and normograde cystourethrogram wasperformed to radiographically assess the lower urinary tract of the goat. The outcome ofthis case supports that the bladder tube cystotomy technique provides an effective methodto allow immediate relief of a distended bladder, allowing the urethra to heal as the urineoutflow is diverted through the catheter and allows normograde cystourethrography to beperformed.
