Determination of Methods Radiographic, Ultrasonographic and Endoscopic of Urinary Bladder Diseases in Female Dogs

The aim of this study was determination of the urinary bladder diseases on female dogs with radiographic, ultrasonographic and endoscopic methods and comparison and determination of advantages and disadvantages of these methods. The material of study consisted of 25 owned female dogs with different ages and races who were admitted to Erciyes University Veterinary Faculty clinics with the suspicion of urinary bladder diseases. In all cases, radiographic, ultrasonographic and endoscopic examinations were performed and the definitive diagnosis was made and findings were recorded. The success was achieved in 64% of the radiography, 96% of the ultrasonography and 100% of the endoscopy. As a result, it was found that endoscopy and ultrasonography were more advantageous and successful than radiography in definitive diagnosis of urinary bladder diseases. Radiography alone was not sufficient but it could be a supportive method for definite diagnosis. It was observed that ultrasonography may be sufficient for definite diagnosis but it should be supported by other methods. The endoscopy as a non-invasive and convenient imaging method can be used alone
