Abstract

Twenty-five and 16 cases of the left and right abomasal displacement, respectively, 14 cases of the abomasal volvulus and 8 cases of the functional pyloric stenosis (vagal indigestion) in cows were comparatively examined for their urine characteristics. Specific gravity of urine was significantly higher in cases with abomasal volvulus than in those without; while such higher gravity was not shown in cases with vagal indigestion and severe hypovolemia and electrolyte depletion. In cases with urine chloride concentration less than 10mEq/l hypochloremia and hypokalemia were observed with a tendency of metabolic alkalosis, as well as aciduria and hyponatremia.
