Figure 27.24 Cystography to check for ruptured bladder. (a) A 3-year-old intact male domestic shorthair had decreased serosal detail
following cystotomy to remove urinary bladder calculi. (b) A positive contrast cystogram was performed to evaluate the urinary
bladder for leakage. No leakage was apparent. (c) A 5-year-old male Persian cat presented with difficulty urinating. A catheter was
placed to relieve obstruction. On radiography, both renal and urethral (arrow) calculi were seen. Serosal detail was poor. A positive
contrast cystogram was performed to evaluate the bladder for leakage. The urinary bladder was intact although the shape was
unusual. (d) Lateral projection. (e) Ventrodorsal projection.
