Answer to Question 1

The pH and evaluation for the presence of ketones or glucose are the most common tests
performed on cow urine.

Answer to Question 2

Abdominocentesis in the horse can be performed using either a hypodermic needle or a teat
cannula. Both techniques require a three-step surgical preparation of a 4  4 area on the
most ventral caudal area of the horses' abdomen.
Needle method: An 18g  1.5 needle is placed into the abdominal cavity. This method is more
likely to result in inadvertent laceration of the bowel.
Teat cannula: After placing a small lidocaine bleb, a No. 15 scalpel blade is used to make a
stab incision through the skin. The teat cannula is then thrust through the muscle and parietal
layers into the abdominal cavity.
