    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Surgical Science
    • Ruminant Health

    Background:

    • Bladder rupture is uncommon in heifers, typically occurring in bulls due to urolithiasis or cows post-dystocia.
    • A yearling Holstein heifer presented with severe abdominal pain and distention, indicative of a serious underlying condition.

    Observation:

    • Diagnostic abdominocentesis and endoscopy confirmed a ruptured urinary bladder.
    • The rupture was attributed to adhesions from a prior urachal abscess surgery.

    Findings:

    • Metabolic imbalances were corrected through fluid diuresis and urethral catheterization.
    • Successful surgical repair of the ruptured bladder was performed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering bladder rupture in heifers with specific clinical signs.
