Ne. Love et al., RADIOGRAPHIC AND ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF EGG RETENTION AND PERITONITIS IN 2 GREEN IGUANAS (IGUANA-IGUANA), Veterinary radiology & ultrasound, 37(1), 1996, pp. 68-73
The radiographic technique and radiographic and sonographic findings i
n two green iguanas with egg retention and peritonitis are described.
Neither radiography nor ultrasound provided for identification of free
eggs within the coelomic structure secondary to presumed oviduct rupt
ure. Gravidity and coelomic effusion were confirmed by both radiograph
y and ultrasound. Radiography and ultrasound are valuable tools in the
diagnosis of egg retention and peritonitis in the green iguana.
