Bilateral ureteral ligation was performed through the left paralumbar fossa in 4 clinically healthy adult Borno White goats. Clinical effects of uraemia were observed 24 hours after surgery when anuria had set in and included in appetence, depression, coughing, stretching of the neck, laboured breathing with inspiratory wheezing sound, serous to mucous ocular and nasal discharges, and terminal paralysis and convulsion. Haematological changes observed included anaemia from day 2 after surgery and lymphocytosis on days 1 and 2, leukocytosis on day 3, neutrophilia on days 3 and 5 and eosinopenia on days 9 and 11 after Surgery. At post-mortem, the major lesions observed were bronchopneumonia, renal tubular necrosis and gastroenteritis.
