Abstract

Radiographic investigations were carried out on eight hundred thirty seven chelonians (turtles/tortoises) referred with complaints of anorexia, dyspnoea, weakness and dullness. Out of 837 chelonians, 221 (26.4 percent) did not reveal any radiographic abnormality. In clinically normal chelonians, heart, ovaries, liver, pancreas, urinary bladder and kidneys were not discernible radiographically. In 62.48 percent chelonians single disease viz. lung congestion/lung odema/lung infection, gastric gaseous distension, gaseous enteric distension, ileus, foreign bodies in intestines, esophagus, entroliths, heart enlargement, liver enlargement and gall bladder distension, cystoliths, metabolic bone disease or eggs in coelomic cavity were diagnosed. 11.2 percent chelonians had more than one radiographic diagnoses. Radiography is a useful diagnostic tool in chelonian medicine.
