How do dogs get Cystocentesis?
To perform cystocentesis, clip and surgically prepare the skin over the cystocentesis site on the ventral abdomen. Perform cystocentesis by placing the needle in the ventral abdominal wall slightly (3 to 5 cm) cranial to the junction of the bladder with the urethra. Insert the needle at a 45-degree angle (Figure 4-17).
