Associations between the clinical signs, use of abdominal ultrasonography, results of abdominal ultrasonography and subsequent work\u2010up were examined. The utility of abdominal ultrasonography was scored as high, moderate, none or counterproductive based on review of medical records.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Medical records of 269 dogs were reviewed, of which 149 (55%) had abdominal ultrasonography. The most frequent result was no ultrasonographic abnormalities affecting the intestine in 65 (44%) dogs. Ultrasonography results were associated with subsequent work\u2010up as follows: (1) no detected abnormalities and dietary trial; (2) focal thickening of the intestinal wall, loss of intestinal wall layers or enlarged abdominal lymph nodes and ultrasound\u2010guided fine\u2010needle aspirates; (3) diffuse thickening of the intestinal wall or hyperechoic striations in the small intestinal mucosa and endoscopy; and (4) small intestinal foreign body and coeliotomy. Abdominal ultrasonography was considered to be diagnostic without further testing in only four (3%) dogs: two had a portosystemic shunt identified ultrasonographically, one had a linear foreign body and one had a perforated pyloric ulcer. Abdominal ultrasonography had moderate utility in 56 (38%) dogs and no utility in 79 (53%) dogs. Abdominal ultrasonography was considered counterproductive in 10 (7%) dogs because results were either falsely negative or falsely positive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results should prompt clinicians to reconsider routine use of abdominal ultrasonography in dogs with diarrhoea.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.12780","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,3]],"date-time":"2017-11-03T17:28:50Z","timestamp":1509730130000},"page":"32-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["How useful is abdominal ultrasonography in dogs with diarrhoea?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"E.
