Abstract

Informal reports indicate that foreign materials are injected into sites of fore and rear udder attachment of show cows to augment the contour of the udder. These substances cause localized edema. This study evaluated the sonographic appearance and pattern of distribution of edema produced by subcutaneous injection with mild silver protein suspension compared to natural causes.
