Abstract
AbstractA 5‐year‐old intact male mixed‐breed dog presented with a 3‐day history of stranguria and dysuria. Results of physical examination, plain radiographs, and ultrasonography were consistent with a traumatic urethral stricture in the prescrotal urethra just under the previous trauma region, resulting in partial obstruction of urine outflow. Contrast‐enhanced voiding urosonography (CE‐VUS) was performed, and a urethral stricture was confirmed. The dog underwent surgery. A scrotal urethrostomy was performed. After 3 days of hospitalization, the dog was discharged from the Clinic. Based on an extensive literature review, this is the first report using CE‐VUS to evaluate urethral pathology in a canine patient.
