A 14-year-old FS Mix breed dog with a history of UTI that had responded to Baytril and Clavamox was presented for evaluation of PU/PD. Physical examination was normal. On urinalysis, round cells with prominent nuclei were evident.
The urinary bladder presented trace bladder calculi. This was considered non-obstructive at this time. The bladder itself was unremarkable with normal wall thickness and anechoic urine. The urethra in this patient revealed a mineralizing mass extending at least 3 cm caudal to the cystourethral junction and measured 0.7 cm in width. The urethral mass was also confirmed in short axis. Kidneys were unremarkable.
Cystoscopy and ultrasound guided laser ablation is recommended in this patient.
Bladder – uroliths, neoplasia, resistant bacterial infection, polyploid cystitis
Kidneys – renoliths, neoplasia, pyelonephritis
