9 year old FS Husky mix current UTI and non-regenerative disease. Unremarkable ultrasound other than finding this distended left ureter. Was thinking it is an ectopic ureter, but pcDVM later found out pet has had surgery for this with the ureter having been attached to the lateral blad wall. I would love some input on what you think. I could follow the ureter from the kidney (no distended pelvis) to just cranial to the urinary bladder where it tapered (on 1 video). Then I could pick it up in the trigone region and proximal urethra. Not sure if those tubes communicate with bladder/urethra

Looks like an ectopic ureter to me…. if they did a transposition is may have strictured and this is whats left? would have ot dig into the surgical technique they used. Shouldnt dribble form this one though as it enters before the cuj and not after but recurrent uti may be an issue.
Thank you, Eric! What imaging modality do you think would be most helpful to confirm what is going on – CT? urethroscopy? laparoscopy?
