Intrapelvic hemangiosarcoma (IP HSA) is an uncommon primary location of canine HSA, and its presentation appears to be different than that of other intra-abdominal HSA locations. The objectives of this study were to report on the clinical presentation, diagnostic options, and clinical outcomes of ...

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) usually affects the trigone region of the bladder and proximal portion of the urethra. TCC in dogs is often complicated by local tumor invasion and obstruction of the urethra, ureters, or both. Urinary obstruction is the cause of death in approximately 60% of dogs...

Background: Urethral obstruction secondary to artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation is a recognized complication in dogs. However, urethral obstruction secondary to AUS-associated capsule formation has been described rarely. Hypothesis: Describe clinical and diagnostic findings,...

Objective: To describe a novel modified preputial urethrostomy with preservation of the local anatomy in 4 dogs. Study design: Short case series. Animals: Four client-owned male dogs. Methods: Dogs presented for dysuria and urethral obstruction and underwent a modified preputial urethrostomy as a...

Objective: To describe penile urethral augmentation anastomosis (PURAA) for resection anastomosis (RA) of the canine penile urethra by using autogenous tissue in two dogs and to determine the mechanical properties of the augmentation technique in cadaveric specimens. Study design: Cadaveric study...

Urethral stent placement is a minimally invasive interventional procedure commonly performed by specialists to alleviate urethral obstruction. However, the availability of urethral stents is limited by their high cost and the need for special equipment. The aim of this retrospective study was to...

Progression of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) in dogs often leads to urinary obstruction. This observational pilot study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) balloon therapy for the palliative treatment of TCC with partial urethral obstruction. Three...

Feline transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is a rare neoplasia of cats with an estimated prevalence of 0.18%. Cats with TCC share clinical signs with common pathologies like feline idiopathic cystitis or urinary tract infections. Nonspecific clinical signs include hematuria, pollakiuria, or...

OBJECTIVE: To describe outcomes for dogs that underwent balloon dilation for palliative treatment of urethral obstruction caused by urothelial carcinoma. ANIMALS: 12 client-owned dogs. PROCEDURES: Medical records were searched to identify dogs with urothelial (bladder, urethra, or prostate)...

A 10-year-old, male intact, mixed breed dog was admitted with a history of intermittent lower urinary tract signs of 18-months duration. Dysuria, stranguria, pollakiuria and overflow incontinence developed 2 weeks prior to presentation, while vomiting, polydipsia and anorexia were seen a few days...
