Abstract:
A 9-year-old, spayed female, Labrador retriever was referred for evaluation of dysuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed a urethral stricture in the proximal urethra that was dilated by use of an angioplasty balloon (Gruntzig angioplasty balloon) under cystoscopic guidance. Following the procedure, the dysuria resolved.
