Summary
A persistent Mullerian duct in a male York Shire Terrier caused urinary issues. Surgical removal resolved the condition, allowing the dog to urinate normally post-operation.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Canine Surgery
- Reproductive Pathology
Background:
- A 14-year-old male castrated York Shire Terrier presented with stranguria and tenesmus.
- Abdominal computed tomography (CT) indicated a high suspicion of a persistent Mullerian duct.
Observation:
- Intraoperative findings revealed structures consistent with a persistent ovary and uterus.
- The abnormal uterus was fluid-filled with bilateral blind ends.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the abnormal structures was performed.
- Pathological examination confirmed the presence of a persistent Mullerian duct.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering persistent Mullerian duct in male dogs with urinary obstruction.
- Successful surgical intervention led to a full recovery and spontaneous urination.
- This case contributes to the understanding of rare reproductive anomalies in canines.
