Case Report

Unusual Urethral Calculi in Two Male Dogs

S. Brent Reimer, DVM, Andrew E. Kyles, BVMS, PhD, Diplomate ACVS, Kurt S. Schulz, MS, Diplomate ACVS, Lynda Bernsteen, DVM, Diplomate ACVS, John D. Wooldridge, DVM, Diplomate ACVS and Gerald V. Ling, DVM

From the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (Reimer, Bernsteen, Wooldridge) and the Departments of Surgical and Radiological Sciences (Kyles, Schulz) and Medicine and Epidemiology (Ling), School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California 95616.

The clinical presentation and advanced size of the two calculi described in this report are both atypical and noteworthy. Both dogs were presented initially with signs of hematuria, stranguria, and perineal discomfort. Each calculus was visible on survey abdominal radiographs and was present in the region of the ischial arch. Both dogs underwent a perineal urethrotomy to retrieve the calculus. Resolution of clinical signs was obtained in one case, which was referred within 2 months of the onset of clinical signs. The second dog was medically managed for approximately 2.5 years before referral. Surgical intervention failed to restore urinary continence in this second dog. Early detection of similar cases may be important in optimizing clinical outcome following appropriate treatment.
