Hypospadias in a Sheltie puppy: A case report

Hypospadias in dogs is a rare pathology in the veterinary practice. The manifestation of hypospadias in dogs is diverse, since there is a varying degree of damage to the urogenital apparatus. The owners of a Sheltie puppy at the age of 3 days came to the clinic due to the difficulty of determining sex, the presence of inflammation of the anus and abdominal skin, defecation and urination violations. Clinical examination of the puppy showed a blind-closed preputial sac, absence of the ventral wall of the prepuce and an open urogenital urine trough was located in its place in the abdominal wall area. On examination of the puppy at the age of 28 days, hyperaemia and swelling of the anus were noted, as well as prolapse of the rectum. Findings of the examination at the age of 4 months consisted of drying of the mucous part of the open urogenital canal chute and accumulation of pus in the underdeveloped preputial sac. Bilateral cryptorchidism and the absence of the scrotum were also found out. A decision on the surgical treatment was made. The anus and the opening of the urethra were separated to form a urethrostomy in the scrotum and restore the integrity of the anus. On the 5th post operative day, oedema and stricture of the reconstructed urethra resulted in difficulty urinating, followed by the formation of urinary fistula in the perineal region below the anus opening. As a result of the chosen surgical treatment approach, the problem with contact dermatitis of the perineum and pollakiuria was solved.

Penile Urethral Hypospadias with Two Fistulae and Diverticulum in a Saanen Kid

Hypospadias is a rare congenital defect reported in most animal species and humans. This case study reports a hypospadiac case in a goat kid with urethral diverticulum diagnosed in Sudan for the first time. A 45-day-old male kid was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST), with a history of an increasing prescrotal swelling. At presentation in the clinic the kid was bright and alert and the vital parameters were within the normal physiological range. Ultrasonography was performed to assess the integrity of the urinary system using (3.5-5) MHz curvilinear probe and it revealed normal kidneys and a distended urinary bladder. The kid was referred to surgery and two hypospadiac urinary fistulae were found. One fistula was sutured and the other was not corrected due to catheterization failure.
