Abstract

Cryptorchidism is a congenital anomaly of the testicles that has a hereditary character, with great importance among the diseases that affect reproduction in canine species. The aim of the present study was to report a case of bilateral cryptorchidism in a three-year-old, mixed breed dog, treated at the Veterinary School Clinic Prof. Dr. Marcos Vinicius Tranquilim from the State University of the Midwest. After diagnostic confirmation of the location of the intra-abdominal testicles by means of ultrasonography, median retro-umbilical (pre-pubic) celiotomy was performed and orchiectomy was accomplished. The animal had a good recovery from the surgical procedure, with the removal of the stitches ten days after the surgery, which shows the effectiveness of the treatment used in this case.
