Abstract

The urachal is an embryonic vestige, which announced the development in the gallbladder urinary navel and allantoic sack, with the task of eliminating urine through placental. With the full development of the fetus, urachal returns and loses its function and the urine will be eliminated only by urethra. Abnormalities related to not closing of urachal can be identified in dogs, among them the vesico-urachal diverticulum. This paper reports the case of a female dog, adult, with recurrent episodes of cystitis with good initial response with antibiotic therapy. During the ultrassonografic examination it was shown cystic training with gallbladder urinary suggesting occurrence of vesico-urachal diverticulum. During the exploratory laparotomy likely diagnosis was confirmed.
