Abstract

Urethral obstruction, partial or total, is one of the main emergencies in small animals. It can be caused by uroliths, neoplasia, granuloma or due to penile trauma in males. The epidemiological profile of the disease shows that it occurs more frequently in male dogs, being rare in puppies and common in animals between 6 and 11 years of age. The most common clinical signs are hematuria, anuria, dysuria and urinary incontinence. The present report aims to describe the occurrence of this pathology in a dog, male, age 2 years, Pug breed, who underwent urethral clearance and cystotomy to remove uroliths.
