Abstract

The present case report aims to present a case of type III anal atresia, with megacolon and vaginal fistula in a dog with no defined breed. The surgical technique used and post-surgical management with daily enemas and hydration was effective in restoring normal bowel motility. Atresia is uncommon in the veterinary clinic, and its main complication is colon impaction due to megacolon. In the present case the patient presented polycythemia which is another case that confirms the presence of polycythemia in the presence of megacolon.
