Abstract
A 2- year- old male, intact domestic short hair cat was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, with a history of inappetence, vomiting, dysuria, stranguria, depression and continuous urine leakage from the skin injury in perineal region. On physical examinations, temperature, pulse and capillary refill time (CRT) were decreased and pale mucosal membranes and dehydration were observed. Palpation of the abdominal region was painful and kidneys were enlarged. Penis was not present in its normal anatomical position. In biochemical analysis, significant rise in BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinin were noticed. In abdominal radiographs and ultrasonography evaluations distention of the urinary bladder and blockage in urinary tract were identified. According to these results presence of an obstruction was confirmed in the penile urethra, and consequently, perineal urethrostomy (PU) was performed for correction of obstruction and renewed urine outflow. Normal urination established in our patient after PU surgery and common post surgery complications did not occur.
