Abstract
AbstractA 6‐month‐old, phenotypic, male Nigerian dwarf goat presented after bilateral abdominal gonadectomy for persistent urinary incontinence. Physical examination revealed a caudally positioned cliteropenis with an abnormally enlarged urethral opening. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography revealed a fluid‐filled structure dorsal to the urinary bladder. The structure was removed by caudal midline laparotomy. Communication between the structure and proximal urethra was confirmed in surgery. Unexpected separation of the structure from the urethra in surgery necessitated normograde catheterisation through a cystotomy to pull a catheter retrograde into the bladder. Histopathology confirmed the structure as a hypoplastic uterus. The goat regained normal urine continence following surgery.
