Abstract

A 3-year old female Poodle dog was presented with a history of anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain and depression for 2 days. After physical and blood examination, excretory urogram(EU) and ultrasonography of the abjomen were conducted. On radiographs and ultrasonographs, dilation of diverticulum, sinus, proximal ureter of right kidney and mild dilation of left renal medullar were found. And there was some leakage of contrast agent in the proximal ureter area of right kidney. So this was diagnosed as a rupture of right proximal ureter. This dog was undertaken a surgery of nephrectomy of right kidney. On surgery, dilation of right kidney and hemorrhage, adhesion were found at the proximal ureter and some calculi were also found in the pelvis of right kidney. There were no complications after surgery.
