| description | Phimosis is a rare condition in dogs, characterized by the inability to retract the foreskin, resulting in discomfort for affected animals. This disease can be congenital or acquired, secondary to inflammatory and neoplastic processes, as well as to laceration and scarring. The most common complication of phimosis is balanoposthitis. The objective was to report a case of phimosis in a puppy treated at the Uningá veterinary clinic. The two-month-old, mixed-breed dog presented increased preputial volume, pollakiuria, dysuria, and pain when having its foreskin manipulated. No alterations were evidenced by hematological exams. The animal was subjected to ultrasound examination for other possible causes of phimosis, such as neoplasms, to be ruled out. The patientwas referred for postioplasty and elective orchiectomy procedures. We conclude that phimosis in dogs is a rare condition, but it presents a good prognosis in the short and medium terms, as long as the surgical intervention is performed correctly. |
