The diagnosis of ureteral duplication was established through a combination of ultrasonography, computed tomography scanning, and cystoscopy\/vaginoscopy. Despite initial medical intervention, the dog\u2019s clinical condition did not improve. Consequently, surgical treatment was pursued to remove the duplicated ureter while preserving the integrity of the urinary tract. Resection of the duplicated ureter was performed from the kidney to the bladder, and the blind ends left in place in the kidney and in the bladder wall were omentalized. Histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of the duplicated ureter. Postoperatively, the dog made a full recovery with no complications or urinary tract dysfunction. Long-term follow-up (11 mo) revealed complete resolution of all clinical signs. Ureteral duplication should be included in the differential diagnosis of vulvar purulent discharge in dogs. Removal of the abnormal ureter resulted in complete resolution of the clinical signs. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment plans for ureteral duplications in dogs and the potential for successful surgical treatment in selected cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T11:31:39Z","timestamp":1725535899000},"page":"214-218","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nonfunctional Incomplete Infected Ureteral Duplication in a French Bulldog"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"Rousseau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Small Animal Surgery Department (T.R., O.G., P.M.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Fusellier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Imaging Department (M.F.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Djemil","family":"Bencharif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Health and Public Health Department (D.B.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine Department (J.H.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Gauthier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Small Animal Surgery Department (T.R., O.G., P.M.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Maitre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Small Animal Surgery Department (T.R., O.G., P.M.), Oniris, Nantes-Atlantic College of Veterinary Medicine, Food Sciences and Engineering, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b1","series-title":"Vet Radiol Ultrasound","first-page":"485","article-title":"Ureteral duplication in a dog","volume":"46","author":"Esterline","year":"2005"},{"issue":"6","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b2","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"462","article-title":"Double ureters with ureteral ectopia in a domestic shorthair cat","volume":"42","author":"Ghantous","year":"2006"},{"issue":"9","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b3","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"475","article-title":"Surgical treatment of a duplicated and ectopic ureter in a dog","volume":"55","author":"Newman","year":"2014"},{"issue":"7","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b4","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"386","article-title":"Duplicated ectopic ureter in a nine-year-old Labrador","volume":"54","author":"Novellas","year":"2013"},{"issue":"5","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b5","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"484","article-title":"Renal and ureteral duplication in a dog","volume":"174","author":"O\u2019Handley","year":"1979"},{"issue":"8","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b6","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"1641","article-title":"Surgical treatment and outcome of complete unilateral urinary tract duplication in a dog","volume":"49","author":"Sprocatti","year":"2020"},{"issue":"6","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b7","series-title":"Urology","first-page":"1202","article-title":"Laparoscopic upper pole partial nephrectomy for duplicated renal collecting systems in adult patients","volume":"69","author":"Abouassaly","year":"2007"},{"issue":"4","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b8","series-title":"JSLS","first-page":"575","article-title":"Ureteric duplication is not a contraindication for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy and intracorporeal Studer pouch formation","volume":"15","author":"Canda","year":"2011"},{"issue":"1","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b9","series-title":"Pediatr Surg Int","first-page":"115","article-title":"Prevalence of duplex collecting systems in familial vesicoureteral reflux","volume":"26","author":"Hunziker","year":"2010"},{"issue":"7","key":"i0587-2871-60-5-214-b10","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"407","article-title":"Canine ureteral ectopia\u2013a review. 1.
