DARCIE
Thursday 25th August 2022
Darcie was adopted mid July and you may remember she had had problems with incontinence which was showing signs of improvement on medication prescribed by our vets..however after a short while Darcie started to leak small amounts which gradually increased and was continually licking herself.... We asked her new owners to contact our vets who advised a referral to Langford vets. After investigations including bloods tests, urinalysis ... ultrasound and computed tomography scan were supportive of a diagnosis of a left intramural ectopic ureter. An appointment was made for Darcie to go in for Cystoscopy and laser ablation.
The difference this has made to Darcie has been incredible.... her new owners have said she is like a new dog and thus far there have been no more leaks. She has also stopped the persistent licking.
Intramural ectopic ureter is an abnormality whereby dogs and cats are born with ureters that do not enter the bladder the right way leading to incontinence
