Abstract

The aim of this report is to evaluate clinical findings and treatment of infected scrotal wounds and traumatic urethral rupture in two dogs. The material of this report consists of two Kopay breed hunting dogs, aged 3.5 and 8, brought to the Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Clinic. In both cases, the wounds had been caused by a wild boar and an open, infected wound with seromucous discharge was present. The wound had laid both testes bare in the first dog, while in the second dog, only the right testis was present, the left without testis. It was detected that the urethra was ruptured in the scrotal area when a urinary catheter sent through external urethral orifice came out of the wound. Both cases underwent surgery to repair the urethra and to perform wound revision. In both cases, the catheters were left in place postoperatively until the postoperative 10^th d. Follow-up examination indicated that both animals could urinate without any problems.
