Skye is a Husky Cross who was referred to Langford Vets Soft Tissue Team aged just four months old. Her owners had noticed a wet patch of urine on the floor after Skye had been lying down, this deteriorated as she grew and her vet referred her for incontinence as they suspected ectopic ureters (a condition where the ureters do not empty into the bladder and drain somewhere outside the bladder instead).
Skye came to our Small Animal Referral Hospital and ultrasound and CT scans revealed that one of her ureters was not emptying into her bladder but into her urethra (the tube connecting the bladder to the outside world). Our Soft Tissue Surgery Team used a laser alongside one of our new cystoscopes to correct the issue.
