Abstract
A clinical case of a post-castration complication in a bitch is reported. In the paralumbar region, a fistula-forming granuloma located caudally to the left kidney was observed. Granuloma was formed around a piece of multifilament non-absorbable thread used for ligature during an ovariohysterectomy performed two years ago. The operative removal of the granuloma was accompanied by left nephrec-tomy. The post operative period was smooth and 4 months later, the dog was clinically healthy.
