Plain-English summary
A 1-year-old male Persian cat was experiencing urinary incontinence due to a condition called bilateral ectopic ureters, where the ureters are not properly positioned. After diagnosing the issue, the veterinarian performed surgery to implant both ureters into the bladder correctly. Following the operation, the cat had a recovery period with specific post-operative care. The treatment was successful, and the cat's urinary incontinence improved significantly after the surgery.
