Plain-English summary
A young female dog was brought in with a bulging bladder (cystocele) and a rectal prolapse, where the rectum had slipped out of place. The veterinarian performed surgery to reposition and secure both the bladder and rectum. After the procedure, the dog showed no signs of problems, and there was no recurrence of the issues after three months. This case is notable as it is the first report of cystocele in a young female dog that has never been pregnant.
