Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever was having trouble urinating, a condition known as dysuria. After a thorough examination, the vet found a narrowing in her urethra, which was treated using a special balloon to widen the area. This procedure successfully relieved her symptoms, and she was able to urinate normally afterward.

Abstract
A 9-year-old, spayed female, Labrador retriever was referred for evaluation of dysuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed a urethral stricture in the proximal urethra that was dilated by use of an angioplasty balloon (Gruntzig angioplasty balloon) under cystoscopic guidance. Following the procedure, the dysuria resolved.
