Abstract
Because black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are used as a model for research on gallstones and bacterial infections, performing urinary evaluations can provide invaluable data. This case report involves 5 prairie dogs that developed moist necrotic skin lesions after urine collection by cystocentesis. The information presented here serves as a resource regarding a potential adverse event that may develop after cystocentesis in black-tailed prairie dogs.
