Plain-English summary
A dog with a serious kidney infection called a perinephric abscess was successfully treated using a surgical procedure that involved removing the outer layer of the kidney (capsulotomy) and attaching a piece of tissue from the abdomen (omentopexy) to help with healing. This condition is rare and can be challenging to manage, but the surgery helped the dog recover. After the treatment, the dog showed improvement and was able to return to normal activities.
