Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old Boston terrier was diagnosed with perineal hypospadias, a condition where the urethra is not properly formed, leading to urinary issues. After surgery to repair the urethra, the dog showed significant improvement, with no further urinary infections or skin irritation from urine. Follow-up tests confirmed that the urethra was functioning well. The surgery was successful, allowing the dog to live comfortably without ongoing problems.
