Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old male British Bulldog was brought in for severe difficulty urinating after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. After placing a stent to relieve a urinary blockage, the dog developed urinary incontinence. To address this, the veterinarian performed a collagen injection near the urethra. Thankfully, this treatment worked well, and the dog did not have any incontinence issues for the next 10 months.

Abstract
An 8-year-old, entire, male British Bulldog was referred for a week-long history of severe stranguria and dysuria. A prostatic wash was diagnostic of prostatic carcinoma. A transluminal urethral stent was placed in the proximal urethra, which resulted in resolution of the urinary obstruction, however, the dog developed severe urinary incontinence after the procedure. Cystoscopically-guided submucosal collagen injections were performed immediately proximal to the os penis. The dog's incontinence resolved with a single collagen injection for the 10-month follow-up period.
