Congenital Ureteral Ectopia in Continent and Incontinent-Related Entlebucher Mountain Dogs: 13 Cases (2006–2009)

Abstract

Ureteral ectopia is common in North American Entlebucher Mountain Dogs and clinical signs alone could not reliably predict disease phenotype. EVEUs were associated with urinary incontinence and occasionally hydronephrosis. IVEUs were clinically silent or associated with hydronephrosis. Further analyses are necessary to confirm and characterize the hereditary nature of the disorder.
