Abstract

There are reports in the literature describing the use of several devices to perform VPS in dogs. A new device not previously described in the veterinary literature was used in this case report, and according to the manufacturer's description, this device inhibits proteinaceous build-up, which is usually responsible for subsequent catheter obstructions.
