Heartworm disease in domestic dogs is a preventable disease caused by infection with the parasite, Dirofilaria immitis, that can lead to severe pulmonary and cardiac disease. Prevention is through consistent use of FDA-approved heartworm preventive (HWP) products. Banfield® Pet Hospital (Banfield PH), the largest network of primary care small animal hospitals in the United States, carries 11 HWP products for dogs in its formulary.

BACKGROUND: Ureteroceles are a rare condition in dogs in which conventional treatments can result in substantial morbidity. Cystoscopic and fluoroscopic-guided laser ablation (CLA) of ureteroceles can successfully relieve obstruction.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the technique and outcomes of attempting CLA for treatment of ureteroceles in dogs.

ANIMALS: Thirteen client-owned dogs that underwent CLA for treatment of ureteroceles.

METHODS: Retrospective multicentered study. Medical records were reviewed in all dogs that underwent CLA for ureterocele(s). A laser was used to extend the opening of the ureteral orifice (UO) unless surgical conversion was necessary. Data collected included signalment, clinicopathologic data, imaging, procedural findings, complications, …
