Abdominal ultrasonography was performed on a caprine doe with anorexia, dysuria, and a palpable abdominal mass. Ultrasonography of a large firm mass situated cranial to the pelvic brim revealed a distended urinary bladder, which was confirmed by a dynamic bubble study. The left kidney had a large anechoic renal medulla and dilated renal pelvis and ureter consistent with ureteropyelectasia. Necropsy confirmed the existence of hydronephrosis and hydroureter, as well as cystitis, pyelonephritis, and partial urinary tract obstruction. The cause of the obstructive uropathy was a mass of fibrous tissue that obliterated the uterine cervix and partially obstructed the urethra and left ureter. The cause was presumed to be a cervical trauma from dystocia and forced extraction of a kid, with subsequent chronic fibrosis.
