Abstract
An eight-month-old male pug, weighing 6 kg was presented with a history of protrusion of reddish mass from the tip of penis for the past three days. Clinical examination of the penis revealed urethral prolapse (Fig. 1). The physical and haematobiochemical parameters were within the normal range. Initially the condition was treated by applying icepacks over the prolapsed mass, along with systemic antibiotic and steroids therapy. Elizabethan collar was advised to prevent self licking and trauma to the prolapsed mass. Since there was no improvement in the condition with above treatment, surgical resection of the prolapsed mass was undertaken.
