Abstract
Five dogs were referred with the symptoms of multiple urethral and cystic calculi. Lateral radiograph of the abdomen revealed the presence of multiple radio opaque calculi in the urinary bladder and urethra. The retrograde hydro-propulsion was not successful to dislodge the urethral calculi. The cases were successfully treated by urethrotomy and cystotomy under general anaesthesia for removal of multiple urethral and cystic calculi. Post operatively all the animals were maintained with low protein diet, ad libido drinking water and minimal salt intake resulted in uneventful recovery.
