ABSTRACT
Case summary:
An 11-year-old neutered male Turkish Angora cat was referred for obstructive feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). On physical examination, the penis was curved at the tip and had a smaller than normal urethral opening proximal to the end, consistent with singular glandular hypospadias with a dorsal penile curvature. Because of its recurrent obstructive FLUTD history and inability to catheterise the urethra, a preputial urethrostomy (PRU) was performed. The PRU resolved the clinical signs with no clinical recurrence and no short- or long-term complications. Relevance and novel information To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of singular glandular hypospadias in a cat. In addition, this is the first time feline hypospadias has been reported to occur with obstructive FLUTD and to be treated by preputial urethrostomy.
