Abstract:
A day old calf was presented with the history of dsyuria, stranguria and absence of anal opening since its birth along with the presence of underdeveloped male genitalia and female rudimentary teats. Based on the history, clinical examination and ultrasonogram, the case was diagnosed as congenital atresia ani and urethral diverticulum in a male pseudohermaphrodite crossbred calf. Anoplasty and perineal urethrostomy were performed separately under caudal epidural analgesia using lignocaine hydrochloride (2%). The animal made an uneventful recovery after surgical management.
