A 10-week-old sexually intact female golden retriever was evaluated for two functional anal openings and a bipartite vulva. Examination revealed haired skin between two separate anatomically smaller anal openings. On rectal palpation, a sof tissue septum (5 cm) with a mucosal surface between the two anal openings was palpated. In addition, circumferential rectal musculature was not appreciated on the ventral aspect. Urogenital evaluation revealed duplication of the vestibule and vagina with a complete centrally located septum extending dorsoventrally. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis, vaginocystourethrogram, and colonogram were performed. Complete bifurcation of the urinary bladder with duplication of the urethra, cervix, and vaginal canal was noted. Approximately 2 cm from the rectum, there was a similar bifurcation that converged the colon into two rectal portions and separate anal openings. Te owner was counseled on the severity of congenital malformations and a high likelihood of aging-related developmental complications in the future. Te owner elected humane euthanasia and a necropsy was performed to confrm the malformations. 1. Introduction A diagnosis of complete urogenital and anorectal duplication was made via contrast computed tomography and necropsy in a 10-week-old intact female golden retriever. Clinical signs included smaller, sof, poorly formed, fecal material from both anal openings and urinary incontinence which had been present since birth. Advanced imaging of the patient was pursued, but surgical correction was declined. A necropsy was performed to further investigate the anatomical variations in this patient. Tese congenital abnormalities were reviewed in the veterinary literature and compared with human descriptions of similar abnormalities. 2. Case Description A 10-week-old 9.6 kg sexually intact, female, golden retriever puppy was purposefully bred and born via cesarean sec- tion with ten other littermates (seven females and three males). Te female dog in question had two smaller than anatomically normal slit-like anal openings with haired skin coursing between the two distinct orifces. Te referring veterinarian examined and explored the female puppy’s abnormality afer birth and ruled out a persistent anal membrane. No further treatment or surgery was performed since the female puppy did not appear to have difculty with defecation. Te dog was then referred to the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital for further evaluation and exploration of surgical treatment options. On presentation, the dog was bright, alert, and in good condition, with a body condition score of 5/9 and normal vital signs. Te owner reported the patient defecated through both anal openings without tenesmus and noted that the fecal material was mostly sof and of poorly formed consistency. During the physical examination, the dog became excited and dribbled urine in several small spots. Further discussion with the owner revealed that she frequently found urine on the foor but did not recognize this as a sign of incontinence. On physical examination, the lef anal orifce was situated 3-4 mm of midline, was smaller in diameter, and had a slit-like Hindawi Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine Volume 2019, Article ID 3696978, 5 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/3696978
