Urethral Stricture and Perineal Urethrostomy in a Ferret January 22, 2014 Erica Rangel Pre-Clinical Advisor: Dr. Jamie Morrisey Clinical Advisor: Dr. Andrew Cushing

Our Patient 3.5 year old, male castrated ferret Ferret Fun Facts! --= “mouse eating stinky thief” --strict carnivoresMustela putorious furo --Male ferret is a hob, female is a jill -- A group of ferrets is called a business

A Complex History 9/15/12: Presents to CUHA ER for stanguria; acidodic, hyperkalemic, azotemic Radiographs revealed mineralized opacities in the urinary bladder and urethra Cystotomy and urethrotomy surgeries performed DX: cystine urolithiasis Prognosis: Guarded

Pre-op OS PENIS U CATH

Post-op Cystotomy

STONE FREE !!! Post-op Urethrotomy

History continued… Represented for stranguria 11/1/12 and 6/23/13 Negative for uroliths and urinary infection Urinary catheter passed and clinical signs resolved with conservative management Diagnosis not obtained (but stricture suspected) Maintained on oral medications at home: prazosin 0.13 mg PO q24, diazepam 0.25 mg PO q12, meloxicam o.3 mg PO q24 and acepromazine 0.1 mg PO PRN

Presentation on 12/15/ hours of stranguria progressing to anuria Unresponsive to medical management PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS: BAR, euhydrated Vitals normal--T: P: 200 R:32 Painful on abdominal palpation: tense turgid bladder, could not be manually expressed Mass near left kidney?

Ferret Reference Ranges Life Span: 5-8 years T: degrees F P: bpm R: bpm Urine output: ml/day PCV: 43-55% TS: g/dL BG: AZO: <45

Stabilization Sedation: midazolam 0.5 mg/kg IM + butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg IM Pass urinary catheter: 3.5 French red rubber  40 ml urine removed Buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg SQ LRS 20 ml/kg SQ QATS: PCV 40 (mild anemia), TS 6.2, Glu 114, AZO 16-26

Urinary Obstruction: Our Top Differentials and Diagnostic Tests Urolithiasis  urinalysis and imaging Prostatomegaly or prostatic cysts  ultrasound Urethral Stricture (secondary to trauma: surgery and repeated catheterization)  contrast cystography Neoplasia  age rules down, blood work, imaging Neurologic (overstretched or upper motor neuron bladder?)  no other clinical signs rules down

Prostatomegaly: Complex Etiology Secondary to adrenal disease  affects zona reticularis  increase in ANDROGENS (not cortisol!)  prostatic hyperplasia  compresses urethra

Usually see other signs of adrenal disease like bilateral alopecia (60%) or increased aggression Adrenomegaly on imaging/palpation? Diagnose by clinical signs, definitive diagnosis requires sex hormone panel

Transfer to Exotics on 12/16/13 Bladder turgid again in AM BAR and otherwise stable OUR PLAN: Abdominal Ultrasound under sedation Continue buprenorphine 0.02 mg/kg SQ q8 Diazepam o.05 mg (up to 0.2 mg) PO q12 Place indwelling catheter Submit urinalysis

Urinalysis Unremarkable Specific Gravity pH 6.5 Trace protein, 2+ Heme Sediment Exam: <5 WBC/HPF RBC/HPF Many epithelial cells No bacteria No crystals No casts

Abdominal Ultrasound

Ultrasound Findings Possible bilateral mild adrenomegaly, but normal prostate Minuscule peritoneal fluid Top differential: perineal hernia with caudal bladder entrapment Surgery scheduled for later that afternoon

Preparing for Cystopexy

12/16/13: Cystopexy Success

Or was it? 12/17/13 Stranguria + abdominal distension; 5% dehydration cystocentesis 44 ml Medications: buprenorphine 0.02 mg/kg SQ q8, meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg SQ q24, ampicillian sublactam 22 mg/kg SQ q8, diazepam PRN Suspect reherniation

Ultrasound Take 2

More Imaging: Contrast Cystography Definitive Diagnosis: penile urethral stricture with severely dilitated pelvic urethra and iatrogenic urethral tear secondary to cystocentesis

Another surgery 12/19/13: Microscopic Perineal Urethrostomy

Post-Operative Care Continue to monitor for urination Mild incontinence noted  keep abdomen and stoma clean and dry! Monitored in ICU 24 hours: IV fluids 3ml/hr, buprenophine, meloxicam, ampicillin sublactam Jugular catheter removed, transitioned to oral meds Discharged 12/20/13 --Meloxicam 0.2 ml PO SID x4 --Diazepam ml q12 PRN --TMS 15 mg/kg q12 PO x10 days --Tramadol 5 mg/kg 0.35 ml PO q12-24 PRN x7 days

Patient continues to urinate well at home No more incontinence No longer on any medications Energy level off the walls Needs to come back for 3 week recheck O very thankful Outcome

Total Cost: $ $ /15/12 $ /01/12 $ /24/13 $ /15/13 That’s LOVE!

Lessons Learned Don’t overly rely on one diagnostic Don’t assume what “financial” means to your client Look for horses before zebras—ferret perineal hernia never documented in literature
