Abstract

Three calves which were born in a village with similar symptoms that urine ran down along the inner femoral region were referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kyungpook National University. On physical examination, there were aplasia of the penis, ventrally incomplete sheath and bifid scrotum in common. Blood cell count test and blood biochemistry test were performed and then diagnostic radiography was carried out in a case. Retrograde positive cystograph showed normal urinary bladder and no other urogenital abnormalities. The shape and size of the testes were normal on ultrasonographs, yet intact urethral wall was not detected. These cases were diagnosed as hypospadias.
