Severe hydronephrosis and hydroureter associated with ectopic ureters were diagnosed in 2 dogs. Surgical transplantation of the ectopic ureters into the urinary bladder resulted in urinary continence in both dogs. Intravenous urography revealed a marked decrease in the size of hydronephrosis and hydroureter in both dogs 28 to 35 weeks after surgery. In 1 dog with bilateral ureteral ectopia, kidney size and renal function remained normal for 5 years after surgery. A dog with one ectopic ureter and an associated ureterocele had a marked reduction in size of the affected kidney and an apparent decrease in function of that kidney, as indicated by decreased opacification on an intravenous urogram.
