Abstract
A 5-month-old, neutered male Labrador retriever developed urethral obstruction secondary to staged, bilateral, triple pelvic osteotomy procedures. Conventional medical therapy failed to resolve the urinary dysfunction, and eventual surgical correction was required. Prior anecdotal reports exist on this complication, but little to no information is available in the veterinary literature. It was the objective of this case report to document this rare complication and describe its correction.
