Abstrakt: Congenital urogenital anomalies are well recognized, but infrequent findings in dogs. A three-year-old female pug dog was presented with a history of having discomfort in sitting position and enlarged clitoris visible externally as reddish penis-like structure protruding from the vulva. Gross examination of protruding clitoris revealed that it was supported by palpable Os clitoridis suggestive of female pseudohermaphroditism. The urethral orifice was located cranially to the base of the clitoris. A plain radiograph revealed the presence of bony structure Os clitoridis in valvular region. The structure was excised surgically under general anaesthesia. Satisfactory healing was observed post-operatively. Ovariohysterectomy was performed two months later. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
