I won’t be posting here any longer. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give BlueSky a try. Lots of people are active over there and it seems like a great time to rebuild. You can find me @kidneyvet.bsky.social. Hope to see you there!

13 yr spayed chihuahua w/ chronic partial R ureteral obstruction. Ureterogram performed during stent placement. Has anyone seen a ureter look like this? Weird symmetric cystic out pouching I've never seen before. No ureteral changes seen on US a few months ago. #vetneph #askrenal

Some colleagues helped me out- ureteral pseudodiverticulosis. Associated with chronic pyelonephritis and rarely metastatic carcinoma (usually renal or UVJ in origin). This patient has a history of chronic UTIs, so pyelo would fit well.

A very rare case of a left sided retrocaval ureter. Very uncommon in dogs. The ureter collapses against the vessel and the lumbar muscles and produces hydronephrosis. The kidney is still alive so we will try to fix it. #nefrovetcolombia #nefroveteam
