Hypospadias, diverticulum, and agenesis in the penile shaft of a goat kid (Capra hircus)

The purpose of this study is to report a rare congenital urinary tract anomaly in a goat kid. A 2-day-old male goat ( Capra hircus ) showed depression, inappetence, pain, vocalizing, and the existence of a small bag at the bottom of the abdominal region. Physical examination revealed the absence of fever, increased heart rate, and increased breathing rate. The urinary tract was absent in the anterior part of the urethra (agenesis). Urine was contained in the penile urethral diverticulum. The urethral process was absent. A slot on the diverticulum was created with a surgical blade. The gap was not sutured. The kid was treated with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Ten days later, the kid was reexamined, and the edges of the urine output gap in the bottom of the diverticulum were relieved. Urine passed readily from this opening, and clinical symptoms were absent.
