• A 9‐year‐old 6‐kg male castrated mixed‐breed dog was admitted to the hospital as a second opinion for left‐sided nephrectomy. Plain radiographs, ultrasound, excretory urography and retrograde urethrography revealed left‐sided hydronephrosis and calculi in the bladder and urethra. The urethral calculi were hydropropulsed into the bladder and nephrectomy and cystotomy were performed. Three days after surgery, the patient showed preputial inflammation, pain and pollakiuria. Retrograde urethrography was repeated and extra‐urethral leakage of contrast medium into the penile tissue was identified, followed by filling of the draining veins, reaching the caudal vena cava, with subsequent opacification of the right renal pelvis and ureter and opacification of a lymph node. The dog improved during hospitalisation and a retrograde urography performed 6 months after the initial surgery confirmed full recovery.
