Abstract
A nine-year-old male Ibizan hound had a network of large tortuous puls ating blood vessels on the prepuce that enlarged gradually over a five month period, A diagnosis of arteriovenous fistula was based on clini cal signs, angiography and Doppler ultrasonography, Ligation of the ma jor vascular supply to the fistula resulted in only temporary improvem ent. Definitive treatment was by wide excision, with penile amputation and scrotal urethrostomy.
