Abstract
Eight dogs were presented with anal sacculitis with purulent exudates and/or open in the right or left anal sac. Patient dogs, ranging in size from 3-to-8 kg, were treated with closed anal sacculectomies, in which the balloon of a Foley catheter (No. 6, 1.5 ml) was used to facilitate surgical dissection of the sac. In all cases, the Foley catheter successfully distended the anal sac during its removal. Clinical signs associated with the diseased anal sac were abated In the all dogs for a follow-up period of one-to-three months. Anal sacculectomy is a good therapeutic option for cases of chronic anal sacculectomy or impaction. The use of a small Foley catheter to distend the anal sacs during surgery was easy, Inexpensive, and successful.
