Abstract
An 10-day-old, male Jindo puppy was presented with anuria. This puppy was diagnosed as agenesis of prepuce and preputial orifice. To treat anuria exploratory operation was performed and the penis was found in situ under the skin. The penis was protruded outside of the skin. Because of strangulation and dryness of the penis by growing up, the artificial prepuce was made by making the subcutaneous tunnel. After that this puppy showed normal urination and had no complication. In case of the agenesis of the prepuce with the penis in situ, artificial prepuce by subcutaneous tunnel would be an alternative choice for saving the puppy.
