| − | Displacements of the bladder include torsion, retroflexion and eversion through the urethra. Urnine stasis that occurs secondarily to displacements predisposes the urinary tract to infection. | |
| − | ==Retroflexion==
| |
| − | *Is a sequel of vaginal prolapse or perineal hernias.
| |
| − | **Perineal hernias can lead to serious complications such as hydronephrosis or bladder rupture.
| |
| − | *Can occur in dogs as a result of tenesmus secondary to constipation or prostatic enlargement.
| |
| − | ==Eversion through the urethra==
| |
| − | *The short, wide urethra of females permits prolapse of the bladder.
| |
| − | *Follows straining, especially during parturition.
| |
