Abstract

A six months old boxer dog was presented with enlarged os clitoridis visible externally as reddish finger like structure protruding from female external genitalia. The urethral orifice was located cranially at the base of os clitoridis. Gross examination suggested hermaphroditism. Structure was ablated surgically under general anaesthesia. Satisfactory healing was observed post-operatively.
