Re: The genetics of ectopic ureters in Labrador Retrievers

Kate Fulkerson, PhD
Susan, I admire you sharing your troubles with ectopic ureter. I was really upset when there was any possibility of an ectopic ureter in my young girl. I had to wait a week while the urine was cultured and then another couple weeks before we were relatively sure she had an infection rather than an ectopic ureter.

I am thrilled to know that laser helped your girls. The alternative of untreatable is fairly disastrous. I had to live with the possibility of ectopic ureter long enough to research outcomes and pray.

Are we sure ectopic ureter is a genetically transmitted problem? Kate





well, again, i produced 5 in a small breeding program……maybe it's something else, but IMO, there is a genetic component. Hence, let the researchers research...
