Case reports of ectopic ureters in a 2 1/2‐month‐old colt and a 4 1/2‐month‐old filly are presented. Diagnosis was made by retrograde cystography and excretory urography. The ureters were surgically transposed into the bladder. A functional urinary system was reestablished in both foals, but they died of postoperative complications.
