A nine‐year‐old male lbizan hound had a network of large tortuous pulsating blood vessels on the prepuce that enlarged gradually over a five month period. A diagnosis of arteriovenous fistula was based on clinical signs, angiography and Doppler ultrasonography. Ligation of the major vascular supply to the fistula resulted in only temporary improvement. Definitive treatment was by wide excision, with penile amputation and scrota1 urethrostomy.
