Two cases of bilateral ureteric rupture in dogs are reported. Both dogs were presented following road traffic accidents with signs of depression and abdominal distension. Both animals were azotaemic and abdominal fluid analysis was consistent with uroabdomen. In case 1, the injuries affected the proximal portion of both ureters and the dog was euthanased. In case 2, the ruptures were located more distally and a ureteroneocystostomy was performed, with contralateral ureteronephrectomy. This dog is clinically normal 16 months postoperatively.
