The case herein is the first reported case of transurethral bladder prolapse in a male of any species and remained in place without complications until the time of this report (three years after surgery). A 7-year-old castrated male rabbit was presented with a red oedematous mass at the prepuce. The tissue was identified as the urinary bladder, and the condition was diagnosed as complete transurethral urinary bladder eversion. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, the prolapse was successfully reduced and the bladder was secured to the body wall with cystopexy. The surgery was successful and the bladder remained in place without complications until the time of this report (three years after surgery). Transurethral bladder prolapse is a very rare condition previously reported only in women, mares, cows, bitches, queens, and rabbit does. The case herein is the first reported case of transurethral bladder prolapse in a male of any species.
