Abstract
Renal dysplasia is an inherited or congenital disease that causes chronic nephropathy in young individuals. The clinical signs are related to chronic renal failure and include anorexia, lethargy, polyuria, intense vomiting and weight loss. The diagnosis is made through laboratory and image exams. Treatment is generally conservative and symptomatic. The prognosis depends on the severity of the dysplasia. However, the animal usually dies within a few months. The objective of this work was to report the clinical case of a canine, male, American Bully, un castrated, seven months old who was diagnosed with renal dysplasia.
