title: Bilateral ischiocavernosus myectomy for chronic urine spraying in castrated male cats.
abstract: Bilateral myectomy of the ischiocavernosus muscles was evaluated prospectively in 10 castrated male cats as a treatment for chronic urine spraying. The procedure was followed by a significant reduction in the frequency of spraying during an observation period of 4 months. Complications were not observed. Further studies are indicated.
