In males, the prepuce should be cleansed, and the penis must be exteriorized, which can be difficult, particularly in juveniles. In prepubertal males, adhesions are present between the penis and the sheath. Sedation is highly recommended. An assistant should be available to grasp the penis with gauze, which has been unfolded and made linear. The penis and prepuce are manipulated and the penis extended beyond the prepuce (Figure 49.4). The glans penis is grasped with the gauze. (See Figure 49.5.) Camelids have a corkscrew cartilaginous process extending from the glans. The urethral orifice is located below the cartilaginous appendage at the end of the penis (See Figure 49.6.) Unlike sheep and goats, this cartilaginous appendage is not a continuation of the urethra. A 3.5 French catheter may then be passed into the urethra (See Figure 49.7.)
