    Journal: J Med Primatol; 2009 Dec; 38(6):433-7. PubMed ID: 19744169.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A 34-year-old, captive-born, vasectomized male chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) presented with lethargy and scrotal swelling. METHODS: Urethral obstruction was diagnosed via urethroscopy. RESULTS: Removal of the grass stem foreign body resolved the obstruction. Scrotal and preputial ulceration developed from urine scald, which was managed with surgical debridement and antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: After 7 weeks, the animal was reintroduced to its troup and has been healthy for 11 months.
