Abstract
This case study documents the first surgical management aimed at alleviating urinary discomfort and improving quality of life of intersex condition in an one‐month-old goat (Capra hircus) in Bangladesh. The case was presented at the Professor Mosleh Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury (PMAC) Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Sylhet Agricultural University. The kid exhibited clinical signs of diarrhea, anorexia, and unusual bleating during urination. Physical examination revealed the presence of both male and female reproductive structures, including two conspicuous testicles and a vaginal tract. Diagnosis was confirmed through external evaluation. Surgical intervention included gonadectomy and urogenital reconstruction under general anesthesia. The procedure, conducted via an open surgical technique, successfully removed the non-functional gonadal tissue while ensuring proper closure and sealing of skin/muscle over the empty scrotum. Post-operatively, the animal received appropriate antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatments, resulting in an uneventful recovery characterized by resolved dysuria and a normal urine stream. This case underscores the importance of early detection and intervention in managing reproductive anomalies in goats, and highlights the need for further genetic studies to better understand the etiology of intersex conditions.

Key words: Goat, Intersex, Surgical management, PMAC, Bangladesh
