The etiology of canine perineal hernia (PH) remains unclear, although as a disease of older male dogs, it is likely to be hormonal. The role of the prostate in the formation of PH has been questioned; however, prospective and systematic evaluation of prostates in these dogs is absent in the...

Due to the increased attention that pet-owners devote to their animals and to the improved veterinary care, investigations regarding methods to early detect prostatic disorders that might affect canine life quality have been performed. Canine prostate specific esterase (CPSE) concentration was...

Abnormalities of the canine prostate gland, in particular, benign hyperplasia and cysts, are frequent in dogs over 5 years of age. Treatment strategies for dogs with prostatic cysts include ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage with alcohol sclerotherapy, reduction surgery, and omentalization....

Background: Prostatic diseases in intact male dogs are common. However, studies about the computed tomographic (CT) examination of the prostate in dogs are rare. The aim of the present study was to evaluate age related-changes in the canine prostate with the help of the CT and to evaluate whether...

In the dog, prostate pathology is common. Cytology can be a valid tool for the diagnosis. The aim of this article is to list and describe different cytological aspects, of prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, prostatic cysts, and neoplasms.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the prostatic disorders based on sonographic findings in intact male dogs. Nineteen dogs of different breeds were identified ultrasonographically with various prostate abnormalities with overall incidence of 3.90% (19/487). Prevalence of various prostatic...

Early diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs using imaging methods has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. That allows accurate differentiation of BPH from other diseases, as well as timely prophylaxis and treatment. The aim of the research was to make a comparative...
