Prostatic abscesses may develop secondary to bacterial prostatitis or due to contamination of prostatic retention cysts or paraprostatic cysts. The objective of this report is to describe a case of prostatic and paraprostatic abscesses in a 13-year-old male dachshund in which surgical resolution was achieved by prostatic omentalization through exploratory laparotomy and pubic osteotomies. The dog was presented with apathy, anorexia, dyschezia, dysuria, and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an amorphous, heterogeneous structure with hypoechoic content and prostatic communication, displacing the urethra and colon, suggesting prostatic and paraprostatic abscesses or cysts. Omentalization of the abscesses was completed, recovery was rapid, and the dog was reported to be doing very well 1 y later. Most lesions were located in the intrapelvic region, and pubic osteotomies provided adequate working space and visualization, with rapid recovery. Key clinical message: Carrying out pubic osteotomies facilitated the approach to an intrapelvic prostatic abscess and paraprostatic infected cysts. Furthermore, hospitalization was of short duration and recovery was rapid and complete.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 2","pages":"143-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11770609/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a 3-year-old Australian shepherd dog diagnosed with UDS following bilateral enucleation and histopathology. Twelve days postoperatively, neurological symptoms developed, including head tilt, circling, and deafness. Brain MRI and CSF analyses were consistent with meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology (MUE). Oral immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone and cyclosporine) resulted in substantial improvement. Eight months later, during gradual dose reduction, MUE relapsed, prompting an increase in dose to immunosuppressive levels. The dog's death due to an unrelated cause 4 mo later prompted postmortem evaluation. This report adds to the limited literature on MUE associated with UDS in dogs and underscores challenges in diagnosis and management. Literature review suggests this is the second reported case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like meningoencephalitis in a dog and the first reported case with a confirmed diagnosis <i>via</i> MRI and CSF analyses. Key clinical message: It is important to include UDS as a differential diagnosis for dogs that present with MUE with concurrent ocular and cutaneous signs. For dogs diagnosed with UDS on histology after enucleation, more aggressive immunosuppressive treatment or vigilant monitoring for neurological signs may help prevent or slow progression to neurological involvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 2","pages":"130-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11770624/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strong predictors that improved dam survival 14 d postoperatively were shorter duration of surgery (from skin incision to calf removal), paravertebral anesthesia, exteriorizing the uterus for hysterotomy, a beef dam, the dam standing during surgery, and oversewing (double layer) the uterine incision. In contrast, strong predictors that deteriorated dam survival were a worsening uterine index score, a higher score of veterinarian dissatisfaction with the surgery, a higher lactation number, and twin pregnancy. Several variables did not significantly affect dam survival, including antisepsis type or protocol, suture material or pattern used for closure of any incision, type of antibiotic used or where applied, use of a protective drape, rinsing or cleansing the uterine incision, removing abdominal blood clots, calf sex, or cause of dystocia.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 2","pages":"177-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11770614/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
