Causes of canine prostate cysts:
Obstruction of the prostatic duct can lead to the accumulation of secretions and the formation of cysts. It is also due to the remnants of the mesonephric ducts in the prostate during the embryonic stage. Prostatic chambers are formed to accumulate secretions.
Diagnostic criteria for canine prostate cysts:
Digital rectal examination and abdominal palpation, combined with X-ray imaging or B-ultrasound examination, can confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment methods for canine prostate cysts:
Puncture and draining the accumulated fluid in the cyst can relieve symptoms, but it is easy to relapse, and repeated puncture can easily cause infection. In order to prevent infection, antibiotics can be injected into the cyst. For sick dogs that are weak and unfit for surgery, only conservative treatment can be adopted.
