common in what?
infection by what?
- open catstration
“scirrhous” cord (a firm or hard spermatic cord caused by extensive scarring)
pigs
Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.
(05)

(Pseudomonas, E.coli, and Streptococcus also have been incriminated)
(7)
(Prostate Gland)
(genearal)
- primarily in what?
- also in boars and bulls with what?
(Atrophy)
- due to what?

- dogs
- brucelllosis
- senility, castration
(Becomes firm due to replacement of smooth muscle by fibrous connective tissue)
(8)
(Prostate Gland)
(Hyperplasia)
- common and important entity in what?
- most affected?
- what % of intact male dogs over 5 years of age have some degree of prostatic hyperplasia?
- dogs
- male 4-5 yrs
- 60%
(9)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(Cx)
- how common in constipation?
- how common in difficulty in urination?
why?
- common (due to rectal pressure caused by the enlarged gland)
- far less common (unlike in man)
No compression of urethra in the dog
(Slight pressure on bladder wall by palpation will cause urination)
(10)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
1 If the gland is very large, the urinary bladder is pulled where?
causes what?
- Secondary urinary infections occur due to what?
- anterior into the abdonminal cavity
stretching of urethra and narrowing of the lumen
- urinary retention
(11)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(etiology)
- hormonal imbalance - does it occur in castrated dogs?
- what cures?
- Estrogen
what tumor of dogs?
Castrated male sheep get prostatic hyperplasia when on subterranean clover containing estrogen. Also can be seen with excessive estrogen-like compounds in feed
- never
- castration
- sertoli
(12)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(Gross findings)
- enlargement of gland (on rectal palpation)
- Palpation - soft and fluctuant mass with fluctuant cyst
(micro appearance)


(13)
(Prostatitis)
(Sequela to hyperplasia in old dog)
(etiology - dog)
- UTI - with what?
- fluid in what becomes inflamed?
- type of inflammation (acute - diffuse - suppurative - leads to abscesses))
- bulls and boards with what?
- what infection of dog?
- proteus, E. coli, strep, staph
- hyperplastic cyst
- brucellosis
- Brucella Canis
(14)
(Prostatic Neoplasia)
- Relationship of hyperplasia to neoplasia being investigated
- how common vs hyperplasia in dog?
- not as common
(15)
(Prostatic Neoplasia)
(gross)
- usually uni or bi?
- extremely firm on rectal palpation - why?
- metastasize?
to bones?
to other organs?

- uni (+ loss of lobulation)
- contaion much fibrous CT (scirrhous carcinoma)
- yes - to regional (inguinal) lymph nodes
no (does in man)
can (brain)

(16)
(Penis and prepuce)
(Ventral frenulum)
- def?
- should do what at puberty?
- Sometimes does not separate. Persistent frenulum causes what upon attempted mating?
- A fibrous connective tissue attachment of the glans penis to the ventral aspect of the prepuce
- separate normally
- ventral deviation of penis

(17)
(Prolapsed Prepuce - Cattle)
(beef breeds)
- Pendulous prepuce turns inside out exposing what?
- prone to injury/infection
- mucosal surface to outside
(Inadequate muscle arrangements in prepuce)

(18)
(Rupture of Penis)
(young bull)
- trauma - bull being used to breed at too early an age
- rupture of what?
- tunics (severe bleeding of corpus cavernosum leading to hematoma into the surrounding tunics)
(19)
(Rupture of Penis)
- Hematoma observed dorsal to what?
anterior to what?
- Hematoma sometimes becomes infected resulting in what?
- Severe adhesions may develop causing what?
- penis
scrotum
- abscessation
- deviations of the penis

(20)
(Inflammation of Penis)
- Inflammation of glans and prepuce together = ?
- balanitis = ?
- posthitis = ?
- traumatic injury - acute inflammation
Important because it heals with stenosis of prepuce
what is phymosis?
what is paraphimosis?
- sequela?

- balanoposthitis
- inflammation of glans
- inflammation of the prepuce
- penis cannot protrude through stenotic prepuce
protruding penis cannot retract from stenotic prepuce
- adhesions

(21)
(Inflammation of Penis)
(Chornic inflammation)
- old dogs - what dripping from prepuce due to chronic inflammation?
- what develop under mucosa in response to chronic inflammation?
- Difficult to treat, owners usually reluctant to treat.
- copious purulent exudate
- Lymphocytic nodules
(22)
(Inflammation of Penis)
(Campylobacter fetus and Trichomonas infection of bulls – venereal disease)
- bac live where?
spread how?
- causes what?
- Crypts of bull’s penis develop at what age?
- No gross or histologic lesions
- crpyts of penis
by breeding
2 early abortions/infertility
- 5-6 years of age
(23)
(Inflammation of Penis)
(Ulcerative posthitis of sheep)
- wether = ?
- what collects in prepuce?
- poorly developed prepuce
- Urine
(Bacteria break down urine to urea, and then ammonia leading to a pH elevation that is very irritating)
(24)
(Inflammation of Penis)
- what viruses cause in bulls?
- Herpes infection of bulls - IBR virus (infectious pustular vulvovaginitis), bovine herpes virus type 1
