“…Older intact male dogs of all breeds are preferably affected with prostate disorders [3]. Middle and big sized breeds are prone to development of prostatic disease, with Doberman pinscher and German shepherd being affected more frequently than other breeds [4]. Types of prostate abnormalities seen in dogs include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), cysts, abscesses, acute and chronic infections and neoplasia [4-6].…”

Aim:The study was designed to evaluate the hemato-biochemical alterations, urinalysis along with histomorphological and histological changes of prostate glands in dogs affected with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.Materials and Methods:In toto, 445 dogs presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, one Government Veterinary Hospital and two pet clinics in and around Bhubaneswar screened for the presence of BPH. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Only 57 dogs found positive for BPH basing on the presence of typical clinical signs subjected for a detailed hemato-biochemical study. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Routine and microscopic urinalyses were done as per the routine procedure. Histomorphological evaluations of prostate glands were done through manual rectal palpation. Histological examinations of prostate tissue sections of two dead dogs were conducted with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain.Results:The study revealed about 12.8% (57/445) of dogs was suffering from BPH. Typical clinical signs - such as passing small thin tape-shaped feces, holding tail away from backward, tenesmus, and straining during urination and defecation - were seen in most of the cases. Urine samples of affected dogs were positive for glucose, occult blood, and protein. A significant decrease in lymphocytes and increase in eosinophil counts in dogs with BPH was recorded. Serum biochemical analysis showed a nonsignificant increase in creatinine and blood urea nitrogen with a significant decrease in total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio. Histology of prostate glands collected during postmortem was characterized by fibrosis of prostate gland, and hyperplasia of the acinar epithelium.Conclusions:High rate of the prevalence of BPH in dogs poses an alarming condition which if diagnosed at an early stage can certainly prolong the longevity of the dogs.

“…The interaction between steroids (8,10,17), peptide hormones (e.g. prolactin), the effect of some growth factors (4,16,18), and changed sensitivity of prostatic tissue play important roles (13,19). Canine prostatic stroma indicates that the whole prostate gland must be an androgen-sensitive organ, with the epithelium and stroma under the control of the hormone (2,13).…”

“…Canine BPH is characterised by diffuse epithelial (glandular) proliferation throughout the entire prostate (12,15,16). Prostate hyperplasia in dogs can begin at two-to-three years of age, becoming cystic after four years of age with weaker stromal involvement (1,4,6,9).…”

“…The acini in the peripheral region are grosser and more abundant than in the periurethral region, the ducts here are narrower and longer, and aberrant ducts can be found in this region. The canine prostate is grossly and microscopically homogeneous (16). It has been theorised that because of different tissue sensitivity to sexual hormones and various growth factors, BPH in the canine prostate involves the peripheral region more (6,7).…”

Introduction: The aim of the study was to examine the percentage volume of epithelium, acini, and interstitial collagen in the nonhyperplastic canine prostate and in cases of epithelial and epithelial cystic hyperplasia. Material and Methods: A histomorphometric study of 39 prostates was performed using computer image analysis. Results: The highest percentage volume of epithelium was found in cases of epithelial hyperplasia (47.8 %) and epithelial cystic hyperplasia was the correlate for acini (48.97 %). Epithelium decreased with dogs' age (P < 0.01), whereas acini increased (P < 0.01). Interstitial collagen varied only insignificantly across age groups, but collagen was higher (12.1 %) in the nonhyperplastic prostates. With age cystic formation progressed in the canine prostate, the percentage volume of epithelium decreased and that of acini increased, but this same parameter in prostatic collagen did not change distinctly. The epithelium percentage volume increased in cases of epithelial hyperplasia but the cystic variant caused an increase in acinar volume. Conclusion: As dogs age, cystic formation progresses in the prostate, therefore the volume of epithelium decreases and that of acini increases. The volume of prostatic collagen did not change distinctly with age, and was higher in normal prostates than in both epithelial and epithelial cystic hyperplastic glands.
