“…6 Some authors report the use of imipramine at doses of 1.76 mg / kg two hours prior to collection since it improves the contractility of the bladder neck during emission and as such has been useful in treatment by promoting α-adrenergic activity. 7 The use of imipramine as pharmacological therapy was considered in the patient but with the problem oriented there was no need to use it when obtaining satisfactory results with the fractional collection. Another alternative was the chemical ejaculation described as obtaining the ejaculate in the patient through the administration of drugs such as xylazine at doses of 0.66mg/kg and oxytocin 20UI DT although their results may be questionable.…”

Urospermia defined as the presence of urine in the ejaculate modifies the seminal environment and generates abnormalities in sperm motility, morphology and mortality as well as alterations in pH, BUN and creatinine of the ejaculate causing fertility problems for stallions. This pathology is caused by many factors that may involve nerve alterations, inflammatory conditions or intoxications and its treatment is based on the evolution of each patient with pharmacological and management alternatives. The objective of this report is to document the reproductive clinical findings, to discuss the treatment established and the possible causes in a case of urospermia of a Colombian stallion of 7 years whose motive of consultation was a yellow coloration in the ejaculate.

“…Among these limited therapeutic options available for the treatment of urospermia in stallions, none were consistently satisfactory. Encouraging the horse to urinate immediately prior to ejaculation has been suggested (LEENDERTSE, et al, 1990) and techniques to induce micturition in stallions include lodging in a recently laid bed, stool placement of another stallion in the stallion of the affected stallion and the use of diuretics (LEENDERTSE, et al, 1990;HELD, et al, 1992). Fractionation of ejaculate has also been suggested as a means of managing urospermia.…”

Contamination of the raw semen with urine can result in irreversible damage to the semen. The sensitivity of spermatozoa to osmotic damage differs markedly between species. Urospermia has been associated with intermittent subfertility and infertility in the horse. The cause may involve failure of the bladder sphincter occlusion and a functional disorder in the components of the autonomic sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous system that control urination, erection, and ejaculation. Few studies have been done reporting the effects of urospermia on changes in pH, osmolality and motility of equine semen, but it has been reported in the literature that a urospermic condition leading to a hyperosmolar solution is detrimental to sperm motility in horses.

“…It may occur spontaneously in single ejaculations or regularly with each ejaculation [27]. In some stallions complete urination during ejaculation is described [25]. It can occur only once or repeatedly [1].…”

An Entlebucher Mountain Dog (57 months old, case 1), a Labrador Retriever (24 months, case 2) and an Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier (31 months old, case 3) were presented for breeding soundness evaluation to the clinic. During semen collection in all 3 dogs, the pre-secretion and the sperm-rich fraction showed normal consistency and colour, whereas the prostatic secretion (3 rd ejaculate fraction) appeared strikingly yellow. In cases 1 and 2, a severely decreased sperm motility (asthenozoospermia) and an increased amount of abnormal spermatozoa (teratozoospermia), and in case 3, a moderately decreased total sperm count (oligozoospermia) were detected. Sonographical examination revealed abnormal findings regarding the uretero-vesical junction and ectopic ureters. Therefore it is concluded that urine admixture to the 3 rd ejaculate fraction may indicate the presence of ectopic ureters and may cause impairment of semen quality and fertility. The present cases raise questions regarding urospermia concerning: 1. its incidence in dogs in general and in connection with ectopic ureters and 2. its relevance as a cause of deficient ejaculate quality and subfertility or infertility.
