“…Huntaways were apparently over-represented in mammary neoplasia, pyometra, and what was described as vaginal prolapse or vaginal hyperplasia. The median age of dogs diagnosed with vaginal prolapse was 2 years, which is in contrast to current understanding of the condition as one of older dogs following parturition (Soderberg 1986;Ragni 2006;Alan et al 2007). It is possible that the Huntaway is highly unusual in its susceptibility to non-parturient vaginal prolapse.…”

AIMS:To record the incidence of specifi c diseases affecting working farm dogs; identify any apparent breed predispositions; determine the most important causes of loss from death, euthanasia, or retirement of the dog; and identify potential interventions that could reduce the incidence of disease. METHODS:A national questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the incidence of specifi c diseases, and circumstances of trauma affecting working farm dogs that presented to rural veterinary practices over a 12-month period, between April 2008 and April 2009. The practices were convenience-sampled on the basis of geography and size. RESULTS:Sixty-six practices were approached, and veterinarians from 30 practices agreed to participate, with representation from all major rural regions of New Zealand. Data were provided on 2,214 presentations, excluding revisits, of which 51% were for Huntaways and 39% Heading dogs. Trauma was identifi ed as a cause of injury in 848 (38%) visits. Huntaways were apparently over-represented in cases of constipation, gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), theriogenological problems, laryngitis, hip dysplasia, and degenerative lumbosacral disease. In contrast, Heading dogs were over-represented among cases of multiple ligamentous injury of the stifl e, disruption of the gastrocnemius or Achilles tendon, tarsal injuries, and hip luxation. Traumatic injury involved injury by stock (20%), automotive incidents (19%), transit across fence lines (16%), and dog bites (12%). Loss occurred following 10% of visits, of which trauma was known to be involved in 32%. The most important nontraumatic causes of loss were GDV, degenerative joint disease, mammary neoplasia and diseases involving the female reproductive tract, cardiac disease, and poisoning.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Several important diseases appear amenable to intervention through nutrition, neutering, or behavioural modifi cation, including constipation, GDV, theriogenological problems, dog-bite injuries, and laryngitis. Altering modes of transit across fence lines has the potential to reduce large numbers of serious orthopaedic injuries to working farm dogs.

“…Vaginal prolapses can be easily diagnosed with identification of protrusive cyclindiric part [16] . As understood from published cases that prolapsed uterus with vagina is revealed after operation [4] . This case reveals diagnosis of true vaginal prolapse with palpation and especially through the use of ultrasonographic imaging techniques.…”

“…Having 5.6 ng/mL P4 values indicates that the cases occur closer to parturition. Other publications report that true vaginal prolapse occurs during a period near postpartum where P4 values start to decrease and oestrogen values begin to increase [4,14,15] . In the present case, it was easy to diagnose since puppies could be palpated on first one third caudal part of clinically prolapsed vagina and a second layer with palpation.…”

“…In previous reports in cases of true vaginal prolapse or vaginal fold prolapse upon determination of both live and dead puppies via ultrasonography; generally a ovariohysterectomy were performed [4,16] . In this case the reason for surgical intervention were the death of the foetuses and the failure of the repositioning of the tissue(s).…”

“…True vaginal prolapse is the complete protrusion of vagina with cervix out of vulva and is commonly associated with dilatation of the urethral orificium and prolapse of other organs [2,3] . While vaginal hyperplasia or vaginal fold prolapse is observed mostly during the term close to estrus; true vaginal prolapse usually occurs antepartum in dogs [2,4] . No other organ observed on the vaginal prolapse besides protrusive oedamatous vagina.…”

A 4-year old crossbred Pointer, with observable vaginal prolapse was brought to our hospital at the 47th day of gestation. The prolapse reoccurred next day despite of the vulval suturing. During the examination of the prolapsed mass towards the cranium via palpation, it was observed that gestational sacs and urinary bladder were also in the prolapsed mass as well. Ultrasonographic imaging of the tissue revealed that puppies were presented into one-third section of the prolapsed vagina and there were no signs of vitality in the puppies. Although it is rare, vaginal prolapse might occur in association with simultaneous dilation of urinary bladder with a part of uterus in the third trimester of the gestation in dogs. In this case, the probability of true vaginal prolapse during gestation was restated and it was revealed that as an innovation ultrasound was a beneficial and guiding technique for the diagnosis of this case.

Prolabe olan kitlenin kaudalden kraniale doğru yapılan palpasyonunda, kitle içinde yavruya ait bölümler ve idrar kesesinin olduğu tespit edildi. Doğrudan prolabe olan kitleye yapılan ultrasonografik muayenede yavruların prolabe vaginanın ilk üçte birlik bölümünde bulunduğu ve ölü oldukları belirlendi. Köpeklerde çok ender de olsa, gebeliğin son üçte birlik döneminde prolapsus vagina olgularının uterusun bir bölümünü ve idrar kesesini de içine alabilecek şekilde gelişebildiği görülmüştür. Bu olguda köpeklerde oldukça az karşılaşılan gerçek vaginal prolapsus olgusunun gebelikte gelişebileceği bir kere daha gösterilmiş olmakla birlikte, yenilik olarak, benzer olguların tanısında olayın derecesi ve ciddiyetini belirlemede ultrasonografinin yararlı ve yol gösterici olarak kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir.
