Urinary bladder retroflexion and dystocia in a bitch with the vaginal supportive connective tissue failure

Abstract: Summary: This article describes a 2.5 years old cross breed bitch, weighing 35 kg, with dystocia and a large mass protruding through the vulva. A surgical resection of a type III vaginal prolapse had been performed 1.5 years previously. On admission, transabdominal ultrasonography revealed several live foetuses in the uterine horns, but the urinary bladder was not visible in the abdomen. An anechogenic, fluid-filled bladder was observed during ultrasonography of the protruded mass. Foetuses were removed by cae… Show more

“…In male dogs, bladder retroflexion is regularly seen in chronic perineal hernia (Sontas et al, 2008;Adeyanju et al, 2011). In female dogs, bladder retroflexion can occur as a rare complication of vaginal prolapse (Sontas et al, 2010;Acar et al, 2017). When bladder retroflexion leads to dysuria or anuria, the prognosis becomes grave to poor.…”

“…Also, pelvic organs might become entrapped in the vaginal prolapse leading to herniation into the prolapsed vaginal tissue (Ober et al, 2016). Herniation of the bladder as a complication of vaginal prolapse has been described (Alan et al, 2007;Canatan et al, 2015;Acar et al, 2017;Özgenç et al, 2017). The combination of vaginal and rectal prolapse has also been described (Ober et al, 2016).…”
