“…Both animals had not lambed for nearly 2.5 years. In carnivores, the inclusion cysts typically develop immediately after parturition, during uterine involution [43,44]. They are likely the result of rapid myometrial contractions, when the portions of the mesothelium are folded onto itself and trapped [43,44].…”

“…However, serosal inclusion cysts are typically found in aged pluriparous individuals and are usually localized to certain areas rather than disseminated [43]. The alternatives include anomalous lymphatics and parasitic cysts (cysticercosis; [43,45]). If there were cysts on the mesometrium, a lymphatic anomaly would be a possibility, and a parasitic invasion can be ruled out as the animals have been maintained in a pathogen-free unit under the strict zoosanitary conditions.…”

Comparison of the effects of pretreatment with Veramix sponge (medroxyprogesterone acetate) or CIDR (natural progesterone) in combination with an injection of estradiol-17β on ovarian activity, endocrine profiles, and embryo yields in cyclic ewes superovulated in the multiple-dose Folltropin-V (porcine FSH) regimen

Follicular wave status at the beginning of exogenous FSH administration is an important contributor to variability in superovulatory responses in ruminants. Studies in ewes have shown a decrease in the number of ovulations when superovulation is initiated in the presence of ostensibly ovulatory-sized ovarian follicles. Hormonal ablation of large antral follicles with the progestin-estradiol (E2-17β) treatment significantly reduces this variability in superovulated anestrous ewes, but the effects of the treatment in cycling ewes have not yet been assessed. Sixteen Rideau Arcott × Polled Dorset ewes (November-December) received either medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP)-releasing intravaginal sponges (60 mg) or controlled internal drug release (CIDR) devices (containing 300 mg of natural progesterone) for 14 days (Days 0-14), with a single intramuscular injection of 350 μg of E2-17β on Day 6. The superovulatory treatment consisted of six injections of porcine FSH (Folltropin-V) given twice daily, followed by a bolus GnRH injection (50 μg intramuscular) on Day 15. There were no differences (P < 0.05) in the ovulatory responses and embryo yields between the two groups of ewes. In both subsets of animals, the next follicular wave emerged ∼2.5 days after an E2-17β injection (P > 0.05). A decline in maximum follicle size after an E2-17β injection was more abrupt in CIDR- compared with MAP-treated animals, and the ewes pretreated with exogenous progesterone had significantly more 3-mm follicles at the start of the superovulatory treatment. The metabolic clearance rate of exogenous E2-17β appeared to be greater in MAP-treated ewes, but circulating concentrations of porcine FSH failed to increase significantly after each Folltropin-V injection in CIDR-treated animals. The CIDR-treated ewes exceeded (P < 0.05) their MAP-treated counterparts in serum E2-17β concentrations during superovulation. In spite of differences in antral follicle numbers and endocrine profiles between MAP- and CIDR-treated cyclic ewes receiving E2-17β before ovarian superstimulation, there were no differences in superovulatory responses.

“…20 An ultrasound examination is usually performed to confirm a clinical diagnosis of pyometra, either from signs referable to an open pyometra or from systemic illness when the cervix is closed. Arnold and co-workers 23 reported the ultrasound diagnosis of segmental CEH; pathology revealed serosal inclusion cysts. 21 The ultrasonographic findings include an enlarged uterus and uterine horns (Figure 18-15).…”
