Abstract
A intact male Rottweiler was presented with inappetence and pus discharge from penis. Ultrasonography revealed
prostatic abscess and renal changes consistent with acute renal injury. Ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration of
prostatic abscess had greenish white and foul smelling pus aspirated. After a few weeks of medical management, it was
decided to perform surgical drainage of prostatic abscess. Under general anaesthesia, prostate was exteriorized and
abscess was drained. The cavity was flushed and omentalization was performed as per the standard procedure. The dog
was maintained with parenteral Enrofloxacin and followed up with oral Cefixime and Ofloxacin. The animal recovered after
twelve days.
