Abstract
An eight year old intact male German shepherd dog was presented with the history of swelling on the left
side of perineal region, with the clinical symptoms of anorexia, stranguria, tenesmus for the past one month.
Clinical examination revealed a soft reducing mass on the left perineal region. Contrast radiography confirmed
bladder herniation. A curvilinear incision was made over the herineated mass. The adhesions were noticed
between urinary bladder and prostate. Prostate was found enlarged. The cytological studies of prostatic fluid
revealed inflammatory cells with bacterial colonies of E.coli which confirmed it to be a prostatic abscess.
The bladder was reduced and the hernial defect was closed with pre placed simple interrupted suture. The
animal had an uneventful recovery.
