dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted on female dogs presented to the outpatient department of Department of Veterinary Gynecology & Obstetrics, Veterinary College, Bangalore to analyze the influence of breed, age and parity on the incidence of vaginal tumors and various clinical symptoms associated, with an emphasis on vaginal leiomyoma. Overall incidence of vaginal tumors was determined as 3.01 per cent with highest incidence in Labrador and least in Dalmatian, Doberman, Golden Retriever, Lhasa Apso & Non Descript breeds. Vaginal tumors were common in older dogs (8 to 12 years) and were lowest in dogs below four years of age. The condition was more frequently observed in intact dogs than neutered and most of the dogs were having parity one to four. Vaginal discharge was predominantly seen with other clinical symptoms like anorexia, perineal swelling, vulvar licking, polydypsia, weight loss, polyuria and tenesmus. Many dogs had vaginal tumor masses protruding out of vulva. The condition concurrently occurred with diseases like mammary neoplasia, pyometra, ovarian cyst, cystic endometrial hyperplasia and uterine tumors. Majority of the dogs had vaginal tumors in posterior vagina than in mid and anterior part of vagina. Vaginal tumors were solitary or multiple, capsulated and hard in consistency, either extramural or intramural in origin with varied size and number. Blood parameters viz. hemoglobin, platelet count, packed cell volume, creatinine and SGPT were within the normal physiological range whereas the total leucocyte count was found to be high. Histopathologically, leiomyoma masses appeared similar to the normal vaginal tissue.en_US
