blackstaff 488 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi all, my dog is hopefully just coming out the other side of having prostatitis. I have asked people I know and no one knows of any dog that has had it. I am just wondering what the out outcome of it was for other cases, cheers all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,537 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 My dog had all the symptons a few months back but the blood test came beack negative, thank feck. Got to keep it on a very low fat diet if it does get it and the effects can be long lasting and severe. Hope yours is OK. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Not something that comes up very often, prostate problems are common in people but less well known in dogs. Some good info here http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/dog-prostate-problems Hopefully a single episode of a bacterial infection but watch out for similar symptoms in the future.

blackstaff 488 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cheers guys, vets again in the morning. I would love to buy shares in that place atm I spoke to the vet today and after doing a 2nd set of blood and urine samples checking for anything beyond the obvious his over view is to change antibiotics. He thinks the ones he originally prescribed just aren't doing enough, so more money tomorrow. Then if these work he is saying the dog needs neutering to prevent it happening again, which I am not totally happy with but if needs must I suppose ? Hence my original question if anyone else's dog has had it and the outcome. Also wondering how this was brought on if it is so unusual ? Fingers crossed these antibiotics work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackstaff 488 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 He's been prescribed different antibiotics today to see if the change works. Fingers crosses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundstud 38 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Have you ruled out a urinary tract infection as opposed to Prostatitis.The later is only usually confirmed by analysing a semen sample Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westy76 546 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 2nd opinion? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackstaff 488 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 All tests and samples have been done by the vet and the results are all clear apart from white blood cells pointing to Prostate. Personally think a second opinion would only confirm what I know already, and set me back ashed load more money which frankly I don't have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
