Resumo


In dogs, prostatic calculi in most cases are asymptomatic and are diagnosed through routine imaging method being benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is more frequent prostatic disease that affects dogs. The objective of this manuscript is to describes one case of endogenous prostatic calculi in a dog with BPH. A 18-year-old male non neutered mongrel dog with a 3-day history of decreased appetite, bloody feces and abdominal pain. Swelling occurred in rectal palpation of the prostate. Abdominal ultrasound visualized an increase of prostate and cavitations in its parenchyma. The animal died and at necropsy was viewed a bilateral and symmetrical increase of the prostate with cystic cavitation. During the section of the same, was visualized calculations were compounds by carbonate, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and ammonia, after analyzing physical chemistry. Histopathological prostatic tissue indicated BPH. Prostatic calculi in dogs are incidentally found on routine at veterinary clinics.
