Study Regarding the Evolution with Age of Ultrasound Prostate Dimensions in German Shepherd Dogs

The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution with age of the prostatic dimensions in German shepherd dogs. For the veterinarians, these results could help to recognize more easily a pathological state of the German shepherd dog’s prostate, only by an ultrasound examination. After examining 22 G...

description The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution with age of the prostatic dimensions in German shepherd dogs. For the veterinarians, these results could help to recognize more easily a pathological state of the German shepherd dog’s prostate, only by an ultrasound examination. After examining 22 German shepherd dogs, for dogs of 2 to 5 years old, we obtained a mean prostatic volume of 16.239 cmc, for dogs between 6 and 10 years old the mean prostatic volume was 37.712 cmc and for dogs older than 10 years, the mean prostatic volume was 40.327 cmc. In conclusion, regarding the results, it can be affirmed that in German shepherd dogs, prostate dimensions are increasing with age.
