Summary
Prostatitis in dogs is an inflammation or infection of the prostate gland, most often affecting older, intact male dogs. The condition usually develops due to bacterial infection that spreads from the urinary tract or bloodstream. It can appear suddenly as acute prostatitis or develop slowly as a chronic form. Acute cases cause fever, lethargy, abdominal pain, and painful urination, while chronic cases may show few or no signs but often lead to recurring urinary infections. Diagnosis involves urine tests, imaging, and sometimes fluid cultures. Treatment typically requires long courses of antibiotics and, in many cases, neutering to prevent recurrence and reduce prostate enlargement. Early detection helps avoid complications such as abscesses or severe systemic illness.
