Abstract
/kg. Prostate size did not correlate with the symptom severity. Concurrent bacteriuria was confirmed in 4/25 cases via bacterial culture and/or cytology. Treatments pursued and responses were only available in a subpopulation of dogs (n = 9) and were highly variable. Studies are needed to determine if current treatment options for BPH in dogs resolve associated clinical signs in addition to reducing prostate size.
