Uterine Prolapse in Dogs
Uterine prolapse in dogs is inversion and protrusion of part or all of the uterus through the vulva after whelping or abortion, more often in older dogs. It risks infertility and bleeding and is treated by surgical replacement or ovariohysterectomy.
Pyometra in Dogs and Cats

Endometritis in Dogs and Cats
Endometritis in dogs and cats is acute or chronic bacterial inflammation of the uterine lining after whelping, with abnormal estrus, lethargy, poor appetite, and discharge. Treatment reduces inflammation and restores uterine function, with hysterectomy when needed.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Dogs
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common age-related prostate enlargement in older male dogs causing difficult defecation, constipation, reduced urine, hematuria, and a full bladder. Castration is the most effective treatment.
