Abstract

Transabdominal ultrasonog raphic evaluation was carried out to estimate prostatic size in 43 ad ult male dogs
of four different breeds. Adult German shepherd dogs had a mean prostatic volume and weight of 26.62±1.58 cm3
and 24.33±1.65 g respectively. The mean prostatic volume and weight in adult Rottweilers were found to be
26.32±2.55 cm3 and 24.01±2.66 g respectively.Among the adult male examined by transabdominal ultrasonography
in Dachshund the mean prostatic volume and weight were found to be 13.07±0.96 cm3 and 10.89±0.10 g respectively,
while the prostatic volume and weight in case of adult Spitz were observed to be 11.63±0.24 cm3and 8.71 ±0.25g
respectively. The study confirmed that age and bodyweight of the animal had a positive correlation with prostatic
volume and weight.
