Bloody discharge in an 8 year old MN English Bulldog

  • 8 year old mn English Bulldog presented for bloody discharge from the penis.  The patient has no dysuria and no tenemus.
  • Urinary tract ultrasound shows normal kidneys and bladder and normal MILN.

    • The prostate is normal in size with a uniform capsule.  Shadowing, linear, echogenic lines can be seen parallel to the prostatic urethra. I originally thought that this was parenchymal mineralization with a normal prostatic urethra but upon further review, I am wondering if the prostatic urethra is indeed, dilated and that perhaps there is a problem further down the pipe.
    • What next….fna the prostate?  cystourethrogram?

Thanks Eric.  The parallel

Thanks Eric.  The parallel echogenic lines look odd to me as if this should be pathognomonic for something.

Its odd I agree and anything

Its odd I agree and anything echogenic thats not in the urethra in a MN should be sampled to ensure not carcinoma…maybe weird fat design if we are lucky

Interesting thought.  The primary vet told me initially that no external abnormalities were seen, but I will run this by him.  Thank you!
