Just saw a 4 year old MI Brittany spaniel w/ hx of inappropriate urination.  Free catch urinalysis has show an active sediment, but bladder cysto was clean.  Ultrasound showed a bright, smooth, uniform, enlarged prostate (3 cm, so still less than the 5 cm size I have listed as normal for in tact dogs).  He does not appreciate rectal exams/palpation of the prostate.  I suspect prostatitis; no evidence of absesses or neoplasia grossly.  I am recommending a prostatic wash w/ C&S, but just want to see your thoughts on that vs.
