RESEARCH ARTICLEJ. Ind. Vet. Assoc., Kerala. 10 (1)Davidson (2003) and Kutzler and Yeager (2005).Hematuria which was observed in 20 per cent of theaffected animals may be a result of irritation causedby excess ammonia production in the bladder dueto retained urine (Johnson and Archibald, 1974).The common abnormalities on physicalexamination noted in the present study werepyrexia (33.3 per cent), dehydration (33.3 per cent),poor body condition (26.7 per cent) and caudalabdominal pain (6.7 percent). Cornell (1997),Davidson (2003), Parry (2007) and Smith (2008)described that signs like fever and cachexia arecommonly seen in infections of the prostate gland(Prostatitis/Abscess). Caudal abdominal pain(Kutzler and Yeager, 2005; Holt, 2007) is acharacteristic sign in acute inflammatory conditionof the prostate, shining a light on the fact that rest ofthe inflammatory conditions of the prostate couldbe of a chronic nature. Dehydration was one of thesigns in this study, as also noted by Parry (2006),can be attributed to the reflection of the systemicdisturbances like pyrexia and uneasiness caused bypain results in anorexia.REFERENCESCornell, K.
