Arthur_500 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I took my 3-1/2 year old Berner to a Vet for a general checkup. They ran a blood and urine panel that looks perfect. During a check of the prostrate the vet described feeling bumps (described like a textured condom) in the anal tract. A second Vet confirmed feeling the same thing. a suggestion is this may be related to hormones as he is intact. I have not heard of such a thing and wanted your insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yes had this with an Irish Wolfhound. His symptom was difficulty pooing, in that he didn't stop in one spot but moved along as if it was uncomfortable or difficult. Long time ago, can't remember if he had urinary symptoms as well. Men get urinary symptoms when they have prostate problems. Neutering cured the dog. Similar treatment for some men with prostate cancer, chemical castration with female hormones. Did the vets give you a diagnosis or wait and see? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
