Ovarian cyst in a female dog




Broony, 7 years old, female dog was in season two months ago, coupled with the dark bloody discharge for a long period. She made me wonder if she has an ovarian cyst. The cyst could be interfering with her normal hormone production, and account for the bleeding.
A small cyst could be treated with a series of hormone shots to make the cyst mature and rupture. But i decided for the ovario-hysterectomy and blood test was done to check any alteration from the normal values. Finally dog was spayed and these big ovarian cyst were removed. After recovery Broony is living healthy life and even the owners are are happy to see her back to the life. In my opinion, if you do not want to breed female dogs; they should be spayed to avoid problems and unwanted puppies.
GET A DOG NEUTERED AND HELP THE SOCIETIES TO CURB THE DOG POPULATION.
