Abstract

In dogs with prostatic abscesses or cysts, the wall of the affected area can be partially resected to expose the contents for drainage. Once the area is lavaged and sampled, omentum can be tacked into the cavity. The omentum serves as a physiologic drain and provides a new blood supply to the area, bringing in systemically administered antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
