ABSTRACT
161 The abdominal radiograph of an 11-year-old, female, mixed-breed dog presented for evaluation of pollakiuria is shown (161a). The patient was previously diagnosed with a ‘fibroma’ in the neck of the uterus and the owner elected no treatment at that time. On clinical examination the dog had a visibly distended abdomen and on palpation a large firm mass was occupying the mid and caudal abdomen. There was no vaginal discharge, hematuria or hematochezia. Rectal examination was normal. On screening laboratory evaluation only a mild leukopenia and eosinophilia were present. i. What other diagnostic or staging tests are indicated? ii. What is the treatment and likely prognosis?
