Common lesions in the male reproductive tract of cats and dogs.

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the lesions of the male genital tract of the dog and cat and covers those common diseases that affect the scrotal contents including testis and epididymis, the accessory genital glands especially the prostate, and the penis and prepuce. The majority of lesions of the male reproductive tract of cats and dogs are reported in dogs, and this is reflected in the number and types of diseases listed here. The author will attempt to balance simple with dramatic lesions and will start with the penis and prepuce, where lesions are seen more commonly.
