Description
Summary:The present study reports a case of hydrometra in a female canine of 12 years who was taken to the Small Animals Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Lima, Peru). The bitch had clinical signs of apparent gestation of 45 days, but no history of oestrus or mounts. Vital signs, uro-analysis, haematology, and blood biochemistry indicated values within normal parameters. The ultrasound examination showed compatible signs with hydrometra. An ovariohysterectomy was performed, and uterine samples were taken for histopathology, which confirmed the diagnosis, in addition to a concomitant cystic endometrial hyperplasia in one of the uterine horns. El presente estudio reporta un caso de hidrometra en un canino hembra de 12 años que fue llevada a la Clínica de Animales Menores de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Lima, Perú). La perra presentaba signos clínicos de gestación aparente de 45 días, pero sin historia de celo o monta. Las constantes vitales, uroanálisis, hematología y bioquímica sanguínea indicaron valores dentro de los parámetros normales. En el examen ecográfico se observaron signos compatibles con hidrometra. Se llevó a cabo una ovariohisterectomía y se tomaron muestras uterinas para histopatología, lo cual confirmó el diagnóstico; además de una hiperplasia endometrial quística concomitante en uno de los cuernos uterinos.
