Preventive measures for dog prostatitis

1. Empty the urine in the bladder first, massage the prostate through the rectum, collect prostate fluid for culture and conduct a drug sensitivity test. Choose to use antibiotics, along with symptomatic treatments such as antipyretic analgesia, laxatives, and urinary catheterization.
2. For prostate abscess, if the above methods are ineffective, surgery should be performed to drain the pus and perform external fistula surgery.
3. Clinical experience has proven that neutering dogs can promote the recovery of prostatitis.
