Seminal vesiculitis in a Vietnamese pot-bellied boar

摘要

An 8-month-old Vietnamese pot-bellied boar was presented with a 3-week history of constipation and an enlarged scrotum. Abdominal and scrotal ultrasonography was performed to assess the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. An obstructive gastrointestinal lesion was ruled out, although a large cavitated heterogeneous mass was identified dorsal to the body of the bladder, which was consistent with the location of the seminal vesicles. Culture of a sample of preputial discharge revealed growth of four bacterial types, including Escherichia coli and Trueperella abortisuis. Given the clinical findings, a diagnosis of seminal vesiculitis was made and antimicrobial therapy was initiated.
