    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Microbiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Bacterial cystitis is a common urinary tract infection in dogs.
    • Developing reliable experimental models is crucial for understanding pathogenesis and testing treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish an experimental model of bacterial cystitis in dogs.
    • To characterize the clinical, hematological, and pathological changes associated with this model.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten dogs were subjected to bladder irritation using salicylic acid.
    • Intravesicular infusion of Proteus mirabilis was administered 24 hours post-irritation.
    • Dogs were observed for 14-17 days, followed by necropsy.

    Main Results:

    • All dogs exhibited clinical signs of cystitis (tenesmus, dysuria, hematuria, pollakiuria).
    • Peripheral blood analysis revealed increased white blood cells, neutrophils, and monocytes.
    • Gross and microscopic examination confirmed severe inflammation in the bladder, prostate, and renal pelvis.

    Conclusions:

    • The experimental protocol effectively induced a reproducible model of bacterial cystitis in dogs.
    • This model demonstrates persistent infection and significant inflammation, valuable for future research.
