Bacterial culture and cytology of semen, bacterial culture and cytology of prostatic fluid washings, urinalysis, bacterial culture of urine, and blood leukocyte counts were performed on specimens from dogs with prostatic hyperplasia, chronic prostatitis, or prostatic neoplasia. Hemorrhage was the most frequent abnormal finding in semen from dogs with prostatic hyperplasia. Inflammation was the most frequent abnormal finding in dogs with chronic prostatitis. Bacterial culture of semen was sensitive but not specific for chronic bacterial prostatitis, due to false-positive results from urethral contamination. Hemorrhage was the most frequent abnormal finding in prostatic fluid washings from dogs with prostatic hyperplasia. Inflammation was the most frequent abnormal finding in dogs with chronic prostatitis. Abnormal epithelial cells were found after prostatic massage in 4 dogs with neoplasia, although these cells were difficult to identify as neoplastic. Prostatic fluid washings were not useful for detecting chronic bacterial prostatitis, due to an inability to detect increases in bacterial counts in the fluid when urine bacterial counts were high. Hematuria was the predominant abnormal finding in urinalysis from dogs with hyperplasia and neoplasia. Pyuria was the most frequent abnormal finding in dogs with chronic prostatitis. Urine was usually culture-positive when there was prostatic infection. Blood leukocyte counts were normal in dogs with prostatic hyperplasia and usually normal in dogs with neoplasia. Leukocytosis, a left shift, and toxic white blood cells were predictive of abscessation, although the blood leukocyte count was not a very sensitive indicator for infection without abscessation.
对患有前列腺增生、慢性前列腺炎或前列腺肿瘤的犬只的样本进行了精液细菌培养和细胞学检查、前列腺液冲洗液细菌培养和细胞学检查、尿液分析、尿液细菌培养以及血液白细胞计数。出血是前列腺增生犬精液中最常见的异常发现。炎症是慢性前列腺炎犬最常见的异常发现。精液细菌培养对慢性细菌性前列腺炎敏感但不特异，因为尿道污染会导致假阳性结果。出血是前列腺增生犬前列腺液冲洗液中最常见的异常发现。炎症是慢性前列腺炎犬最常见的异常发现。在4只患有肿瘤的犬进行前列腺按摩后发现了异常上皮细胞，尽管这些细胞难以鉴定为肿瘤性细胞。前列腺液冲洗液对检测慢性细菌性前列腺炎无用，因为当尿液细菌计数高时无法检测到液体中细菌计数的增加。血尿是前列腺增生和肿瘤犬尿液分析中最主要的异常发现。脓尿是慢性前列腺炎犬最常见的异常发现。当存在前列腺感染时，尿液通常培养呈阳性。前列腺增生犬的血液白细胞计数正常，肿瘤犬的血液白细胞计数通常也正常。白细胞增多、核左移和毒性白细胞提示脓肿形成，尽管血液白细胞计数对无脓肿的感染不是一个非常敏感的指标。
