Popis: There are only a few reported cases of abdominal ectopic pregnancy and consequential foetal mummification in dogs. The majority of the described cases indicate that this condition may exist for a prolonged period of time without any manifestation of illness. Therefore, sudden signs of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, episodes of epileptiform seizures, dark diarrhoea and lethargy, as were observed in the present case, are not likely to be considered as symptoms of an abdominal ectopic pregnancy. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an eight-year long abdominal pregnancy in an ovariohysterectomised bitch. We present the clinical, laboratory, radiological and intraoperative findings, and the medical and surgical therapy for an abdominal ectopic pregnancy in a 14 year old Miniature Pinscher bitch, ovariohysterectomised eight years previously.
Dosad je opisano svega nekoliko slučajeva ektopijske gravidnosti pasa, s posljedičnom mumifikacijom ploda. Većina njih pokazuje da ovo stanje može biti prisutno dulje vrijeme bez kliničkih simptoma. Stoga se iznenadna pojava znakova bolesti kao što su bolnost i nadutost abdomena, epileptiformni napadaji, tamna stolica i letargija, ustanovljeni u našem slučaju, ne bi smatrali simptomima koji bi u diferencijalnu dijagnozu uvrstili ektopijsku gravidnost. Također, ovo je prvi prikaz slučaja ektopijske gravidnosti ovariohisterektomizirane kuje u trajanju od osam godina. Prikazani su opaženi simptomi, laboratorijski i rendgenski nalazi, intraoperacijsko stanje, kao i poduzeta medikamentna i kirurška terapija kuje minijaturnog pinčera, u dobi od 14 godina, koja je podvrgnuta ovariohisterektomiji osam godina prije.
