case_images: Longitudinal B-mode ultrasonographic view of the caudal aspect of the proximal vagina of a 1-year-old sexually intact female Labrador Retriever that was evaluated for a 4-day history of brown, malodorous vaginal discharge, vomiting, and a fever. Notice the echogenic fluid present within the vaginal lumen. The vaginal wall appears moderately thickened (arrows), which is just ventral to the hyperechoic region denoting fecal material within the colon (arrowheads). The image was obtained transabdominally with a 6-MHz linear transducer.

case_images: Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a tubular structure with a thickened wall containing echogenic fluid within its lumen in the caudal abdomen just dorsal and slightly cranial to the apex of the urinary bladder and ventral to the colon (Figure 1).
case_images: Longitudinal B-mode ultrasonographic view of the cranialaspect of the proximal vagina of a 1-year-old sexually intact female Labrador Retriever that was evaluated for a 4-day history of brown, malodorous vaginal discharge, vomiting, and a fever. Notice the focal thickening of the caudodorsal aspect of the cervix measuring 2.5 x 3 cm (plus signs). The image was obtained transabdominally with a 6-MHz linear transducer.

case_images: Continued ultrasonographic examination of this area revealed a heterogeneous, well defined, intramural mass like protrusion measuring 2.5 x 3 cm extending ventrally into the lumen of the presumed uterine body (Figure 2).
case_images: Intraoperative image of the ovaries, uterine horns and body, and cranial aspect of the vagina exteriorized from the abdominal cavity. Note the markedly thickened, edematous vaginal tissue (arrows).

case_images: Further assessment of the reproductive tract revealed a normal uterine body and palpable swelling present on the dorsal aspect of the cervix, and distal to that, the vaginal tissue was markedly thickened and edematous (Figure 3).
