Plain-English summary
A male dog with benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate) developed worsening urethral bleeding after receiving a hormone implant to treat his condition. A large cyst was found in his prostate shortly after the treatment. To address this, the vet prescribed a medication called osaterone acetate and an antibiotic, enrofloxacin. Within ten days, the dog's symptoms improved, and the cyst completely shrank within a month.

Abstract
A male dog with benign prostatic hyperplasia and several small intraprostatic cysts was treated with a GnRH-agonist implant containing 4,7 mg deslorelin (Suprelorin). Within 2 weeks after the implantation, the prior urethral bleeding worsened. A large intraprostatic cyst was detected sonographically. The patient was subsequently treated with osaterone acetate (0.4 mg/kg p. o. once a day for 7 days) and enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg p. o. once a day for 21 days). The clinical symptoms receded within 10 days. Within one month, the cyst regressed completely. The mechanisms of cyst enlargement are discussed.
