Abstract: Canine oophoritis is a rare ovarian pathology that has been reported to cause infertility. However, diagnostic work-up, treatment options, and prognosis of return to fertility after treatment for oophoritis were not reported. We report oophoritis in a dog that was diagnosed via histopathology after hemiovariectomy; diagnostic tests, treatment, and outcome of fertility are included and compared to other domestic species and women. Additionally, pathophysiology and prognostic outcome of oophoritis in women are discussed in the context of future directions and possible avenues of investigation in canine oophoritis.
