Abstract
Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is an indicator of polycystic ovary syndrome in humans. In the present report, AMH was evaluated in two female dogs with follicular ovarian cysts compared with normal oestrous bitches (n = 8). The bitches with follicular ovarian cysts had elevated serum oestradiol concentration (51.9 ± 49.6 pg/ml), and they had, in turn, turgid vulvar swelling and serosanguineous vulvar discharge. In addition, one of the bitches with follicular ovarian cysts suffered from bilaterally symmetrical alopecia. AMH concentration did not differ between cystic (0.2 ± 0.1 ng/ml) and normal (0.3 ± 0.2 ng/ml) bitches (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the results implied that AMH might not serve as a diagnostic marker for ovarian follicular cysts in canine.
