We found in a female camel with a unilateral huge follicle, with very thick wall. After ovariectomy, the cavity was corrugated and completely filled with clotted blood. the animal had a history of long anestum. Is this a case of "hemorrhagic follicle" which has been described in mares?
It could be the same especially the hemorrhagic follicle in mare developed from persistent anovulatory follicle. But i do not know if this follicle have excessive number of floating echoic specks in the follicular fluid, during ultrasound examination or you do not have ultrasound scanning!!!!!!
This echogenicity is homogeneous or irregular. Second did you do histopathology or not? I think histopathology my help you to know the source of this blood !!!!!!!!!! and may confirm your suggestion.
Hi Ahmed, did you end up doing the histopathology? what was the result. We are finding something that could be HF in the rabbit and are interested to learn what you found, GPW
Following up on Gunter. We did the histology on rabbit and the follicle is anovulatory, one can see the ovum inside. Some 10h after the ovulation should be happening it is in atresia, the granulosa cells mostly already missing. Appears to be a normal occurrence in rabbit.
