摘要:

ABSTRACTGiant axonal neuropathy is a newly discovered, neurological disease of the Alsatian which is probably inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The clinical features of the disease, its differential diagnosis and pathology are discussed in this review. First signs of weakness and ataxia appear in the hind legs of affected dogs at 14–15 months with areflexia, atrophy and diminution of pain sensation. The development of mega‐oesophagus appears to be a cardinal feature of the disease. Distal tibial nerve biopsy demonstrates multifocal axonal swellings which result from neurofilament accumulation. Similar lesions are seen at the ends of motor and sensory tracts in the central nervous system. The pathogenesis of this axonopathy is unknown but the possible causes are discussed and the comparative features of the disease presen

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn 14 bitches, laparotomy was performed between the 45th day and 54th day of gestation. In total, 89 foetuses were marked individually by means of transuterine injections of a radiopaque substance. After expulsion, each pup was provided with a colour code. By radiographs one day after birth, all pups of a litter could be identified by the radiopaque markings. In this way the order and presentation at birth of each pup could be compared with the uterine position and presentation at laparotomy.When after expulsion of a pup, one or more were left in each uterine horn, the next pup was produced by the contralateral horn in 43 cases (78·2%) and by the ipsilateral horn in 12 cases (21·8%). One horn was never observed to be completely empty before the other horn started expelling pups. In six of eight bitches in which each two uterine horns did not contain an equal number of foetuses, the first pup was born from the horn containing most pups.The presentation at birth has been observed in 73 pups. For five of these (6·9%), the presentation differed from the one observed at laparotomy; in all five cases the original posterior presentation had changed into an anterior o

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe clinical presentation, diagnosis and surgical treatment of four cats with nasopharyngeal polyps are described. In three cats the microscopic appearance of the polyps together with the finding of radiographic densities in the tympanic bullae point to the middle ear as the origin of these polyps. These are inflammatory lesions and it is suggested that they occur as the result of ascending infection from the nasopharynx. Experience has shown that, in spite of recurrence in some cases, simple traction rather than bulla osteotomy is the preferred method of treatment.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA description of a litter of Newfoundland dogs of which six out of seven puppies suffered from, more or less, deformation of the elbow joints, is presented. The two male dogs were, because of the condition, destroyed at 20 weeks of age. The patho‐anatomical examination revealed abnormalities of the joint cartilage of all the major joints of the extremities. The condition is described as a generalized fibroid, proliferative degeneration of the joint cartilag

摘要:

ABSTRACTFive cases of bacterial discospondylitis in dogs are described. The clinical features included spinal pain, stiffness, lameness and in some cases a neurological deficit. Radiography proved the best aid to diagnosis and demonstrated bony destruction adjacent to an irregular disc space with sclerosis of the centra. Surgical curettage of the infected disc was carried out in conjunction with antibiotic therapy.
