摘要:

ABSTRACTThe surgical repair of complete intrathoracic tracheal avulsion in three cats is described. The initial presenting signs included dyspnoea, exercise intolerance and exertional cyanosis. Diagnosis was based upon the clinical signs, survey radiography and tracheal endoscopy. The ruptures were repaired via a right lateral thoracotomy made at the third or fourth intercostal interspace. Abnormal trachea was resected and a standard tracheal anastomosis was performed. Surgical results were considered excellent in all cases.

摘要:

ABSTRACTOne hundred and four dogs with clinical signs of urinary tract infection were selected by 15 practitioners in a multicentric, controlled and randomised study. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by urinalysis and imaging. Each dog received either marbofloxacin (2 mg/kg orally once daily or 4 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection every four days) or amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid tablets (12·5 mg/kg twice daily) for 10 or 28 days, depending on the clinical diagnosis. Rectal temperature, general condition, appetite, urinary signs, defecation disorders and pain on abdominal palpation were monitored at each visit, the timetable depending on diagnosis: three urinalyses and at least three examinations per case were performed. Side effects were also thoroughly sought at each examination. Marbofloxa

摘要:

ABSTRACTObservations on food tolerance in dogs have shown that differences occur between breeds ‐especially in the giant breeds which can have an increased frequency of soft stools. This may be explained, at least in part, by differences in the dogs' ability to utilise a diet. To investigate this phenomenon, four digestive trials were conducted using two canned and two dried commercial diets. The ability to digest most nutrients was lower in the great danes in three out of the four trials. The great danes also had a significantly higher faecal loss of water, sodium and potassium. The underlying causes should be associated with the relationship between body‐weight and the gastrointestinal tract or with differences in transit time of the ingesta, particularly through the large intest

摘要:

ABSTRACTNeurological improvement after decompressive surgery, without routine therapeutic or prophylactic disc fenestration, was evaluated retrospectively in a consecutive series of 93 dachshunds with thoracolumbar disc extrusion. In 24 per cent of procedures, deep pain sensation was not elicited in at least one hind paw before surgery. Median neurological status one to seven days after surgery, at the time of discharge, was significantly improved after hemilaminectomy compared with dorsal laminectomy (P0·05). In both groups, 50 per cent of dogs in which deep pain sensation was abnormal before surgery eventually regained the ability to walk after surgery (P = 1). One to two years after the first operation, a second laminectomy was performed in only 5 per cent of dogs because of extrusion of a different intervertebral disc which had not been fenest

摘要:

ABSTRACTA two‐year‐old labrador retriever was examined after a year's history of persistent ascites and exercise intolerance that began shortly after the dog was struck by an automobile. Contrast venography showed tortuosity of the intrathoracic caudal vena cava with partial obstruction caused by kinking of the vessel. Surgical resection of a fibrous connective band that was found to be tethering the intrathoracic vena cava ventrally, creating a partial obstruction, was performed. A hypothesis of the aetiology of this phenomenon is presen
