摘要:

ABSTRACTThe case details of 46 dogs with cauda equina syndrome are reviewed. The causes were variable and included lumbosacral spondylosis, disc protrusion, discospondylitis, fractures, dislocations and neoplasia. Dogs with discospondylitis generally responded well to prolonged antibiotic therapy but the response to conservative treatment of lumbosacral spondylosis or disc protrusion was transient or incomplete. Ten dogs with cauda equina syndrome were treated surgically; the techniques are described and results presented.

摘要:

ABSTRACTSix canine long bone fractures with delayed or non‐union were investigated using osteomedullography. The contrast medium crossed the fracture (positive osteomedullography) in four cases. All contrast medium remained in the distal fragment (negative osteomedullography) in two cases. The fractures with the negative finding were operated upon using bone grafts. Conservative fracture treatment using transfixation or plaster cast was continued in the positive cases. All the fractures united from 9 to 15 weeks after the examination and treatment. Osteomedullography proved to be a reliable method for identifying which non‐union fractures require further operative treatment for heal

摘要:

ABSTRACTDeath is reported in a 3‐year‐old Greyhound due to an acute myocardial infarction, consequent upon thrombo‐embolic occlusion of the left descending coronary artery, subsequent to dislodgement of a vegetative lesion of the left lateral aortic valve, secondary to sub‐acute bacterial endocarditis. A comparison between some aspects of cardio‐vascular disease in man and dogs is made, and the term ‘heart attack’ as used in the human condition is investigated and its legitimate application to veterinary conditions discussed. The main difference between human and animal coronary disease is the widespread occurrence of atherosclerosis in humans and its absen

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe occurrence of essential thrombocythaemia in the dog and cat is recorded. In four cases of anaemia profound elevation of platelet numbers was noted. Bone marrow biopsy revealed megakaryocyte proliferation, with excessive platelet production and abnormal megakaryocyte morphology. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anaemia.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe clinical and epidemiological features of the first recorded outbreak of canine tracheobronchititis (kennel cough) in Zaria are described. During the outbreak which occurred between October and December 1980, 21 per cent of dogs presented to the Small Animal Clinic were diagnosed clinically as suffering from kennel cough, compared with 0.2 per cent in the preceding year.Bordetella bronchisepticawas among the several microorganisms isolated from affected dogs.
