摘要:

ABSTRACTEight dogs referred for the investigation of a persistent cough were found to have intrabronchial foreign bodies. The salient findings were haemoptysis, halitosis, eosinophilia and, on thoracic radiographs, an ill‐defined peribronchial increase in radiodensity involving a caudal lobe bronchus. Bronchoscopy was essential to confirm the diagnosis as the results of radiography were equivocal. Removal of the foreign body via the trachea was achieved in seven patients resulting in complete recovery in six. Two dogs died of related complication

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the history, clinical signs and diagnosis of cereal ear foreign bodies in four dogs. Presternal tracheotomy was required for removal of the foreign bodies in three out of the four cases and the technique is described.

摘要:

ABSTRACTAnalysis of the contributing causes of failure of surgery of the external auditory meatus is presented. One hundred and thirty‐five dogs were examined including 46 with bilateral persistence of signs of otitis. The single most frequent feature to which failure was attributed was otitis media, but errors of case selection and deficient surgical technique were also common factor

摘要:

ABSTRACTForty cases of vaginal neoplasia in the bitch are described. Twenty‐one neoplasms were examined histologically, the remaining 19 being identified by gross morphology. The mean age at presentation was 11‐2 years, in only one case was the bitch neutered, and all but one were nulliparous. Presenting signs included vaginal discharge, swelling of vulva, and urinary or faecal tenesmus. Mammary tumours, ovarian cysts or tumours, pyometra, or a history of previous treatment with ‘reproductive hormones’ were found in all but four of the histologically confirmed cases. Treatment involved resection of the tumour after episiotomy in 15 cases, and also ovariohysterectomy in five of these cases. No tumour recurred after surgery and survival periods ranged from 4 months to 4 years. The most common tumours were lei

摘要:

ABSTRACTChronic abdominal distension in two female cats 2½ and 13 years old respectively was due to bilateral hydrometra. In both cases the condition resulted from absence of an internal cervical os with consequent accumulation of normal uterine secretions. The most likely cause was a segmental failure in the development of the Müllerian duct syste

摘要:

ABSTRACTSolid‐phase clinical chemistry techniques coupled to a microprocessor‐controlled reflectance photometer have been used alongside more traditional, mainly ‘wet’, methods of analysis for the estimation of glucose, urea, cholesterol, creatinine and haemoglobin.The instrument concerned, Ames Company's ‘Seralyzer’, was found to be precise, reliable and simple to use. Accuracy was good, but, as with any instrument primarily intended for use with human specimens, species normal values should be checked and re‐adjusted wh
