摘要:

ABSTRACTFeline dysautonomia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, the main features of which are dilated pupils, dry mucous membranes, mega‐oesophagus and constipation. The clinical and pathological features, treatment and follow‐up details of 40 cases seen at the University of Glasgow Veterinary School are described. The pathology was demonstrated to be mainly restricted to the autonomic ganglia and neurons in selected cranial nerve nuclei. Less marked changes were also found in neurons of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia. Nine cases recovered but this required up to one year and, in some, mild clinical signs persisted. Viral, toxicological and epidemiological studies were unrewarding and the aetiology is presently unknown. The similarities between this condition, grass sickness of horses and dysautonomia in the dog and man are discus

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe importance of cardiomyopathy as a cause of heart disease in the cat has been well‐documented in the U.S.A., but has had little attention in the British literature.This paper records the pathological changes in 12 cats which were identified as cases of feline primary myocardial disease. The main lesions were dilatation of ventricles or atria, and degeneration and fibrosis in the myocardium. Of the 12 cats, three had been diagnosed as having iliac thromboembolism, shown on autopsy to be secondary to cardiomyopathy and atrial thrombosis. In the other cats signs were often vague, cardiac disease had not been suspected and varied clinical and symptomatic diagnoses had been considere

摘要:

ABSTRACTA case of nasal aspergillosis in a cat is described. Diagnosis by serology proved useful and radiological findings similar to those of nasal aspergillosis in the dog were found.The treatment was by rhinotomy and extirpation of affected tissues which produced an acceptable remission of symptoms over the six‐month follow up period.This is the first recorded case where serology has been used as a diagnostic aid for aspergillosis in the ca

摘要:

ABSTRACTImplants of gelatin rods into the lacrimal canaliculus have been used in the human as a means of assessing the advantages of permanent punctum occlusion in cases of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Their use in the dog is suggested in similar circumstances but more especially following surgery of the puncta and canaliculi where haemorrhage might produce further post‐operative occlusio

摘要:

ABSTRACTOsteosarcoma has not been previously reported to have metastasized to the urinary bladder in the dog. Here such a case is reported; the diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, scintigraphic and histological verification of the primary and metastatic tumours.
