摘要:

ABSTRACTThe ultrasonic (B‐mode) detection of canine pregnancies was first achieved 21 to 23 days after the calculated luteinising hormone peak when daily examinations were made in six bitches. In 51 pregnant bitches examined for the first time between 20 and 35 days, one bitch was incorrectly diagnosed as non‐pregnant 24 days after the calculated luteinising hormone peak. In only 31‐8 per cent of pregnancies was conceptal number accurately determined. The greatest tendency was to underestimate the number of concep

摘要:

ABSTRACTDevelopment of the conceptus was characterised using B‐mode ultrasound in a standard size of dog (labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and their crosses; weight range 22 to 30 kg). Growth curves were established for various measurements of the conceptuses. Regression equations allowed the prediction of the expected time of parturition. Multiple regression analysis of two measurements (biparietal diameter and trunk diameter) resulted in an increase in the confidence of predictio

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe results of a combined retrospective and prospective study of 130 cases of fragmented coronoid process (FCP) in 109 dogs are presented. Sixty‐eight cases were treated surgically by medial elbow arthrotomy and 62 were treated medically (rest and anti‐inflammatories). Case records were searched with the emphasis on the severity of lameness, physical abnormalities and in surgical cases, the appearance of the coronoid process lesion. Long term follow‐up was obtained by a telephone survey. Analysis of case histories and physical data revealed no correlation between severity of lameness before treatment, severity of radiographic changes in the elbow joint and the type of lesion found at surgery. Surgical treatment did not decrease the incidence of post treatment lameness, but the surgically treated dogs were more active and less severely lame than those treated without surgery. It was concluded that young dogs with mild lameness due to FCP in the elbow probably do not benefit from surgical treatment but dogs with chronic, moderate to severe lameness have a better prognosis if treated surgi

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe use of vaginal cytology and plasma progesterone determinations in the management of 11 bitches presented to our small animal fertility clinic are described. Nine bitches were mated or artificially inseminated and seven became pregnant. Reproductive patterns detected included failure of ovulation, prolonged pro‐oestrus with late ovulation, short pro‐oestrus/oestrus with early ovulation, short pro‐oestrus/oestrus with late ovulation and normal pro‐oestrus/oestrus with late ov

摘要:

ABSTRACTMagnetic resonance imaging was used ante mortem to confirm the anatomic location of an intracranial lesion in a dog with neurological signs. Necropsy revealed the lesion to be a choroid plexus carcinoma with thalamic invasion. A review of the literature on choroid plexus carcinomas in the dog is included.

摘要:

ABSTRACTEssential thrombocythaemia in an eight‐year‐old Irish setter is described. The condition is characterised by an autonomous overproduction of thrombocytes in the absence of overt leukaemia. This is believed to be the first recorded case of this condition in the dog. The paper describes the diagnosis and treatment by combination chemotherapy using vincristine, cytosine arabinoside, cyclophosphamide and prednisol
