ABSTRACTMany bitches with sphincter mechanism incompetence fail to respond to medical therapy. This paper describes a method of surgical treatment and discusses the results obtained in 33 bitches in which it was employed.

摘要:

ABSTRACTIohexol has been found to be a safe and radiographically satisfactory myelographic contrast medium in man and some experimental animals. This study has shown it is also suitable for the dog and cat. No adverse side effects were encountered and radiographic quality was good. A random comparison found it superior in radiographic quality to metrizamide. Iohexol is recommended as the contrast medium of choice for small animal myelography.

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn 1961, Burke showed that antibiotics affect primary wound infections favourably only if they are administered before or shortly after bacterial contamination. The effect is optimal if there is already an effective tissue concentration at the time of contamination. During surgery the animal's resistance is strongly reduced, and consequently an infection may be caused by an inoculum present in a rather low concentration, at least lower than in normal circumstances. This reduced resistance lasts until only a few hours after operation. Prophylactic use of antibiotics therefore needs to be continued only for a short time after the final stage of the operation. A great number of clinical trials in human surgery have shown that short term peri‐operative prophylactic use of antibiotics causes a reduction in the incidence of post‐operative septic complications, in certain categories of operations and in selected groups of patients.Until properly designed, prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trials have been done in small animal clinics, it seems sensible to apply the abundant results from research with experimental animals and from clinical trials in human medicine to small animal surgery.Prophylactic use of antibiotics is indicated if the infection risks or dangers of possible complications are greater than the disadvantages of regular use of antibiotics.The risk factors in the development of wound infections and the choice of antibiotics are discus

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the structure, functions, distribution and normal values of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and its isoenzymes in canine tissues and serum. The diagnostic value of the enzyme is discussed in liver and bone disease, neoplasia, and endocrine disorders including hyperadrenocor‐ticalism, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. The effects of therapy with glucocorticoids, anticonvulsants and tolbutamide on serum AP are described.At present, AP is of the greatest diagnostic value in liver, bone and endocrine disease in the dog but its use in neoplastic conditions and in intestinal and renal disease has yet to be fully investigate

摘要:

ABSTRACTBreeders of pedigree dogs and veterinarians engaged in small animal practice are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of genetic make‐up in a variety of disease states. Detailed and accurate breeding records are invariably kept by pedigree dog breeders and these provide a useful starting point to an investigation. A suspicion that the underlying cause of a disorder is genetic has a considerable influence on the advice given to a breeder by a veterinarian, but it is often difficult to formulate precise breeding advice because a complete genetic explanation is elusive. This article gives some guidelines for investigating possible genetic contributions to disease by looking at well known examples of inherited disorders in man and companion animals and how their incidences may be reduce
