ABSTRACTThe results of treatment of fifty‐four dogs seen at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital with perineal hernia were analysed. Conservative treatment was not satisfactory for dogs which strained to defaecate. Perineal herniorrhaphy was followed by recurrence of the hernia in 37% of the dogs; continued straining to defaecate, urinary problems and rectal prolapse were other post‐herniorrhaphy sequelae. Anal splitting was performed in eight dogs; soiling of the anal area and occasional incontinence were reported in some d

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe relationship between puppy hip laxity at 6–8 weeks and radiographic hip dysplasia at 12–18 months was investigated. Two methods of hip laxity assessment were studied and compared. A significant positive relationship was found. Using simple statistical and decision theory principles an approach to the application of these results to a selection programme for guide dogs was discussed and performed. The economic value of early examination for hip dysplasia was demonstrated for the situation stud

摘要:

ABSTRACTRenal calculi were detected in 124 (53%) of 241 native Kenyan dogs during a necropsy survey forSpirocerca lupiinfection. Affected kidneys were grossly normal but histologically pyelitis was present in 33% of the dogs. Over 50% of the stones were bilateral. Most were small and yellowish, the largest one was 2.5 cm. One native dog had a cystic calculus that obstructed its bladder.Chemical analysis of the calculi revealed only traces of magnesium and phosphate. Emission spectrum studies identified the calculi as magnesium calcium aluminum silicate.Decreased water intake or increased insensitive water loss do not seem to be important causative factors. Silica levels in water and maize should be determined.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA method is described for the establishment of end‐to‐end anastomoses after intestinal resection. The use of gelatine tubes as a suture base enables the edges of the intestinal incisions to be fixed in relation to each other, at the same time facilitating suturing.The action of intestinal proteolytic enzymes causes the gelatine tubes to disintegrate after suturing.Barium sulphate (BaSO4) was added in order to determine the disintegration time of the gelatine tube and to follow its transport away from the operation site. This addition of barium sulphate proved to influence the disintegration time of the gelatine tube. An optimum disintegration time may therefore be achieved by varying the barium sulphate concentration as well as the ratio of gelatine to wa

摘要:

ABSTRACTArterial blood samples were obtained from thirty normal conscious dogs breathing air. The mean values and standard deviations recorded were PaO2101.3±5.6 mmHg, PaCO234.0±3.9 mmHg, oxygen saturation 93.8 ±1.2%, oxygen content 19.3 ± 1.8 ml/100 ml. Ten dogs with respiratory problems were also examined and of these animals seven had lower than normal oxygen tensions while three had carbon dioxide levels higher than those found in healthy dogs. It was concluded that, in severe respiratory disease, measurement of arterial oxygen tension gives a useful assessment of respiratory failure in d

摘要:

ABSTRACTBetween October 1975 and March 1976, fourteen dogs of the 308 examined in the small animal clinic of the University of Ibadan were diarrhoeic while eight dogs from two experimental groups housed within the university and kept at a distance of about 1.5 km from the small animal clinic also had diarrhoea. The most common condition associated with diarrhoea in dogs in Ibadan was intestinal parasitism caused mainly byAncylostoma caninum(six cases)Isospora canis(five cases) andDipylidium caninum(one case). The other causes of diarrhoea were canine distemper, bacterial enteritis, canine babesiosis, traumatic gastroenteritis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
