摘要:

ABSTRACTEndoscopy of the caudal reproductive tract, or post‐uterine endoscopy, is a method of examining the mucosal aspect of the vagina and vestibule/vulva of the live bitch. In this study the post‐uterine, or caudal, reproductive tracts of forty‐five bitches of pedigree and mixed ancestry were examined endoscopically. The instrumentation and method of endoscopic examination are described. The endoscopic appearance of the mucosal aspect of the vagina, vestibule and vulva was observed during anoestrus and several phases of the sexual cycle, and in the spayed bitch. Visual records made during endoscopy were compared with the exfoliative vaginal cytology and behavioural responses. The results obtained indicate that post‐uterine endoscopy is a relatively rapid and accurate method of detecting the sexual status of the bitch, and compared well with the other methods used in this study. It is suggested post‐uterine endoscopy also has a value in allied investigative procedures or reproductive

摘要:

ABSTRACTCardiovascular and respiratory function was studied after epidural injection of lignocaine hydrochloride (3 mg kg1) at the lumbosacral space in dogs premedicated with methadone (0–8 mg kg1), acepromazine (0.3 mg kg1) and atropine (0.6 to 1.2 mg). Analgesia was produced caudal to the third to fifth thoracic dermatomes; there was no significant change in cardiovascular function, respiratory rate, arterial blood pH or blood gas tensions. Relaxation of the hind leg and abdominal muscles was profound and haemorrhage caused a rapid fall in arterial blood pressure accompanied by tachycardi

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the clinical and pathological features of leishmaniasis in three dogs imported into the U.K. Principal signs were wasting, lymphomegaly, keratoconjunctivitis, and extensive skin lesions that included exfoliative dermatitis and alopecia. Autopsy showed widespread chronic inflammatory lesions throughout lymphoid and other tissues associated with parasitized macrophages. The paper discusses the potential human health hazard posed by a zoonosis characterized by non‐specific signs and prolonged periods of quiescence. Euthanasia is recommended for cases positively diagnosed as leishmaniasi

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe problem of rhinitis in the two Mediterranean chelonians,Testudo graecaandT. hermanniwas investigated. The results of the bacteriological examination of nasal swabs from cases of rhinitis were inconclusive. Serological tests were carried out using Sendai virus and pneumonia virus of mice (PVM) antigen on serum from 34 chelonians, seven of which were showing signs of rhinitis. The incidence of significantly high titres against Sendai virus indicated that an infection with a Sendai‐like virus occurs in chelonian
