摘要:

ABSTRACTThe two major causes of feline viral respiratory disease are feline viral rhinotracheitis virus and feline calicivirus. This paper reviews the present state of knowledge concerning these viral agents, the clinical syndromes they produce, their maintenance in the cat population including recent developments in the understanding of their carrier states, and finally the methods by which they spread. The second part of the paper attempts to correlate this information in a section which deals with the practical problems of prevention and control; management factors pertinent to the control of respiratory disease and problems of vaccine development and vaccine use are discussed. A short section on treatment is included.

摘要:

ABSTRACTSixty–four dogs with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in one or both stifle joints were referred to the Royal Veterinary College, London for treatment. Details of the pathological changes in the joints were recorded at the time of open surgery in fifty–seven and these changes are discussed. A post–mortem examination was made on one dog and the joint lesions were studied more cl

ABSTRACTFollowing a brief account of the history of the therapeutic use of cold in medicine, the paper discusses the basic principles involved in producing satisfactory instruments for conveniently achieving low temperatures.Consideration is given to some of the machinery currently available for the production of cryolesions‐from the cheap simplicity of the authors self‐made probes to the most sophisticated and expensive equipment available in the field of cryosurg

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe low dose intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and the insulin response to the glucose load were performed in a series of twenty–two diabetic dogs. All diabetic dogs were characterized by glucose intolerance as expressed by an abnormal half time (Tl/2) or fractional turnover rate (k) for glucose clearance. On the basis of the initial insulin level (Io), the insulin peak response (Ip) and the insulinogenic index (I/G), the dogs were classified into three types. Type I dogs were characterized by a low Io, low Ip and low I/G in response to glucose, similar to the juvenile form of diabetes in humans. Type II dogs were characterized by a normal or high Io, but also with a low Ip and a low I/G which are some of the features of the maturity onset form. Type III dogs were characterized by a normal Io and a normal or delayed response to glucose as seen in chemical diabetes. It is suggested that these types represent stages in the natural history of the development of diabetes mellitus in dog

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe mean packed cell volume (PCV) for canine blood samples received by post was significantly higher than that for fresh samples, at each haemoglobin value over the range 9 to 19 g/dl. As a consequence the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) also differed. Apart from one Hb value there was no significant difference in the mean red blood cell (rbc) count over the Hb range 6 to 14 g/dl. It is suggested that the normal values for the PCV and MCV should be 3 to5%and 5 to 7 f 1 higher respectively for postal samples as compared to fresh samples while the MCHC should be about 3 to 4 g/dl lower.
