The Estimation Of Glomerular Filtration Rates Using Endogenous Creatinine Clearance In Nine Dogs, Chollada Buranakarl, Wanchai Yenpetch, Siram Suvarnavibhaja
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The objective of this study was to estimate the glomerular filtration rates of normal dogs using the clearance of endogenous creatinine, and comparing it to the clearance of exogenous creatinine. Nine healthy dogs, of both sexes, were used in this study. The results showed a significant relationship, with a correlation coefficient = 0.714 (p<0.05). The regression line was an endogenous creatinine clearance = (-0.803 + 0.677) x exogenous creatinine clearance. The use of endogenous creatinine clearance is a simple and convenient method without the need to administer any substances and can be used to evaluate renal function in clinical practice.

Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy In The Dog: 18 Cases, Kürşat Özer, Kemal Altunatmaz, Ahmet Gülçubuk
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Hypertrophic osteodystrophy was diagnosed in 16 male and 2 female puppies aged between 2.5 and 8 months. All animals had stiff and stilted gait, painful swellings in the metaphyseal areas of the antebrachium and tibia, pyrexia, weakness and diarrhoea as common symptoms. Radiological examination of the affected areas showed extraperiosteal bone proliferations. With chronicity, the new bone formation spanned the entire diaphysis from the distal to the proximal metaphysis. Two dogs were treated with parenteral administration of analgesics, corticosteroids, vitamin C, and antibiotics in addition to dietary management. These 2 puppies, which had shown a clinical improvement during the long …

Prevalence Of Leishmania Infantum And Dirofilaria Immitis Infection In Dogs In Aydın Province And The Town Of Selçuk, İzmir, Turkey, Hüseyi̇n Voyvoda, Serdar Paşa, Seray Özensoy Töz, Yusuf Özbel, Hati̇ce Ertabaklar
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Leishmania infantum and Dirofilaria immitis infection in dogs housed outdoors in Aydın province and Selçuk in western Turkey. Anti-Leishmania antibodies were evaluated in sera samples by IFA and ELISA techniques. The presence of D. immitis microfilariae was determined in blood samples by use of the modified Knott’s test. Using the IFA and ELISA on 158 dogs surveyed, 5 (3.2%) were positive for anti-Leishmania antibodies while 22 (13.9%) were found infected with D. immitis. Only 2 out of 5 seropositive dogs exhibited major signs of canine visceral leishmaniosis, and amastigotes …
The Treatment Of Experimental Acute Ethylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Toxication Using 4-Methyl Pyrazol And Ethanol In Dogs, Vehbi̇ Güneş, Çeti̇nkaya Şendi̇l
The Treatment Of Experimental Acute Ethylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Toxication Using 4-Methyl Pyrazol And Ethanol In Dogs, Vehbi̇ Güneş, Çeti̇nkaya Şendi̇l
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The effects of ethanol and 4-methyl pyrazole were investigated in the treatment of 30 dogs toxicated with antifreeze (AF). The AF toxication produced significant increases in blood urea, creatinin and potassium and a decrease in blood calcium levels. Calcium-oxalate monohydrate, which is pathognomic for AF toxication, was consistently seen in urine sediment. Ethanol was rarely effective on the multisystemic effects that occurred in dogs or ADH inhibition. CNS findings were also observed after ethanol administration. The results indicated that 4-MP treatment provided earlier and safer healing than ethanol. It was deduced that 4-MP + NaHCO_3 was more effective than ethanol …

The objectives of this experiment were to induce prostate atrophy by ligating prostate vessels and nerves and evaluate the histological changes in the prostates. Animal material consisted of 10 normal (healthy) crossbred dogs. The branches of the prostate artery, prostate veins, prostate innervating nerves, and hypogastric and pelvic nerves were ligated and then cut for each of the dogs under general anesthesia. Three months after surgery, the dogs were euthanased by with an overdose of sodium pentobarbital. Prostate length, depth, width and weight were measured during surgery (induction) and after euthanasia. Two hemi-cross-sections of each prostate, the left and right …
Correction Of A Unilateral Base Narrow Canine In A Dog Using An Orthodontic Device, Kürşat Özer
Correction Of A Unilateral Base Narrow Canine In A Dog Using An Orthodontic Device, Kürşat Özer
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A 1-year-old male German Shepherd dog was brought in because its hard palate had been damaged by the left mandibular canine tooth. On inspection of the oral structure, lingual deviation to the interproximal area between the upper canine and lateral incisor of the left mandibular canine tooth and mild palatal trauma were seen. Under radiographic examination no traumatic root lesion or residue from the extracted deciduous teeth was determined. The mandibular canine tooth was corrected using a metal inclined plane. After 2 months the lower canine was tilted labially by sliding it along the slope as the dog closed its …
Investigation Of Blood Protein Polymorphism And Estimation Of Genetic Distances In Some Dog Breeds In Turkey, Meti̇n Erdoğan, Ceyhan Özbeyaz
Investigation Of Blood Protein Polymorphism And Estimation Of Genetic Distances In Some Dog Breeds In Turkey, Meti̇n Erdoğan, Ceyhan Özbeyaz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Phylogenetic relationships in some Turkish dog breeds were investigated to determine protein polymorphisms by electrophoretic analysis. Blood samples were collected from 276 dogs including the Kangal, Akbash and German Shepherd as well as Doberman Pinscher, Setter, Pointer and Labrador breeds. Enzymes and proteins were separated electrophoretically using isoelectrofocusing gel, starch gel and polyacrylamide gel. Polymorphism on albumin (Alb), postalbumin-1 (Poa-1), postalbumin-3 (Poa-3), transferrin (Tf), and esterase (ArE) loci was detected, while no polymorphism was observed on the hemoglobin (Hb) locus. These polymorphisms were used to estimate the average heterozygosity value (h-s), F-statistics and the number of gene flow in each …
Treatment Of Proximal Tibial Fractures By Cross Pin Fixation In Dogs, Mehmet Sağlam, Ümi̇t Kaya
Treatment Of Proximal Tibial Fractures By Cross Pin Fixation In Dogs, Mehmet Sağlam, Ümi̇t Kaya
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The study material was composed of nine dogs 2.5-9-month-old which were brought to the Clinic of the Surgery Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ankara between 1992 and 2001 with proximal tibial fractures diagnosed with clinical and radiographic examinations. The incidence of proximal tibial fractures was much lower than that of other tibial fractures in this period. Under the Salter-Harris classification, 2 cases were of type I, 5 cases were of type II and 2 cases had metaphyseal transversal fractures detected using radiographic and clinical examinations. For treatment of proximal tibial fractures in cases with dynamic growth periods, the …

Dna Hybridization Of Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated From Uteri And Fecal Samples Of Bitches With Pyometra, Azi̇z Arda Sancak, Gurmeet Kaur Dhaliwal
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Escherichia coli is the most common bacterium that has been isolated from the bacterial culture of uterine and fecal samples of dogs with pyometra. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this organism could be relevant to the pathogenesis of pyometra in dogs. Fecal and uterine samples were collected from 17 bitches with pyometra. E. coli strains were isolated in all samples. Representative colonies of E. coli from each sample were analyzed for pathogenicity determinants by hybridization with HRP-conjugated DNA probes for enteropathogenic (eaeA), verotoxigenic (VT1, VT2), enterohemorrhagic (EHEC), enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteroaggregative (EAggEC) and enteroinvasive (EIEC) E. …

This case was determined accidentally in a 1.5-year-old, cross-breed male dog during a necropsy for an experimental study conducted in our laboratory, following a clinical examination as well as haematological, biochemical and urine analyses. The dog was clinically healthy. Haematological and biochemical parameters, except for a decrease in serum triiodothyronine (T_{3}), and urine analysis findings were within the reference range. A mass 3 x 4 x 3 cm in size and 22 g in weight that was observed in the thyroid gland located in the left cranioventral cervical region at the level of the larynx was investigated macroscopically and microscopically. …
