Butterfly Pea Flower Extract As An Alternative Dye In Cytological Canine Mast Cell Tumor Staining, Araya Suebkhampet, Pongsiwa Sotthibandhu, Titaree Laoharatchatathanin

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are the most common skin tumors in dogs. Laboratory diagnosis of MCTs has been established by many techniques.The dyes generally used for tissue staining, including MCTs, are synthetic dyes, however, the global interest in using eco-friendly natural dye has become a significant matter. We focused on the butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) which is locally available. Limited studies are known about their efficacy as a tissue stain. The aim of this study was to investigate the staining ability of butterfly pea flower extract in cytological canine MCTs. The dried petals were ground into powder and dissolved …

Comparison Of Three Rapid Commercial Canine Parvovirus Antigen Detection Tests With Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (Qpcr), Niloofar Khajeh-Kazerooni

Masters Theses

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of three commercial ELISA rapid tests in comparison with qPCR for the diagnosis of canine parvovirus infection using fecal samples.

Background: Canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) infection is an acute, life-threatening, and highly contagious viral disease. The infected dogs shed virus in their stool and a variety of diagnostic methods have been developed for the diagnosis of the infection using fecal samples. Rapid ELISA tests are commonly used in veterinary practices. However, the accuracy of the results of rapid tests has been questioned in many reports and a low sensitivity has been reported for …

Hyperdynamic Circulatory State In A Dog With Leptospirosis: A Case Report, Numfa Fungbun, Naruepon Kampa, Supranee Jitpean, Nitaya Boonbal

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A hyperdynamic circulatory state is a common consequence of portal vein hypertension. Interestingly, this case report demonstrates acute canine leptospirosis manifesting with abdominal effusion, which it is focused ona hyperdynamic circulatory state, caused by portal hypertension. Severe acute kidney injury caused by leptospirosis in this case was hypothesized to be aggravated by renal hypoperfusion. This condition was noticed to occur in a similar way to hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in humans. Briefly, a dog with leptospirosis manifesting with abdominal effusion which was diagnosed to be the consequence of hyperdynamic circulatory state caused by hepatopathy and severe acute kidney injury. Peritoneal dialysis …

An Appraisal Of Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumour With Emphasis On Molecular Biology And Pathology, Iniobong Chukwuebuka Ikenna Ugochukwu, Onyinyechukwu Ada Agina, Jacinta Ngozi Omeke, Chioma Inyang Aneke, Lawan Fatima Adamu, Olusola Lawrence Ajayi, Najume Dogowar Giginya Ibrahim, Celestine Ibe Njoku, Anthony Kojo Beku Sackey, John Ikechukwu Ihedioha

Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is a contagious tumour of dogs, transmitted via coitus or coital behaviour which in some cases spreads by metastasis but primarily, CTVT appears as reddish soft nodules or papilla, protruding from the surface of the penis, prepuce, vagina and vulva but sometimes appears in locations outside the genitals. There was early evidence of CTVT more than 10,000 years ago and this disease has been reported in at least 90 countries across the continents of the world, especially in third world countries, where there are high numbers of stray dogs. CTVT natural infection occurs only in …

B Mode Ultrasonography And Elastography In The Evaluation Of The Pectineus Muscle Indogs With Hip Dysplasia, Pedro Paulo Rossignoli, Marcus Antônio Rossi Feliciano, Bruno Watanabe Minto, Marjury Cristina Maronezi, Ricardo Andres Ramirez Uscategui, Cléber Kazuo Ido, Daniele Santos Rolemberg, Luís Guilherme De Faria, Igor Cezar Kniphoff Da Cruz, Luiz Paulo Nogueira Aires

The goal of this study was to describe and compare B mode and elastographic characteristics of the pectineus muscle of healthy dogs with dysplastic dogs. Thirty-one dogs (62 limbs) with hip dysplasia and 17 nondysplastic dogs (34 limbs) were evaluated. The hip dysplasia score was defined according to the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. Using B mode, echotexture and echogenicity of different regions of the pectineus muscle were evaluated. By means of ARFI elastography, qualitative (elastogram) and quantitative (shear wave velocity) tissue stiffness was assessed. B mode findings demonstrated a hyperechoic and heterogeneous pattern of the pectineus tissue in dogs with hip …
