Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a heart valve or endocardial disease. Bartonella spp. are considered one of the causes of IE. The objective was to study the prevalence of canine IE in Bangkok, Thailand with an emphasis on Bartonella spp. infections. A review of the reports between January 1999 to December 2009 of 3,545 necropsied dogs was performed. Cardiac tissue blocks from 11 dogs were studied for the presence of eubacterial DNA and Bartonella spp. DNA by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and for Bartonella spp. DNA by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The prevalence of canine IE was 0.65%. The cardiac …

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of doxorubicin (DOX) at the dose used in clinical practice (12-25 mg/m2 body surface area) on cardiac electrophysiology and proteinuria. Nine dogs with tumors were treated with 1st dose of DOX while 6 and 3 dogs were left for 2nd and 3rd doses, respectively. Measurements of blood chemistries, blood pressure, electrocardiography, heart rate variability and proteinuria were performed after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd doses of DOX. All data were obtained the day just before the next dose was introduced. Results showed that giving 1 to 3 doses of DOX …

A fourteen-year-old female neutered Schnauzer was presented to the hospital with multiple syncopal episodes for two weeks. The dog appeared fatigue and sleepy but remained responsive. Clinical examination revealed bradycardia and irregular pulse. Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with repetitively long episodes of sinus arrest over 3 seconds, indicating sick sinus syndrome. The dog eventually underwent a transvenous single chamber permanent pacemaker. She was followed up for a month after surgery without recurrent syncope and irregular heart rate.

This clinical trial aimed to assess the intraoperative analgesic effect, based on the required minimum alveolarconcentration (MAC) of isoflurane, of transdermal fentanyl when compared with intramuscular morphine in dogsundergoing patellar luxation repair. Seventeen healthy dogs with grade II or grade III of medial patellar luxationwere randomly assigned to group M or group F, receiving a sham patch or a transdermal fentanyl patch (25 μg/h),respectively, applied on the skin at least 24 h prior to surgery. Three dogs had bilateral medial patellar luxation andwere then enrolled in both groups, resulting in ten animals for each group. Before surgery, group M dogs …
