An 8-year-old spayed Maltese dog was presented for the evaluation of a lingual mass. The dog had excessive drooling and dysphagia. Oral examination revealed a soft, fluctuating mass at the left side of the tongue. Computed tomography showed a 21 × 32 × 66 mm lingual mass and enlarged left medial retropharyngeal lymph node. On cytology of the lingual mass, a round cell tumor was suspected; however, it was not responsive to glucocorticoid therapy. Because of severe complications, glossectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed; unfortunately, the patient died because of dyspnea in the postoperative period. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry revealed lingual …

Monorchidism With Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis In A Cat, Jinyoung Choi, Sungin Lee

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 1-year-old intact male ragdoll weighing 5.9 kg was presented for general wellness examination and castration. Upon physical examination, neither testes could be palpated in the scrotum. Blood test results (complete blood cell count, serum biochemistry and electrolyte analysis) showed no remarkable findings. Radiographic and ultrasound examination did not detect the right kidney and testis in the abdominal cavity. However, we were unable to visualize the right kidney and testis in the abdominal cavity. An exploratory laparotomy for cryptorchidism revealed that although the left testis was intact, there was no right kidney, ureter and ipsilateral testis in the abdominal cavity. …

Necrotic Lung Tumor Mimicking Primary Pulmonary Abscess On Computed Tomographic Imaging Study In A Dyspneic Dog, Mihyun Choi, Namsoon Lee

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 14-year-old spayed female Shih-Tzu dog was evaluated for a 1-month history of progressive coughing. Results of the complete blood count and serum biochemistry panel indicated inflammation. Thoracic radiography showed pleural effusion, and cytology revealed septic pyothorax. After antibiotics medication, the patient improved clinical signs but relapsed pleural effusion with a suspicious lung lesion. Computed tomography (CT) of the thorax showed a cavitary lesion with ring-enhanced irregular walls and poorly defined margins in the left cranial lung lobe. The main differential diagnosis considered was lung abscess, but the histopathological diagnosis was necrotic lung adenocarcinoma. This case suggests that both a …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Canine primary hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrinopathy diseases in dogs affecting various body systems. In veterinary practice, the measurement of total thyroxine together with canine thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was suggested to have high accuracy for diagnosing this disease. However, the changes in these recommended diagnostic parameters can be distinguished only in a hypothyroid dog with progressive deterioration or later in the disease. This study investigated the relevant predicting factors of canine primary hypothyroidism from animal characteristics and blood chemistry. Among the 672 dogs that met the inclusion criteria, 77 dogs had hypothyroidism and 179 had non-hypothyroidism. Age …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) and medial patellar luxation (MPL) are common problems that cause hindlimb dysfunction, lameness and pain in dogs. Although surgical intervention is recommended for these conditions, it may not be suitable for an individual with some underlying diseases. The objective of the present study was to compare the outcomes between surgical and non-surgical treatments for concomitant CrCLR and MPL in small-breed dogs. Seven stifles from five small-breed dogs with concomitant CrCLR and MPL were enrolled and divided into two groups. Four limbs (three dogs) in Group 1 were treated conservatively, and three limbs (two dogs) in …

Development Of A Preliminary Clinical Approach For Detecting Insulin Resistance For Normoglycemic Control In Canine Diabetes, Chutirat Torsahakul

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Consistent and effective blood glucose (BG) control is crucial in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) and insulin resistance (IR). In this study, the surrogate indices for monitoring insulin sensitivity and the preliminary clinical approach for detecting IR were established. Fasting serum C-peptide was measured by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and utilized as an endogenous insulin representation. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was then calculated. To detect the IR, the relationship between HOMA-IR and fasting serum C-peptide in each individual subject was analyzed, and designed cut-off values. The results revealed that the HOMA-IR of …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The round body shape and short legs of Bantam chickens (Gallus gallus) pose breeding challenges, making artificial insemination critical for these animals. To contribute to such assisted reproductive technology in avians, this study assessed the effect of a modified simple medium for assisted reproductive technology (SMART) extender on sperm longevity and frozen-thawed semen quality compared to the Blumberger Hahnen Sperma Verdünner (BHSV) extender. Sperm motility and viability were measured in 20 roosters at fresh and chilled conditions at 4-, 24-, and 48-hour intervals. For the subsequent freezing step, 6% and 9% DMA were added to both extenders as …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is an acute, febrile, and contact infectious disease. Bovine infectious rhinotracheitis is endemic in China and even the world, which not only restricts the development of the cattle industry but also brings significant economic losses to farms. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) contains 25 - 33 structural proteins, of which glycoproteins gB, gC, gD, gE, gG, gH, gI, gK, gL, and gM are the major structural glycoproteins of bovine rhinotracheitis virus, and all of these glycoproteins are interconnected with the assembly, invasion, release, and replication of the virus, and the only glycoproteins that are known …
