Effects Of Permethrin At A Prophylactic Dose For Ectoparasite Infection On Cholinesterase Activity In Dogs, Piyarat Chansiripornchai, Niwat Chansiripornchai
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Effects of permethrin at a prophylactic dose for ectoparasite infection on cholinesterase (ChE) activity was evaluated. Eight healthy dogs were exposed to a spot-on formulation of permethrin on day 0. The results of serum ChE activity in all of the dogs which was measured at 24 h after exposure to permethrin significantly decreased when compared to those before exposure. However, the serum ChE activity in all the dogs which was measured at 36 and 96 h after exposure to permethrin showed no significant difference as compared to those before exposure. There were no clinical signs in all dogs throughout the …

Tissue Reaction To A 316l Stainless T Plate Fabricated For Pelvic Osteotomy In Dogs, Siriphong Kiatkitikun, Kiatpichet Komin, Sumolya Kanchanapangka, Marissak Kalpravidh
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Tissue reaction to a 316L stainless T plate fabricated for pelvic osteotomy was examined radiographically and histologically in 3 experimental mongrel dogs 52 weeks after plate implantation on the non-osteotomized ilium. The adverse effects of long-term plate implantation were assessed clinically and radiographically in 7 dysplatic hips of 5 dogs that had undergone triple pelvic osteotomy 3-5 years earlier. The plates were removed from the experimental dogs for corrosion evaluation 52 weeks after the implantation. Serial radiographs of the experimental dogs at 1, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 52 weeks and of the hip dysplatic dogs at 3 to 5 …

Canine Amniotic Membrane Transplantation For Ocular Surface Reconstruction Of Created Deep Corneal Ulcers In Dogs, Simon Vongsakul, Pranee Tuntivanich, Sudson Sirivaidyapong, Marissak Kalpravidh
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Canine amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation in conjunction with a third eyelid flap was used to promote healing of created deep corneal ulcers in 6 normal mongrel dogs. The healing was compared with the healing of created ulcers in the other eye of the same dog that were treated only with the third eyelid flap. A minimum of 60 days interval was allowed between the two treatment procedures in the 2 eyes of each dog. To simulate corneal ulcers found clinically, the surgical treatment was performed three days after the ulcer had been created. Cultures from preoperative conjunctival swabs revealed Staphylococcus …

The Effect Of Acupuncture Therapy On The Repair Of The Calcaneal Tendon (Tendo Calcaneus Communis) In Dogs, Davood Sharifi, Jalal Bakhtiari, Fahang Sasani, Taher Rezaei
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The effect of acupuncture therapy on the healing process of the calcaneal tendon (tendo calcaneus communis) of the dog was evaluated after tendon splitting in 10 adult mixed breed dogs. Complete, full thickness splitting of the right Achilles tendon, 2 cm in length, was performed using a scalpel blade. The dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups (group 1 and 2) of 5 dogs each. The dogs in group 2 were subjected to acupuncture therapy 10 min/day for 2 weeks, starting on postoperative day 3. The acupuncture points used were GB30, BL40, and ST36. No treatment was given to group …

Vascular Ring Anomaly Associated With Right Aortic Arch In A German Shepherd Dog, Ebru Yalçin, Nureddi̇n Çeli̇mli̇, İ. Taci̇ Cangül, Ahmet Akkoç, Zeki̇ Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A 12-week-old, intact, male German shepherd dog was presented with a history of regurgitation since weaning to solid food. The dog was emaciated, and the cervical esophagus of the animal was palpable as a flaccid and air-filled cavity. Contrast radiography of esophagus revealed contrast material accumulation in the thoracic esophagus craniodorsal to the heart. A diagnosis of vascular ring anomaly was made and surgical correction of the defect was decided. The dog died during the preoperative period despite supportive treatment in intensive care unit. Necropsy findings confirmed a diagnosis of persistent right aortic arch.

Medical And Surgical Treatment Of Chylothorax In A Dog With Right-Sided Heart Failure, Hakan Salci, Zeki̇ Yilmaz, A. Sami̇ Bayram, Ebru Yalçin, Meti̇n Kaya
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Chylothorax due to right-sided heart failure was diagnosed in a 3.5-year-old, male Rottweiler, based on the clinical, radiological, and echocardiographic examinations, and serum biochemical test results (pleural fluid cytology and triglyceride levels of the serum and pleural fluid). En bloc ligation of thoracic duct along with its branches and pleural abrasion were performed after the failure of the initial medical management including pleural drainage via tube thoracostomy, and enalapril, furosemide, and low-fat diet (Prescription Diet Canine r/d, Hill´s Pet Product, Topeka, Kansas, USA). Combination medical and surgical therapy resulted in an excellent postoperative outcome. Six months after surgery the dog …

Serum Zinc Concentrations In Dogs With Microsporum Canis Dermatophytosis: A Pilot Study, Kerem Ural, Mehmet Çağri Karakurum, Özkan Duru, Cenker Çağri Cingi, Ali̇ Evren Haydardedeoğlu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Zinc deficiency may result in alopecia, erythema, crusting, scaling, parakeratosis, inflammation of the skin, and impaired wound healing. Zinc deficiency also may impair the immune response against microorganisms and lead to fungal infections such as trichophytosis. The present study included male and female dogs (n = 7) of various breeds, ages, and diagnosed with Microsporum canis dermatophytosis and 4 healthy dogs used as the control group. The influence of dermatophytosis on serum zinc concentrations in dogs was investigated. Wood's lamp examination, fungal cultures, and additionally biopsy specimen were used to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes of the …

Determination Of Diastolic Dysfunction By Conventional And Doppler Tissue Echocardiography In Dogs, Murat Ki̇bar, Mato Markovic, Ursula S. Kolm, Johann Thalhammer
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and the diagnostic value of conventional Doppler parameters of transmitral inflows and Doppler tissue echocardiography parameters of septal annulus motion for the assessment of diastolic dysfunction in dogs with cardiac failure. The LV diastolic mitral flow patterns were divided into normal diastolic flow pattern (group 1), delayed relaxation pattern (group 2), pseudonormal flow pattern (group 3), and restrictive pattern (group 4). In our study population, 17 patients had normal mitral inflow variables (E/A ratio > 1 and Dt < 109 m). The other 7 patients were classified as having abnormal mitral inflow pattern (E' > 8 cm/s, E'/A' > 1). In conclusion, the combination of Doppler tissue echocardiography of …

Submucosal Uroliths In The Vesica Urinaria Of A Male Dalmatian Dog, İrem Gül Sancak, Azi̇z Arda Sancak, Fatma Eser Özgenci̇l
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A 1-year-old male Dalmatian dog with urinary obstruction was examined on an emergency basis. The macroscopic urine examination, direct radiography, positive contrast cystography, and ultrasonography revealed urolithiasis. Histology of the vesica urinaria showed urolith particles deeply embedded in a membrane on the mucosa. This is not commonly seen in dogs with urolithiasis.

The aim of this study was to report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of intracranial tumors in 26 dogs. The medical records of dogs admitted to the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ankara University for central nervous system disorders were reviewed, and dogs with intracranial tumors that were diagnosed with MRI between November 1997 and June 2006 were included in the study. MR images were obtained as T1 weighted (T1W), T2 weighted (T2W), and contrast enhanced T1 weighted (following Gd-DTPA administration) in the transverse, coronal (dorsal), and sagittal planes. The following features were evaluated in order to …

Multicentric Intrahepatic Biliary Cystadenoma In A Dog, Ahmet Akkoç, İ. Taci̇ Cangül, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This report describes a case of multicentric intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma observed in a 13-year-old, male, Irish setter dog. The dog had a history of chronic inappetence, weight loss, intermittent icterus, and diarrhoea. In the ultrasonographic examination of the abdominal organs, 5 spherical masses were found in various liver lobes. The largest mass was 12 cm in diameter and was located on the quadrate lobe. It had spongy consistency and had several cystic structures, 3 mm-2.5 cm in diameter, on the cut surface. While this mass bulged through the normal outline of the liver, smaller masses were engraved within the liver …
