Hypospadia and omphalocele are rare congenital defects reported in various breeds, including the Doberman Pinscher, English Bulldog, French Bulldog, Basenji, and Dalmatian. Hypospadia is characterized by a defect in the fusion of the penile foreskin associated with persistent opening of the ventral urethral sulcus. Omphalocele is an abdominal wall defect, most common at the umbilical site, that may lead to evisceration of abdominal organs. Some dog breeds are suspected to have an hereditary predisposition to these conditions, but the etiology is still poorly understood, and believed to be multifactorial. We report a case of omphalocele and hypospadia in a French Bulldog neonate on which euthanasia was performed.

Vacuum phenomenon (VP) refers to the presence of gas in joint spaces, including those in the spinal column. The phenomenon is associated with progressive and chronic diseases, such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). We reviewed 55 canine spinal CT images for the presence of VP, and studied its association with IVDD to determine the association between the VP and the clinical signs exhibited by the patients at the time of exam. All images were obtained between January 2016 and July 2018, at the Diagnostic Imaging Service of a Veterinary Hospital. Image consistent with VP was observed in 7 (12.7%) of the 55 cases. Of these 7 animals, pain and paresis was reported in 3, pain with plegia in 1, and plegia without pain in 3 dogs. One dog did not have a confirmed diagnosis of IVDD. Further studies with larger samples are still needed to confirm the relevance of this phenomenon in the diagnosis of IVDD in dogs.

Intestinal lymphoma is the second most common form of lymphoma in dogs. It is characterized by the presence of neoplastic lymphocytes in the gastrointestinal tract or mesenteric lymph nodes. The chief clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia and weight loss. The diagnosis is made through fine needle aspiration and cytology, or by tissue biopsy and histopathology, and chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. We report a case of intestinal lymphoma in a five years old Boxer, presented with history of hematochezia and lethargy of 7 days duration, and 20 days of anorexia and persistent weight loss. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed free fluid in the abdominal cavity, and an intestinal mass. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and a tissue biopsy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal lymphoma, but the patient died during the surgical procedure.

Sporotrichosis is a zoonosis caused by a fungus of the Sporothrix gender, and transmitted through open wounds. Because of their closed territorial nature, intact male cats are most frequently affected. We describe the treatment of an adult, rescued intact male cat presented with disseminated ulcerative skin lesions affecting face, ears, neck, thoracic limb, and scapular region. Cytology of the lesions revealed the presence of macrophages containing a large number of oval oblong yeast structures consistent with Sporothrix sp. The cat was treated with once a day oral administration of itraconazole (100mg/cat) and potassium iodide (5mg/kg). Full remission was observed 126 days after beginning of treatment.

Colonoscopy is used to evaluate the rectum, colon and, in selected cases, the smal intestine. The procedure is performed with flexible endoscope with a micro digital camera at the end. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate and a low residue diet as a protocol of evacuation and cleaning of the colon in preparation for colonoscopy. In literature review we have found that warm enemas is the most frequently recommended technique to prepare the large bowel for proctosigmoidoscopy procedures. In our experience, warn water enemas are frequently opposed by clients, prompting us to search for an alternative method. In the ten adult dogs tested, the use of sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate and low resideu diet was easy to administer and adequately prepared the intestine for the procedure.

Monoclonal antibodies have been studied in human medicine for a while. They target specific receptors and cytokines, and are highly specific and effective in blocking their target molecule. Lokivetmab is a monoclonal caninised anti-IL-31 antibody that was recently approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Currently, no other therapeutic monoclonal antibody is used in veterinary medicine. The goal of this review of literature is to updte clinicians on this new biological option for treatment of canine atopic dermatitis.

Pyothorax is the accumulation of exudade in the pleural cavity. Affected patients are often presented with acute dyspnea. We report a case of pyothorax associated with the presence of a bone fragment in the lower respiratory tract of an adult domestic cat. We presume that the bone fragment reached the respiratory tract by either aspiration or migration from the abdominal cavity. The patient presented abdominal distension and acute dyspnea. Bloodwork revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis with left shift and lymphocytosis. Thoracic fluid analysis confirmed septic exudate. The patient was unresponsive to the treatment and died within 24 hours of admission. Necropsy revealed the presence of a bone fragment in the lower respiratory tract. We suggest that foreign bodies should be considered as a rule-out cause of pyothorax and sepsis in domestic cats.

This paper describes the case of a dog with an open radial and ulnar fracture associated with radiocarpal subluxation and great loss of adjacent tissues. Radial and ulnar osteosynthesis, as well as arthrodesis, were performed with modified type I external fixator. The traumatic wound was treated daily with a mixture of crystal sugar and nitrofurazone, for second intention healing. The wound epithelialization occurred within 60 postoperative days along with fracture healing which led to the removal of the external fixator. The patient returned 7 months after surgery showing good locomotion, with no clinical evidence of lameness. The techniques used in this case presented good results with good healing, good fracture stabilization and adequate immobilization of the radiocarpal joint.

Mitral valvular stenosis or supravalvular Mitral stenois (SVMS) is a congenital heart disease rarely diagnosed in cats. It is characterized by narrowing of the valve orifice or by presence of a supravalvular ring causing obstruction to mitral inflow and impaired atrial emptying, leading to increased left atrial pressure and pulmonary edema. Clinical signs include dyspnea, pulmonary hypertension, and arterial thromboembolism due to blood stasis associated with left atrial enlargement. We report the case of a 2-year-old feline with signs of aortic thromboembolism. The presence of supravalvular ring, and turbulent transmitral diastolic flow, confirming the diagnosis of SVMS. The importance of the inclusion of Mitral stenosis in the differential diagnosis of left atrial enlargement and aortic thromboembolism in felines is highlighted.

This study evaluated the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites and the frequency of parasitic infection in dogs of three different canine housing system in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A total of 125 fecal samples from dogs from shelter kennels, military kennels and commercial kennels was evaluated. Presence of endoparasites was observed in 50.4% of these samples, with mono infection occurring in 48% and multi-infection in 2.4%. Ancylostoma spp. was the most prevalent parasite. Dogs from shelter kennels had a higher rate of infection, followed by dogs at commercial and military kennels. The frequency of antiparasitic treatment was different at the three housing sites. The presence of parasitic species of zoonotic potential in dogs of the studied region suggests that even in urban areas there is a risk of infection of humans with canine intestinal parasites.
