Splenic haemangioma represents a pathology that, although benign, through the impressive dimensions it reaches and through the side effects it imprints on the organs in the abdominal cavity can present a real risk to the vital prognosis of the animal. The preferred diagnostic modality in these cases is excisional biopsy. This paper describes the examination of a case to obtain a definite diagnosis, the surgical intervention and the postoperative evolution.

Tympanokeratoma is an otic affliction, frequently known as cholesteatoma or epidermoid cyst, being characterized as an non-neoplastic mass formation at the level of the middle ear. This mass is compose of keratin debris covered with keratinizing squamous epithelium, with multiple layers. It presents a continuous growth and determines the destruction of the tympanic bulla wall. Imaging examination reveals the presence of a soft tissue-like material in the middle ear and with different grades of affliction of the tympanic bulla wall integrity. The imaging examination helps to identify the tympanokeratoma, but the final diagnosis is establish by histopathological examination.

Peritoneal dialysis is considered a method of renal function substitution in veterinary medicine, with the role of continuous replacement of renal function through which a hydroelectrolytic and acid-base rebalancing of the feline patient with renal damage, in the absence of fulfilling the endocrine functions and kidney metabolism. The study included patients with stage 2 renal failure, identified in five cats, with stage 3 detected in five individuals, and with stage four detected in 20 felines and 20 cases with acute kidney damage. Peritoneal dialysis was implemented with an accommodation protocol represented by the administration of 15 ml/kg, followed by 30 ml/kg, 45 ml/kg and 60 ml/kg every 4 hours. Representative results were recorded during peritoneal dialysis sessions with 4 shifts per day, with 4 hours of shift time. Cumulative results on the complete analysis of the relevance of peritoneal dialysis on different stages of renal damage indicate a positive therapeutic response by decreasing the biochemical parameters of interest.

Photosensitization, also known as photodermatitis, is an abnormal reaction of the skin when exposed to light and is caused by accumulation of photosensitizing substances in the skin, resulting in a severe dermatitis of the skin unprotected by unpigmented. There are three types of photosensitization: (a) primary, in which photodynamic chemicals, or plant toxins, reach the skin through the circulation, (b) congenital porphyria, in which there is a metabolic, congenital defect in porphyrin metabolism, and (c) secondary (hepatogenous), which occurs when the capacity of the liver to excrete derived from the catabolism of alimentary chlorophyll is impaired. We consider that liver pathologies are the most important in animals from Romania.

Hypothyroidism is an endocrine pathology frequently encountered in dogs, whose diagnosis involves a series of difficulties due to the insidious onset of the disease and the non-specific clinical manifestations, which can mimic other diseases (metabolic, dermatological, neuromuscular, etc.). However, the development of modern diagnostic techniques and the widespread availability of specific determinations, such as total canine T4, free canine T4 and TSH, have led to an increase in diagnostic accuracy and the possibility of differentiating hypothyroidism from other diseases with similar manifestations. In recent years, numerous articles have investigated the etiology of the disease, however in our country there are few data regarding the prevalence and risk factors of this condition in the canine population. This article was carried out on 18 dogs diagnosed with hypothyroidism at the Emergency University Veterinary Hospital “Prof. Dr. Alin Bîrţoiu” between 2021 and 2022. All patients included in the study presented neurological manifestations. The diagnostic protocol included anamnesis, analysis of signalment, complete clinical examination, neurological examination and confirmation by serological investigations, the data obtained being compared with those provided by other similar studies.

The therapeutic management in chronic renal failure, determined by polycystic kidney disease (PKD), is dynamically adapted depending on the evolutionary type of the condition and the progression of the cysts. The objectives of nutritional therapy consist in providing adequate nutritional support, reducing the clinical expression and effects of uremic intoxication, reducing hydroelectrolytic changes, vitamin-mineral and acid-base disturbances, along with limiting the progression of renal disease. Drug therapy aims at the management of the physiopathological consequences related to each stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), represented by the decrease of the functional force, the reduction of the symptoms and the effects of uremic intoxication, the reduction of the hydroelectrolytic changes and disturbances of the vitamin, mineral metabolism and acidosis and the limitation of the morbid process progression.

Peritoneal dialysis is a medical procedure used to remove dialyzable (endogenous and exogenous) toxins, both in acute kidney injury and in chronic kidney disease. Each animal which has indication for peritoneal dialysis needs a rigorous clinical examination before the procedure, and also biochemical and haematological blood analyses, as well as urinalysis. It is important to know the etiology, the evolution of the disease, as well as the existence of other conditions or the treatment the patient is receiving. Complications of peritoneal dialysis are common but can be easily managed if known or addressed early. The most common complications are peritoneal catheter obstruction, electrolyte imbalances, hypoalbuminemia and bacterial peritonitis.

Keeping different species of lizards as pets means the development of artificial environments, terrariums or aquateraria, which offer conditions as close as possible to those in the natural environment, as well as the development of appropriate feeding systems. In the category of pet lizards we include: chameleons, agamids, iguanas, skinks, anoles, lizards or geckos. There are extremely different categories of lizards in terms of environmental and feeding requirements and with a special ecobiology, sometimes characteristic of a single species or of several species within a genus. Maintenance deficiencies are most frequently translated by metabolic disorders, frequently associated with infections or parasites that are not diagnosed in individuals of the same species living in the natural environment. In general, a series of viruses or bacterioses overlaped on an immunodeficient background that appears as a result of improper feeding or defective environmental parameters.

In baby pigs (piglets), poor gluconeogenesis and lactose are the only source of carbohydrate in the first days of life, which make them predisposed to hypoglycemia, in correlation with an improper/inadequate intake of colostrum/milk being responsible for this important pathological status. The early approach to this disease and the sustained specific treatment cand provide a positive and fast recovering of the affected patients.
