송유미,이정양,이정우,정우창,이영원,최호정 한국임상수의학회 2013 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.30 No.2

A 4-month-old, intact male mongrel dog was presented with trauma (hit by car), astasia, stupor and abdominal pain. Radiographic findings were peritoneal effusion, intestinal dilation, right iliac fracture, and microcardia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed severely, dilated small intestine containing anechoic fluid in lumen and intramural gas within the wall. The sonographic finding suggested pnematosis intestinalis (PI), and vascular compromise of bowel loop by trauma was strongly suspected. After the dog was dead, postmortem examination revealed discolored and necrotized small intestine strangulated by sublumbar muscle. The detection of echogenic gas bubbles in the wall of bowel using ultrasound may be helpful in detecting PI.

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare prostate size using ultrasound and computedtomography (CT). The prostate gland was evaluated in eight normal Beagle dogs. Length, depth, and width of theprostate gland were measured by ultrasound and volume of the prostate was obtained from the two ellipsoid formula(US1, US2). Height, length, width, area, and volume of the prostate gland were measured by CT. Ratios of prostaticheight, length, and width to the sixth lumbar vertebral body length were calculated. There was no significant differencebetween the US1 and US2 method, and between US2 and CT method, respectively. The prostatic volume calculatedby US1 method was significantly lower than those with CT (p = 0.029). The Upper limits of ratios of prostate length,height, and width to the length of the sixth lumbar vertebra were 1.3, 1.1, and 1.7, respectively. Among these prostatedimensions, prostate length and height could be a useful index in estimating prostate size regardless of body weight.

An 1-year-old intact male Jindo dog weighing 20 kg was referred with 7-day history of vomiting, anorexia,and lethargy. The dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on clinical signs, urinalysis, serum biochemistry, radiology and abdominal ultrasonography. Ten days of conservative therapy was given, but there were no signs of improvement. The patient was euthanized and necropsy was conducted. Renal histopathology was consistent with juvenile nephropathy and this is the first report of juvenile nephropathy in a Jindo dog.

허수영,이동빈,이해범 한국임상수의학회 2013 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.30 No.5

An 11 year-old intact female Yorkshire Terrier weighing 3.5 kg was presented with the complain of having a perineal mass, fecal incontinence and tenesmus. Physical examination revealed reducible bilateral ventral perineal mass, enlarged mammary gland and vaginal discharge. Bilateral ventral perineal hernia (BVPH) and pyometra were diagnosed based on the clinical and radiographic findings. Ovariohysterectomy was performed after general anaesthesia to treat pyometra. The BVPH was repaired by herniorrhaphy with semitendinosus muscle transposition along with colopexy and cystopexy. The postoperative radiographs and CT revealed a good correction of the BVPH. The patient showed good activity after 10 days and no complications were observed during a one year follow up period. BVPH can be successfully surgically managed by herniorrhaphy with semitendinosus muscle transposition along with cystopexy and colopexy in the dog.

A 6-year-old, spayed female Cocker Spaniel was presented with generalized seborrhea sicca. Initially gallbladder mucocele (GM) was suggested by high liver enzyme activities and a stellate pattern in ultrasonography. There were no responses during 16 months of medical treatments for GM. Hormonal assay and histopathological findings were consistent with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine therapy led to rapid resolution of dermatologic, serum chemical and ultrasonographic abnormalities. This report describes serial changes of skin lesions, serum chemistry and ultrasonography in a dog with concurrent GM and hypothyroidism following treatment of hypothyroidism.

Evaluation of Plasma D-Dimer Concentration in Dogs with Chronic Mitral Valve Insufficiency

박정순,서상일,오연수,현창백 한국임상수의학회 2015 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.32 No.1

D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product (FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. D-dimer concentration is widely used for determining thrombosis and thromboembolism. Because one major cause of thromboembolism is congestive heart failure in human, we investigated the degree and risk of thromboembolism in dogs with different stage of congestive heart failure caused by chronic mitral valvular insufficiency (CMVI). The plasma level of d-dimer was evaluated in 20 healthy dogs and 30 dogs with different stage of congestive heart failure caused by CMVI. The d-dimer concentrations were measured by a commercialized assay kit. The plasma levels of d-dimer were not significantly different between healthy and CMVI dogs. Furthermore, there was no association of d-dimer concentrations to left atrium to aorta (LA/Ao) ratio, left ventricular dimension at diastole to aorta (LVIDd/Ao) ratio and severity of heart failure in our study population. Our study results implied that the degree of thromboembolism in canine heart failure might be minimal or the plasma d-dimer test might not be reliable for detecting thromboembolism in dogs.

An 8-year-old male red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in Species Restoration Technology Institute of Korea National Park Service (KNPS), revealed nodular growths in its ventro-cervical region. The fox was introduced from Young- Yang Gun in 2012 to KNPS for re-introduction of the red fox. It has been cared in captive facility and showed the mass in August 2013 that was sent to Wildlife Medical Center. For the diagnosis of underlying disease and cervical mass, radiographical and sonographical examinations, complete blood count, serum chemistry analysis, peripheral blood smear examination and surgical removal of the mass were performed. The mass was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and processed routinely for haematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain. Based on hematological and serum chemical examination, the fox showed mild leukocytosis, thrombopenia, increase of creatine kinase MB (CKMB) and uric acid. However, it was considered as no clinical relevance since the fox showed no related clinical signs. Macroscopically, the mass was round shape, whitish and well-demarcated. Microscopically, it was diagnosed as a lipoma consisting of mature adipose tissue. Lipoma is a common benign tumor in most domestic animals, however it has never been reported in the red fox. The present case report provides comprehensive diagnosis of a subcutaneous lipoma in a red fox.

정주현,진재봉,이현욱,최민철 한국임상수의학회 2014 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.31 No.6

An eight-year-old intact male Beagle had anorexia, vomiting, depression for two days. The dog hadhypoalbuminenia and mild azotemia on hematologic and clinical chemistry examinations. Severe proteinuria wasidentified on urinalysis. On abdominal ultrasonographs, there were small amount of ascites and bilateral renomegalywith severe hyperechoic renal cortex and hyperechoic medullary rim sign. Renal biopsy and histopathology revealedrenal amyloidosis. The quality of life in this dog was satisfactory with aggressive supportive care for three months. Euthanasia was performed due to deteriorated azotemia and nephrotic syndrome.

강민희,박희명 한국임상수의학회 2011 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.28 No.4

A 7-year-old castrated, domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 2-year history of chronic nasal discharge and sneezing. Upon presentation, bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge and stertorous respiration were marked. Physical examination revealed a tachypnea. Oral examination was unremarkable and chest radiology was normal. Findings of nasal cytology and skull radiology were not specific and further imaging technique, endoscopic examination and histopathology was performed for a definite diagnosis. Fluid, and/or soft tissue opacity was found in bilateral nasal cavity, nasopharyngeal regions and right side tympanic bulla through the CT scan. No evidence of neoplasia was revealed. A rigid rhinoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy and otoscopy was used for the visualization of the lesions and tissue biopsy biopsy was performed for histopathology. On histopathological examination, the nasal mass consisted mainly of large numbers of plasma cells and lymphocytes. And the final diagnosis was lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis based on histopathologic examination. Long term management with oral cyclosporine (5 mg/kg, BID) was safe and successful in this cat. This is the first case report described clinical and diagnostic characteristic features of feline lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis and its clinical outcome using oral cyclosporine in Korea.
