Retrospective Study (2009-2014): Perineal Hernias and Related Comorbidities in Bitches.

Retrospective study based on data extracted from medical records of dogs diagnosed with perineal hernia between 2009 and 2014; medical records of bitches were selected for further analysis to determine the prevalence of perineal hernias in bitches and to investigate potential comorbidities. Perineal hernia was diagnosed in 182 dogs (174 males and 8 females; 96% and 4%, respectively). Surgical correction was performed in 6 bitches.

Tomography, Radiography, and Rhinoscopy in Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Lesions Affecting the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses in Dogs: Comparative Study.

Canine nasal and paranasal diseases have variable causes. Presumptive diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations; however, high similarity of clinical signs often calls for diagnostic imaging modalities and rhinoscopy before a definitive diagnosis can be reached. This study sets out to determine the value of rhinoscopy, radiography, and computed tomography (CT) of the head for canine nasal and paranasal disease diagnosis using a purposely developed comparative score.

Evaluation of a modified hemimandibulectomy for treatment of oral neoplasms in dogs.

A modified hemimandibulectomy was performed for treatment of oral neoplasms in 21 dogs. Intra- and postoperative evaluations included assessment of procedure difficulty, complications, mastication, cosmesis, and the time interval between surgery and recurrence of the neoplasm or clinical evidence of metastasis. Malignant melanoma was the most common neoplasm treated using this technique.
