The radiographic appearance of the canine femoral nutrient foramen for dogs undergoing total hip replacement is consistent, with some variations.

Objective: This study aimed to document the radiographic appearance of the femoral nutrient foramina and the variation of this in dogs undergoing total hip replacement (THR). Our hypothesis was that the radiographic appearance of the foramen would be consistent with the previously described anatomy, with some variations.

Animals: 89 client-owned dogs.

Clinical features, MRI findings and outcome of a primary extranodal B-cell lymphoma affecting the tympanic bulla treated with chemotherapy alone.

Case Summary: A 2-year-old neutered female feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)-negative domestic shorthair cat was referred with an acute onset of vestibular signs. A clinical examination identified evidence of otitis externa of the right ear and enlargement of the right mandibular lymph node. MRI revealed predominantly T2 and FLAIR hyperintense and contrast-enhancing lesions affecting the right external ear canal, tympanic bulla and nasopharyngeal regions with intracranial extension.

Polioencephalopathy in Eurasier dogs.

Background: Polioencephalopathies secondary to inborn errors of metabolism have been described in dogs, but few genetically characterized.

Objectives: Clinically and genetically characterize polioencephalopathy in a family of Eurasier dogs.

Animals: Three Eurasier dogs (littermates) presented with early onset movement disorders (9 weeks in 2, 4-6 months in 1).

Skin fragility in a cat presenting with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.

Case Summary: A case of skin fragility in an 8-year-old domestic shorthair cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism is described. The cat was referred to the Feline Centre at Langford Small Animal Hospital with a 2-month history of multiple skin wounds with no known traumatic aetiology. A low-dose dexamethasone suppression test was performed before referral, which was consistent with hyperadrenocorticism.

Morphological Assessment of the Temporomandibular Joint in Asymptomatic Brachycephalic Dogs Using Computed Tomography.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) incongruity and morphological variations can result in clinical signs but have also been reported in asymptomatic brachycephalic dogs. The purpose of this study was to assess TMJ morphology in a group of brachycephalic dogs using computed tomography (CT). French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Boxers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS), Chihuahuas, Lhasa Apsos, Pugs, Shih Tzus, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers were retrospectively enrolled.
