Factors associated with pathological fractures in dogs with appendicular primary bone neoplasia: 84 cases (2007-2013).

Objective: To determine the incidence of pathological fractures associated with appendicular primary bone tumors in dogs managed medically and to identify potential risk factors at the time of radiographic diagnosis that may be associated with eventual pathological fracture.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: 84 dogs with primary long bone neoplasia treated medically.

Single-incision, laparoscopic-assisted jejunal resection and anastomosis following a gunshot wound.

A 2 yr old castrated male Pomeranian was evaluated for a 6 wk history of chronic vomiting, intermittent anorexia, and lethargy. Physical examination revealed a palpable, nonpainful, soft-tissue mass in the midabdominal area. Abdominal radiographs and ultrasound revealed a focal, eccentric thickening of the jejunal wall with associated jejunal mural foreign body and partial mechanical obstruction.
