The study involved a gross anatomical description of the parotid gland, mandibular gland, monostomatic sublingual gland, polystomatic sublingual gland, and zygomatic gland in 12 adult Eurasian wolves (Canis lupus lupus) (wild free-ranging individuals and their zoo counterparts), including their morphometry and microscopic evaluation using hematoxylin & eosin, mucicarmine, azan trichrome, PAS, AB pH 1.0, AB pH 2.5; AB pH 2.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the oral cavity glands of South African painted dogs and fennec foxes, focusing on their anatomy and histology.
- The research found that while the parotid glands were the largest in both species, significant differences existed in the size, shape, and secretory product composition of the glands between the two canids.
- The findings suggest that despite their shared evolutionary background with other carnivores, the specific structures of these glands vary between the two species, highlighting their adaptation to different ecological niches.
The purpose of this case report is to present a poorly differentiated sarcoma in a pet rat. A veterinarian detected a small-sized nodular lesion in the ventral region of the neck during a follow-up visit related to another ailment. The anatomical structures found in the neck region in the rat and the differential diagnosis when deformities are palpated in this body part are discussed in detail.

In this study, we provide data on anatomical, morphometric, histological and histochemical examination of the orbital region, eyelids, orbital gland, and eye tunics in two adult males Ailurus fulgens fulgens from the Wroclaw Zoological Garden, Poland.
Methods: The study involved morphometric analysis of the eyeball and selected accessory organs of the eye, along with analysis of the bony orbit, including its morphometry, macroscopic, and microscopic evaluation.
Background: Hydrops fetalis (HF) is fluid accumulation in fetus body cavities and subcutaneous tissue. The condition has been described in various farm and companion animal species, including dogs. Most of cases result from a heart defect.
