Objective: To report anconeus muscle injury in a greyhound.
Animal: One 11-month-old female greyhound.
Study Design: Case report METHODS: The dog presented with a 6-week history of mild left foreleg lameness.
Article Synopsis
- A study identified a specific genetic mutation in the CYB R gene linked to congenital methemoglobinemia in a Pomeranian dog that experienced symptoms like cyanosis and mild exercise intolerance.
- The mutation was a homozygous missense change (ATC ➔ CTC) that resulted in a significant amino acid substitution, which appears to be pathogenic and is conserved across other mammals.
- This genetic alteration is the same as one found in a family of Japanese Pomeranian dogs, suggesting that it may be common within the breed globally.
Objective: To determine (1) the minimum number of throws to form secure Aberdeen (AB) and square knots to start (SS) and end (SE) continuous patterns, in fat- and plasma-coated polydioxanone; and (2) compare relative knot security (RKS) and knot volumes of these secure SS, SE, and AB knots.
Study Design: In vitro experimental materials testing.
Sample Population: Polydioxanone suture material (3 metric).
Objective: To report injuries of the biceps brachii (BTI) or brachialis (BrTI) tendons of insertion in 11 racing Greyhounds.
Study Design: Case series.
Animals: Greyhounds (n=11).
