Ventral Midline Preputial Approach to the Caudal Abdomen in Male Dogs.

Objective: To describe a ventral midline preputial approach to the caudal abdominal cavity of male dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical study.

Sample Population: Client-owned dogs (n=12).

Association of mineralisations in the stifle joint of domestic cats with degenerative joint disease and cranial cruciate ligament pathology.

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, size, location and appearance of mineralisations in feline stifle joints, and to evaluate their relationship with osteoarthritis and cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) status. Methods Presence or absence, and size of mineralisations were determined from lateral stifle radiographs of 25 cats with CrCL rupture, and 44 cat cadavers without CrCL rupture. Mineralisations were classified as small, medium or large.

Medial humeral epicondylitis in clinically affected cats.

Objective: To describe the clinical signs and histologic changes in cats clinically affected with medial humeral epicondylitis (MHE) and evaluate long-term outcome after either conservative or surgical treatment.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Animals: Client-owned cats (n = 17) with MHE.

Comparative investigations on the upper respiratory tract in Norwich terriers, brachycephalic and mesaticephalic dogs.

For some time Norwich terriers have been known to suffer from respiratory problems. In order to assign this weakness to a pathophysiology, 23 terriers were examined clinically, with laryngoscope and with rhinomanometry. In addition their skulls were dimensioned on radiographs.

Medial humeral epicondylitis in cats.

Objective: To describe medial humeral epicondylitis in cats based on radiographic, anatomic, and histologic observations.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Animals: Feline cadavers (n = 60).
