Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the CT features of Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) in cats, focusing on their occurrence following trauma and their unique fluid characteristics.
- Three young cats with recurrent swelling after pelvic limb trauma were examined, all showing fluid-filled spaces between the dermis and deep fascia.
- MLLs can be easily misdiagnosed due to similar appearances to other injuries, posing risks like significant skin necrosis if not treated properly.
Objectives: To describe the clinical presentation, management and outcome of cases presenting with intrathoracic wooden skewers originating from the abdominal gastrointestinal tract.
Materials And Methods: Clinical records of dogs presented and treated for an intrathoracic wooden skewer were reviewed from June to August 2020. Data included signalment, clinical presentation, duration of clinical signs, haematological and biochemical abnormalities, diagnostic imaging findings, surgical procedure, postoperative complications and outcome.
Four male neutered continental giant rabbits aged between 10 and 30 months were presented with femoral condylar fractures, which developed without an observed traumatic injury. Stabilisation of the condylar fracture was achieved with screw fixation in all cases, which was supplemented with additional fixation in three cases. Complications consequent to the surgical intervention occurred in two cases: a femoral fracture and loss of fixation.

Methods: Twenty-one cats with straight orthogonal normal pelvic radiographs were included. Two start points were evaluated: a midpoint and a dorsal point.
Article Synopsis
- Albuminocytological dissociation (ACD) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is seen as high protein levels with normal cell counts, indicating issues related to the blood-brain barrier or CSF flow.
- A study reviewed CSF data from 497 dogs with neurological issues, finding ACD in 16.5% of samples, with certain diseases showing higher rates of ACD.
- The most affected conditions included cranial nerve neuropathy, brain tumors, idiopathic vestibular disease, and brain vascular disease, shedding light on their CSF patterns and prevalence of ACD in dogs.
