The markers of the predictive DNA test for canine hip dysplasia may have a stronger relationship with elbow dysplasia.

Canine hip and elbow dysplasias, which are prevalent orthopedic conditions rooted in developmental and hereditary factors are yet to be comprehensively assessed. This study aimed to address this gap by exploring the prognostic significance of five markers linked to canine hip dysplasia using available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. The influence of these markers on both hip and elbow dysplasia was examined in dogs exposed to standardized environmental conditions.

An unusual case of traumatic dorsolateral sacral hernia with retroflexion of the urinary bladder in a cat.

Background: Perineal hernias are rarely seen in cats and can be caused by congenital or trauma. The urinary bladder is the most herniated organ and was being observed in prepubic, ventral perineal, umbilical, or caudoventral abdominal regions.

Case Description: A 1-year-old female domestic short-haired cat was presented to the Animal Hospital of the Near East University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with complaints of urinary retention as well as the inability to defecate.

Pleuroperitoneal true diaphragmatic hernia of the liver in a cat.

A 2-year old female domestic shorthair cat was referred with intermittent vomiting. Laboratory analyses revealed only an elevated alanine aminotransferase activity. Plain thoracic radiographs showed a right-sided transdiaphragm protrusion of a liver lobe into the thoracic cavity.

Comparison of Insall-Salvati Index and Its Modification in Normal Dogs from Four Different Body Weight Groups.

Objective:  The objectives of this study were to record the values of Insall-Salvati (IS) index and its modification in dogs classified into four different body weight groups and to determine whether these index values were influenced by sex.

Study Design:  Bilateral mediolateral radiographs of 86 dogs were obtained. The dogs were classified into four different body weight groups: small, medium, large and giant.

Perosomus elumbis in a Holstein calf infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus.

The detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in a female Holstein calf presented with perosomus elumbis, a congenital anomaly, is reported here. A cow with dystocia was evaluated and an abnormal dead calf was detected during vaginal examination. The calf was retrieved via caesarean section and exhibited abnormalities characteristic of PE, such as vertebral and pelvic malformations.

Relation between intravascular electrolyte level and course of parturition in dairy cows.

Objective: To determine the intravascular electrolyte status in dairy cows with respect to age and different courses of parturition to clarify etiological factors influencing peri- or intrapartal imbalances of electrolyte homeostasis.

Material And Methods: A total of 64 cows at birth were evaluated (primiparous n = 34, pluriparous n = 30). Thirty-three cows showed normal delivery, while 31 cows had a complicated birth.

Prevalence and accompanying signs of pneumovagina and urovagina in dairy cows in the Southern Marmara region.

Objective: Studies on the prevalence of pneumo- and urovagina in cows are rare. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the most common accompanying clinical signs of pneumo- and urovagina in dairy cows.

Material And Methods: Between 2007 and 2010 a total of 1167 Holstein and Brown Swiss cows were examined clinically and bacteriologically.

Unilateral and bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy in 157 mares: a retrospective multicenter study.

Objective: To evaluate surgical techniques, perioperative complications and outcome of laparoscopic surgery for unilateral and bilateral ovariectomy in mares.

Study Design: Retrospective multicenter case series.

Animals: Mares (n = 157).

Modified colostomy technique for colonic atresia in calves.

Objective: To report a modified colostomy technique for permanent fecal diversion in calves with colonic atresia.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Animals: Calves (n=19) with colonic atresia.

Accuracy of ultrasonography in detecting fragmentation of the medial coronoid process in dogs.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of ultrasonography in detecting fragmentation of the medial coronoid process (FMCP) in dogs.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Animals: 102 dogs (112 elbow joints) suspected to have FMCP.

Comparison of clinical, ultrasonographic, and postoperative macroscopic findings in cows with bursitis.

Clinical, ultrasonographic, and macroscopic findings of bursitis in cows were compared to assess the contribution of diagnosis and therapy planning. Sixteen dairy cows with swelling at the carpal (n = 12) or tarsal (n = 4) region were examined clinically and ultrasonographically and the findings were compared. In 10 patients the bursae were removed in toto.
