Objective: To observe local and systemic toxicity after sustained-release 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) implantation in canine peritoneum and para-aortic abdominalis and the changes of drug concentration in the local implanted tissue with time.
Methods: 300 mg sustained-release 5-Fu was implanted into canine peritoneum and para-aorta abdominalis. Samples were taken 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after implantation for assessment of changes and systemic reactions. High performance liquid chromatography was applied to detect the drug concentrations of peritoneal tissue at different distances from the implanted site, lymphatic tissue of para-aortic abdominalis, peripheral blood and portal venous blood.
Results: 10 days after implantation, the drug concentrations in the peritoneum, lymphatic tissue and portal vein remained relatively high within 5 cm of the implanted site. There appeared inflammatory reaction in the local implanted tissue, but no visible pathological changes such as cell degeneration and necrosis, and systemic reaction like anorexia, nausea, vomiting and fever.
Conclusions: Sustained-release 5-Fu implantation in canine peritoneum and para-aortic abdominalis can maintain a relatively high tumour- inhibiting concentration for a longer time in the local implanted area and portal vein, and has mild local and systemic reactions. Besides, it is safe and effective to prevent or treat recurrence of gastrointestinal tumours and liver metastasis.

Malignant Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor arising from the peritoneum, pleura or pericardium. It's rarely reported in dogs. Currently, there are two classifications of neoplasia: one for human medicine and other for veterinary.

Article Synopsis
- - Omental wrapping is a complication in peritoneal dialysis that leads to catheter malfunction; a study evaluated the use of a Modified Low-Temperature Plasma Ablation (MLTPA) blade to address this issue.
- - The study involved experiments with nine beagles, comparing outcomes between the MLTPA blade and Gastroscopic Biopsy Forceps (GBF), which showed that the MLTPA blade significantly improved catheter function without causing damage.
- - Results indicated a 100% success rate in catheter recanalization using the MLTPA blade and no significant complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective treatment for omental-wrapped catheters.

Although a phylogenetically close relative of , differs from in that it does not infect mice and only infects a small number of ruminant and canine species. We recently showed that and grow similarly in mice during the first 24 h post-infection, but only induces an IFNγ-driven response within hours that controls the infection.

Minipigs are valued alternatives to dogs and non-human primates in non-clinical safety and toxicity studies, and Göttingen minipigs are bred specifically for experimental purposes. They are bred under barrier conditions and monitored regularly for many pathogens and opportunistic agents, and spontaneous disease is rare when compared to what is seen in production pigs. Knowledge of spontaneous background lesions is important when toxicological pathologists evaluate microscopic findings in pre-clinical toxicity studies to avoid interference with study data interpretation.

The surgical reconstruction of severe corneal ulcers is a common and crucial component of the clinical practice of veterinary ophthalmology. Numerous surgical techniques are used in dogs for corneal reconstruction, and these techniques may be categorized by the material used to repair the corneal lesion. The first part of the present review described procedures that utilize autogenous ocular tissues, homologous donor tissues, and heterologous donor tissues.
