Abstract A Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier with an ichthyosiform dermatosis is described. Patches of thick, scaly skin were apparent from birth and progressed in extent as the dog aged. At 3 months of age, the scaling was generalized and was accompanied by a greasy exudation which matted the haircoat. The skin was greasy and there was generalized scaling, but the skin of the head and pinnae of the ears was most affected. There was minimal involvement of the foot-pads. Microscopically, the skin had patchy áreas of ortho-and parakeratotic hyperkeratosis, follicular keratosis, superficial perivascular dermatitis, and variable hypergranulosis. Electron microscopical findings were consistent with proliferative hyperkeratosis. The dog did not respond to treatment with benzoyl peroxide shampoos, humectant sprays, and isotretinoin. Comparative features of skin diseases similar to this canine ichthyosiform dermatosis are discussed. Résumé- Une dermatose ichtyosiforme est observée sur un Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. Des zones cutanées squameuses et épaissies apparues dès la naissance s'étendent avec l'âge. A l'âge de 3 mois, l'état squameux est généralisé et associé avec une séborrhée grasse qui collent les poils entre eux. Les lésions sont généralisées avec toutefois un prédilection pour la face et les pavilions auriculaires. Les lésions podales sont peu importantes. Les lésions histopathologiques sont caractérisées par une hyperkératose orthokératosique et parakératosique, une kératose folliculaire, une dermite périvasculaire superficielle et une hypergranulose variable. La microscopic électronique montre une hyperkératose proliférative. Le chien n'a pas répondu aux shampooings au peroxyde de benzoyle, aux sprays hydratants et à risotrétinoi'ne. Les aspects comparés de cette dermatose ichtyosiforme sont discutées. [Helman, R. G., Rames, D. S., Chester, D. K. Ichtyosiform dermatosis in a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier.

Desde el nacimiento presentaba áreas de piel descamativa y engrosada que se extendieron con la edad. A los tres meses, la descamación era generalizada y se acompañaba de un exhudado oleoso que enmarañaba el pelo. La piel se encontraba oleosa y habia descamación generalizada, siendo la piel de la cabeza y pabellones auriculares la más afectada. Los cojinetes se encontraban poco afectados. Microscopicamente la piel presentaba áreas dispersas de hiperqueratosis orto-y paraqueratótica, queratosis folicular, dermatitis perivascular superficial e hipergranulosis variable. Los hallazgos ultraestructurales fueron compatibles con una hiperqueratosis proliferativa. El perro no respondió a un tratamiento con champú de peróxido de benzoilo, esprais humectantes e isotretinoina. Se discuten aspectos comparativos de enferemedades cutáneas similares a esta dermatosis ictiosiforme canina. [Helman, R. G., Rames, D. S., Chester, D. K. Ichthyosiform dermatosis in a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. (Dermatosis ictiosiforme en un Soft Wheaten Terrier.) Veterinary Dermatology 1997; 8: 53-58.] Zusammenfassung- Es wird eine ichthyosiforme Dermatose bei einem Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier beschrieben. Von Geburt an waren Bezirke mit dicker, schuppiger Haut sichtbar, die sich in der Ausdehnung mit zunehmendem Alter der Hundes vergrößerten. Im Alter von drei Monaten war die Schuppenbildung generalisiert und wurde von einer schmierigen Exsudation begleitet, die das Haarkleid verklebte. Die Haut war schmierig und das Schuppen generalisiert, jedoch war die Haut am Kopf und den Ohren am stärksten betroffen. Die Pfotenballen waren nur minimal miteinbezogen. Bei der mikroskopischen Untersuchung zeigte die Haut herdförmige Bezirke von ortho-und parakeratotischer Hyperkeratose, follikulärer Keratose, oberflächlicher perivaskulärer Dermatitis und variabler Hypergranulose. Die elektronenmikroskopischen Befunde gingen mit der proliferativen Hyperkeratose konform. Der Hund sprach auf die Behandlung mit Benzoylperoxid-Schampoos, feuchigkeitsspendenden Sprays und Isotretinoin nicht an. Vergleichbare Erscheinungen von Hauterkrankungen, die dieser caninen ichthyosiformen Dermatose ähneln, werden diskutiert. [Helman, R. G., Rames, D. S., Chester, D. K.

Background: No specific study on concurrent nephropathy has been conducted in dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE), except for soft-coated Wheaten Terriers. Moreover, limited information exists regarding the urinary profile in dogs with CE.
Aim: To describe, compare, and discuss the alterations in selected serum biochemical and urinary parameters in dogs with CE.

A hereditary movement disorder in Soft coated wheaten terriers (SCWT) has been associated with a mutation in PIGN which encodes an enzyme involved in synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). The objective of this study was to describe and classify the clinical phenotype and assess therapeutic response. Twenty-five SCWT and related dogs homozygous for PIGN:c.

A 6 year old Wheaten Terrier mix with a history of collapse and lethargy was referred for evaluation of pericardial effusion. The echocardiogram identified pericardial effusion and a right auricular mass. No sign of metastasis was noted at this time in thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasounds.

An Entlebucher Mountain Dog (57 months old, case 1), a Labrador Retriever (24 months, case 2) and an Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier (31 months old, case 3) were presented for breeding soundness evaluation to the clinic. During semen collection in all 3 dogs, the pre-secretion and the sperm-rich fraction showed normal consistency and colour, whereas the prostatic secretion (3 rd ejaculate fraction) appeared strikingly yellow. In cases 1 and 2, a severely decreased sperm motility (asthenozoospermia) and an increased amount of abnormal spermatozoa (teratozoospermia), and in case 3, a moderately decreased total sperm count (oligozoospermia) were detected.
