Investigation of the association of the MLPH gene with seasonal canine flank alopecia in Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs.
Canine Med Genet
October 2024
Expertise Centre of Genetics, Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Canine flank alopecia (CFA) is a recurring skin condition in dogs, particularly affecting breeds like the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and is characterized by hair loss and skin darkening without inflammation.
- A study analyzed 24 dogs with CFA and 12 healthy controls, finding evidence of genetic inheritance but no significant differences linked to the melanophylin (MLPH) gene.
- Though pedigree analysis suggested a genetic influence on CFA, the MLPH gene was not implicated, indicating the need for further research to understand the genetic basis of CFA in these dogs.
Can We Minimize the Risk of Dogs Developing Canine Otitis Externa?-A Retrospective Study on 321 Dogs.
Animals (Basel)
August 2024
Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, 30559 Hannover, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Canine otitis externa is a common issue in dogs that negatively impacts their quality of life, and this study aimed to identify factors that could reduce its occurrence.
- The research found that Rhodesian Ridgebacks and dogs without underlying infectious diseases had a lower risk of developing otitis externa, while Retrievers and dogs with allergies faced a higher risk.
- Additionally, normal-weight dogs with endocrinopathies were less likely to develop otitis compared to those that were overweight, suggesting that maintaining a healthy weight could help reduce the prevalence of this condition.
Assisting decision-making on age of neutering for German Short/Wirehaired Pointer, Mastiff, Newfoundland, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Siberian Husky: associated joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.
Front Vet Sci
April 2024
School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Spaying and neutering dogs in the U.S. is common during their first year, but research on 35 breeds indicates that early neutering may increase risks of joint disorders and certain cancers, particularly in larger and mixed-breed dogs.
- Some breeds show specific vulnerabilities, such as male and female Pointers having elevated risks for both joint issues and cancers, while females of certain breeds like Newfoundlands and Ridgebacks also face increased risks.
- A new study aims to analyze five additional breeds, reinforcing the need for personalized neutering decisions based on breed, sex, and individual health factors.
Prevalence of elbow dysplasia in 13 dog breeds in France: a retrospective radiographic study (2002-2022).

June 2024
Surgery Unit, Lyon Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Lyon, Veterinary Campus of VetAgro Sup, Marcy l'Etoile, France.
Objective: To describe the prevalence of elbow dysplasia (ED) in 13 dog breeds in France.
Animals: A total of 18,870 elbow radiographs taken from 2002 to 2022 were evaluated by 2 independent examiners.
Methods: For each breed, the incidence of each of the 4 International Elbow Working Group scoring classes was extracted from the database.

Animals: A 7-year-old male neutered Swiss shepherd, a 4-year-old female neutered golden retriever and a 9-year-old female neutered Rhodesian ridgeback.
Study Design: Short case series.
