A 2-year-old Norfolk Terrier purebred female dog was presented for urgent attention after strangulation secondary to elevator entrapment. The traumatic event caused a complex laryngopharyngeal lesion with total laryngotracheal and esophageal separation from the hyoid bone and pharynx. Reconstruction was performed from the posterior pharyngeal wall, and all layers, mucosa, muscles and ligaments were repaired. A thyrohyoidopexy was done using nonabsorbable sutures to reinforce the thyrohyoid membrane reconstruction and prevent reseparation in the immediate postoperative period. The patient's fully recovery was gradual but uneventful, with occasional cough resolving within 2 months.

Protothecosis is a rare and unusual disease that affects both humans and animals, including dogs. The causative agents are unicellular, achlorophyllous, "yeast-like" microalgae of the genus Prototheca (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta). Although usually saprophytic, Prototheca may, under conditions of immunologic compromise, become pathogenic and even lethal to the host.

Management of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in zoos involves several challenges, including the difficulty of providing appropriate stimulation and enrichment for naturally wide-ranging, energetic, cursorial hunters. Perhaps consequently, zoo packs can exhibit bouts of extreme intra-pack aggression rarely seen in the wild. As with other species, considerable efforts are required to balance the retention and exhibition of wild-type behaviors, against ensuring that the nutritional and welfare needs of individual group-living animals are met.

Background: Pulmonary involvement of Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (PNLCH) is a rare cause of interstitial pulmonary disease in people and are classified as either Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). In veterinary medicine, feline pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) has been identified as an infiltrative histiocytic disorder with an insidious onset of progressive respiratory distress and is non-responsiveness to empiric therapies. Unfortunately, subsequent death either from respiratory failure or humane euthanasia are the reported outcomes in all reported cases.
