Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine II, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, 35-1 Higashi 23 Ban-Cho, Towada 034-8628, Aomori, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed skull shape variations in 50 adult dogs, categorizing them into brachycephalic, mesocephalic, and dolichocephalic types based on skull index (SI).
- Significant differences were found in skull and facial lengths, with brachycephalic dogs having shorter measurements, as well as shorter orbital depths compared to other types.
- The study concluded that the optic canal angles and zygomatic bone structure play crucial roles in breed-specific orbital variations, linking facial structure to the base of the skull.
Construction of diagnostic prediction model for canine nasal diseases using less invasive examinations without anesthesia.

Advanced imaging techniques under general anesthesia are frequently employed to achieve a definitive diagnosis of canine nasal diseases. However, these examinations may not be performed immediately in all cases. This study aimed to construct prediction models for canine nasal diseases using less-invasive examinations such as clinical signs and radiography.

In humans, tear volume increases during emotional arousal. To our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the relationship between emotional arousal and tear volume in animals. We performed the Schirmer tear test (STT) and measured tear volume in dogs before and after reunions with owners and familiar non-owners.

DVMs Animal Medical Center Yokohama, Yokohama, Kanagawa, 224-0044, Japan.
Objective: To describe the clinical signs, clinical course, and prognosis of suspected left atrial rupture (LAR) secondary to myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in dogs and to compare them with dogs with suspected neoplastic cardiac tamponade (NCT).
Design: Retrospective study from November 2015 to October 2019 SETTING: An out-of-hours Emergency Animal Hospital.
Animals: Twenty-three dogs with LAR secondary to MMVD (LAR group) and 47 dogs with NCT (NCT group).
Dog leukocyte antigen (DLA) class II genotypes associated with chronic enteropathy in French bulldogs and miniature dachshunds.

Canine chronic enteropathy (CE) is a group of immunogenetic disorders of unclear etiology characterized by chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal signs and inflammation. Diagnosis of CE subtypes by treatment response is a lengthy and challenging process, particularly in refractory cases of the disease. Given known association of dog leukocyte antigen (DLA) class II genotype and various immunogenetic disorders between and across breeds, this study was designed to examine the potential of determining susceptibility to refractory CE through identification of risk and protective genotypes in French bulldogs and miniature dachshunds-two popular dog breeds in Japan.

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone deformities of the distal femur of Toy Poodles with medial patellar luxation (MPL) using computed tomography.
Methods: Computed tomography data from 37 stifles of Toy Poodles (16 normal, 10 grade 2 MPL and 11 grade 4 MPL) were analysed. For trochlear morphology, sulcus angle, medial or lateral trochlear inclination and trochlear angle were compared.
