Background: Subcutaneous mast cell tumours (ScMCTs) have been traditionally associated with a good prognosis, with low rates of recurrence and metastasis.

Objectives: This study aims to describe the clinical presentation, outcome, and prognostic factors in dogs diagnosed with ScMCTs and treated with a curative-intent approach.

Methods: Clinical and histopathological data were retrospectively collected from dogs diagnosed with ScMCTs after undergoing curative-intent surgery and complete staging between 2018 and 2023 in a single institution.

Nasal carcinomas in dogs are locally invasive neoplasms with a low metastatic rate that pose significant treatment challenges due to their location and aggressiveness. This study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and therapeutic outcomes of computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation (CT-guided RFA) in 15 dogs diagnosed with nasal adenocarcinoma. All patients underwent staging and histopathological diagnosis before treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study tested radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a less risky alternative to surgery for treating insulinomas in 29 dogs, targeting tumors in the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes/liver.
  • * Results showed RFA significantly improved blood glucose levels and reduced tumor size with minimal complications, indicating it could be a safe and effective treatment option.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed 18 cats with anemia of suspected immune-mediated origin (ASIMO) and found conflicting results in FeLV diagnosis tests.
  • It highlighted the presence of both immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and precursor targeted immune-mediated anemia (PIMA) among the cats, with a significant survival rate of 78%.
  • The research emphasizes the importance of verifying FeLV SNAP ELISA positive results with further testing, such as pro-virus PCR, due to inconsistencies in different diagnostic methods.
