Clinical relevance of radiographic linear branching mineral opacities in the canine liver
ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence, clinical significance and breed distribution of linear branching mineralisation superimposed on the hepatic radiographic silhouette in dogs.
Materials and MethodsRetrospective review of radiographs or ultrasound images of dogs showing branching mineralisation in the liver.
ResultsOver the 30‐year review period, 17 cases were identified and the mineralisation had a predominantly ventral distribution. Seven of the 17 were cavalier King Charles spaniels, and four of the total 17 dogs were diagnosed with hepatobiliary system disease. Five dogs had repeat radiographs, of which four showed n...

Doxycycline treatment efficacy in dogs with naturally occurring Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection
This study did not find clinical, haematological or microbiological indicators that supported the persistence of A. phagocytophilum infection in naturally infected dogs following treatment with doxycycline for 28 days. (Source: The Journal of Small Animal Practice)

Urine sodium concentrations are predictive of hypoadrenocorticism in hyponatraemic dogs: a retrospective pilot study
ObjectivesTo determine if a urine sodium concentration could be used to rule out hypoadrenocorticism in hyponatraemic dogs.
Materials and MethodsMedical records were reviewed for hyponatraemic dogs (serum sodium<135 mmol/L) that had recorded urine sodium concentrations. Twenty hyponatraemic dogs were included: 11 diagnosed with classical hypoadrenocorticism and nine with non‐adrenal causes of hyponatraemia. A Wilcoxon rank‐sum test was used to compare results between groups.
ResultsNo dog with hypoadrenocorticism had a urine sodium concentration less than 30 mmol/L. Urine sodium concentration in dogs with hypoadreno...

Presumptive migrating gall bladder mucocoele in two dogs with gall bladder rupture
A 10‐year‐old neutered female soft‐coated wheaten terrier and a 10‐year‐old, entire female Pomeranian were presented for vomiting and anorexia. Using ultrasound, an oval structure with a stellate, kiwifruit‐like appearance typical of a gall bladder mucocoele was observed in the caudal abdomen of the soft‐coated wheaten terrier and adjacent to the liver in the Pomeranian. There was also a moderate volume of abdominal effusion in both dogs. Cytology of the peritoneal fluid indicated a sterile exudative process but varied between the two dogs, with an absence of bile pigment in the soft‐coated wheaten terrier ...

Otitis media with effusion in the boxer: a report of seven cases
The aim of this study was to describe otitis media with effusion in seven boxers. All dogs presented with a range of clinical signs, which included head shaking, neurological dysfunction, pain on opening of the mouth and reduction in hearing ability. Otitis media was confirmed under general anaesthesia in each case by video‐otoscopic identification of a bulging pars tensa and subsequent myringotomy, which revealed a tenacious mucus plug within the middle ear. Brainstem auditory evoked response thresholds were elevated in all affected ears. In three cases, CT revealed soft tissue opacity in the affected bulla. All of the ...

Tibial plateau levelling osteotomy locking ‐compression plates for stabilisation of canine and feline ilial body fractures
ObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes following surgical stabilisation of ilial fractures in dogs and cats using a laterally applied Synthes TPLO locking compression plate.
Materials and MethodsMedical records and radiographs of seven dogs and two cats which had undergone surgical repair of an ilial body fracture with a TPLO locking compression plate were reviewed. Long‐term clinical follow‐up was obtained from an owner or referring veterinarian questionnaire.
ResultsFracture reduction was anatomic in six of nine ilia and near‐anatomic in three of nine. All but one fracture achieved osseous uni...

Does thalidomide prolong survival in dogs with splenic haemangiosarcoma?
ObjectivesTo investigate thalidomide as an adjuvant treatment for canine haemangiosarcoma.
Materials and MethodsFifteen dogs with splenic haemangiosarcoma, initially treated by splenectomy, were included. Following recovery from surgery, all dogs received thalidomide continuously until their death. Tumour stage was established using CT scans of the chest and abdomen immediately before starting thalidomide treatment and again three months later. Cause of death was confirmed by post mortem examination.
ResultsThe median survival time of dogs receiving thalidomide was 172 days (95% confidence interval: 93 to 250 days). Fi...

Subconjunctival Dirofilaria repens infection in a dog resident in the UK
Dirofilaria repens infection was diagnosed in a 5‐year‐old female German shepherd crossbreed, originally from Romania but brought into the UK in February 2014. The dog presented with conjunctivitis in March 2014 and then again 2 months later with additional ocular and nasal mucopurulent discharge. Bacterial cultures from the nasolacrimal duct were negative for bacterial growth. The case was referred in August 2014 for ophthalmic examination, which revealed abnormalities in both eyes, especially the left. They included mild palpebral conjunctival hyperaemia and marked follicular conjunctivitis, as well as a dorsonasal b...
