Endoscopic and surgical removal of oesophageal and gastric fishhook foreign bodies in 33 animals
ObjectivesTo describe the location, retrieval, frequency of surgery and complications associated with fishhook foreign bodies. Materials and MethodsRetrospective evaluation of the medical records of cats and dogs admitted between 2010 and 2016 after fishhook ingestion. ResultsA total of 33 cases (2 cats and 31 dogs) were included. The most common locations were the proximal oesophagus [12/33 (36%)] and stomach [11/33 (33%)]. Endoscopic retrieval was successful in 27 of 33 cases (82%); oesophageal perforation was the only recorded complication, occurring in six of 33 (18%) cases. Surgery was performed in six cases (18%), an...

Surgical treatment of pulmonic stenosis in dogs under cardiopulmonary bypass: outcome in nine dogs
ObjectivesTo describe the outcome for nine dogs with pulmonic stenosis treated by open patch grafting using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene under cardiopulmonary bypass. Materials and MethodsData were collected from the hospital records of all dogs that had undergone right ventricular outflow tract grafting with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene patch under cardiopulmonary bypass between 2006 and 2012 for the treatment of pulmonic stenosis. Echocardiographic images were reviewed and the pressure gradient across the right ventricular outflow tract re‐measured. Owners of dogs still alive at the time of writing were invi...

25 ‐Hydroxy vitamin D3 serum concentration in dogs with acute polyradiculoneuritis compared to matched controls
ObjectivesTo determine if dogs with acute polyradiculoneuritis have lower serum 25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 concentration compared to a control group of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. Materials and MethodsRetrospective case–control study of 21 dogs with acute canine polyradiculoneuritis and 21 control dogs with idiopathic epilepsy matched for year and season of presentation from a referral hospital population in the UK. Serum concentration of 25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 was compared between groups using Student's t‐test. ResultsDogs with acute canine polyradiculoneuritis had significantly lower (P=0·033) serum 25‐hydroxy vi...

Reliability of CT measurement of induced radioulnar step in dogs using a circle superimposition technique
ObjectivesTo evaluate the reliability of CT measurement of canine elbow axial radioulnar congruence using a duplicated circle superimposition technique. Materials and MethodsCT of six cadaveric canine elbows was performed following either: (1) placement of an external fixator on the radius with ostectomy and radial shortening of 1 to 5 mm; (2) radial lengthening of 1 to 5 mm using a radial lengthening system; or, (3) no axial length adjustment. Four observers, on two occasions, blinded to the amount of radial adjustment, placed a circle of best fit of the ulnar trochlear notch on a sagittal image that was duplicated an...

Association between environmental factors including second ‐hand smoke and primary lung cancer in dogs
ObjectivesTo estimate prevalence of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and other environmental toxins in dogs with primary lung tumours and to analyse association between exposure and lung tumour development. Materials and MethodsIn this case–control study, an owner survey was developed to collect data on patient characteristics, general health care and environmental exposures. Dogs diagnosed with primary lung carcinomas formed the Case group. Dogs diagnosed with mast cell tumours served as Control Group 1 and dogs diagnosed with neurologic disease served as Control Group 2. Associations between diagnosis of primary...
