4 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Acute effect of hydralazine administration on pulmonary artery hemodynamics in dogs with chronic heartworm disease.** Atkins, C. E.; Keene, B. W.; McGuirk, S.

*Abstract*:  In an effort to better understand the role of vasodilators in the management of pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic heartworm disease (HWD), pulmonary hemodynamic measurements were obtained from 7 experimentally infected, anesthetized dogs before and after hydralazine administration (mean dose, 1.96 mg/kg of body weight). Five dogs were maintained on room air, while 2 were maintained on 100% oxygen during the hydralazine study. The hemodynamic effect of hydralazine in dogs with HWD was evaluated, using heart rate, cardiac index, mean pulmonary artery pressure, mean arterial pressure, total pulmonary resistance, total systemic resistance, total systemic resistance/total pulmonary resistance, left ventricular dP/dt(max), left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and left and right ventricular double products ([mean arterial pressure X heart rate] and [mean pulmonary artery pressure X heart rate], respectively). Responders were defined as those in which total pulmonary resistance decreased greater than or equal to 20% without an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure and in which heart rate increase was less than or equal to 10%. Comparison was also made between maximal hemodynamic effect of hydralazine with that after 100% oxygen administration for 15 minutes to previously normoxemic dogs (n = 5). Significance was determined if P < 0.05, using the paired t-test.  Hydralazine induced significant reductions in mean pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures and total pulmonary resistance, with no significant change in heart rate, cardiac index, total systemic resistance, left ventricular dP/dt(max), left ventricular end diastolic pressure, or right and left ventricular double.  total pulmonary resistance did not allow differentiation of responders from nonresponders. However, pretreatment right ventricular end diastolic pressure was significantly less in responders than in nonresponders. Two dogs sustained hypotension after hydralazine administration, but no dogs had significant tachycardia. In dogs with experimentally induced HWD, treatment with hydralazine had significantly greater effect on cardiac index and mean pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures and resistance than did administration of 100% oxygen. These data indicate that further study of vasodilators for treatment of HWD-induced pulmonary hypertension may be warranted.

14 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Apparent dietary protein requirement of dogs with portosystemic shunt.** Laflamme, D. P.; Allen, S. W.; Huber, T. L. *Am-j-vet-res* v.54(5): p.719-723. (1993 May) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; vascular-diseases; protein-requirement; liver-function; nitrogen-balance; branched-chain-amino-acids; amino-acids; digestibility; protein-content; diet; protein-intake; aromatic-amino-acids

*Abstract*:  Current medical management of dogs with Portosystemic shunt (PSS) includes dietary protein restriction. After establishment of baseline values, 32 dogs underwent portosystemic anastomosis to induce PSS. They were assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments, and given 11 or 24% crude protein (CP); 20% of the protein was derived from branched chain or aromatic amino acids. The apparent digestibility of CP and of total digestible energy were not affected by PSS. The apparent digestibility of fat decreased from 92% to 85% in dogs with PSS (P < 0.01). Across all diets, the apparent dietary protein requirement (ADPR) was 2.07 g of CP/kg of body weight/d in clinically normal dogs and 2.11 g of CP/kg/d after PSS. Dietary amino acid composition had no effect on ADPR. The ADPR for dogs fed the 11% protein diets was 1.69 g of CP/kg/d in clinically normal dogs and 1.62 g of CP/kg/d after PSS, whereas the ADPR in dogs fed the 24% protein diets was 3.94 g of CP/kg/d before PSS and 3.31 g of CP/kg/d after PSS. Serum total protein, urea nitrogen, and albumin concentrations were lower in dogs with PSS fed the 11% protein diets, compared with those fed the 24% protein diets. We conclude that there is no difference in ADPR in dogs with PSS; however, the low protein intake of 1.62 g of CP/kg/d appeared inadequate to maintain normal protein stores. Dietary protein that provides at least 2.1 g of CP/kg/d is recommended for dogs with PSS.

15 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Arrhythmia prevalence during ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring of Beagles.** Ulloa, H. M.; Houston, B. J.; Altrogge, D. M. *Am-j-vet-res* v.56(3): p.275-281. (1995 Mar.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; arrhythmia; incidence; electrocardiography; heart-rate; variation; sex-differences; normal-values; electrocardiograms; ventricular-ectopic-complexes; bradycardia; sinus-pause

*Abstract*:  Ambulatory ECG, approximately 18 to 24 hours in duration, were obtained from 113 male and 115 female clinically normal, purpose-bred Beagles. The ECG analyzed semi-automatically (44 males, 46 females) were evaluated for heart rate, ventricular ectopic complexes (VEC), bradycardia, and sinus pause; those analyzed by visual inspection (69 males, 69 females) were evaluated for VEC, second-degree atrioventricular block, and supraventricular escape complexes. Mean heart rate was highest at times of maximal human contact (eg, feeding, cleaning) and lowest at periods of no human contact. Bradycardia was observed in 27 of 44 males (61.4%) and 18 of 46 females (39.1%). Sinus pause was identified in 33 of 44 males (75%) and 30 of 46 females (65.2%). Frequency of bradycardia and sinus pause tended to vary inversely with mean heart rate. Ventricular ectopic complexes were detected in 18.8 to 26.1% of the ECG analyzed by use of either method. Although VEC runs and bigeminy were observed, most VEC were single and occurred sporadically. Second-degree atrioventricular block was observed in 6 of 69 males (8.7%) and 14 of 69 females (20.3%); episodes often were single and occurred sporadically. Supraventricular escape complex occurred in 2 of 69 females (2.9%) Multiple types of abnormal complexes were observed in 2 of 69 males (2.9%) and 6 of 69 females (8.7%).  Among clinically normal Beagles, ambulatory electrocardiography detects a higher percentage of dogs with VEC, second-degree atrioventricular block, and supraventricular ectopic complexes than does resting electrocardiography.

30 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Cardiopulmonary effects of medetomidine in heartworm-infected and noninfected dogs.** Venugopalan, C. S.; Holmes, E. P.; Fucci, V.; Keefe, T. J.; Crawford, M. P. *Am-j-vet-res* v.55(8): p.1148-1152. (1994 Aug.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; medetomidine; drug-therapy; drug-effects; dirofilaria; heart-rate; respiration-rate; electrocardiograms; blood; oxygen; carbon- dioxide; ph; blood-pressure; bradycardia

*Abstract*:  Medetomidine, an investigational drug indicated for clinical use as a short-term chemical restraint in dogs, was evaluated for its cardiopulmonary effects, in 10 naturally heartworm-infected (HW+) and 10 noninfected (HW-) Beagles.  The drug was randomly administered IV (30 microgram/kg of body weight) and IM (40 microgram/kg) in single injections to all dogs.  Heart rate, respiratory rate, ECG, blood gas tensions, blood pH, central venous and arterial pressures were measured at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes. Medetomidine induced an immediate significant (P less than or equal to 0.001) increase in mean arterial blood pressure followed by decreased blood pressure that remained below normal throughout the study in both groups, irrespective of route of administration.  Medetomidine increased central venous pressure, over time, for both groups and both routes of administration.  Heart and respiratory rates were significantly (P less than or equal 0.001) decreased after medetomidine administration and remained reduced for the duration of the study in all dogs.  The ECG variables were not significantly different between groups or between routes of administration. The HW+ dogs tended to have higher mean PaO2 than did HW- dogs at several postinjection determination times, particularly when the drug was administered IM.  The PaO2 decreased during the first 30 minutes in both groups and tended to increase gradually thereafter.  The pH decreased over time for both groups and both routes.  A significant (P less than or equal to 0.05) decrease in pH was seen in the HW- dogs, compared with HW+ dogs at each measuring time for both routes.  The PaCO2 did not significantly change for.  irrespective of route.  Lowering of blood pressure and heart rate (after a transient blood pressure increase) was synchronized with sedation in these dogs.  The overall clinical response with regard to cardiopulmonary effects in HW+ dogs was similar to that in HW- dogs.

31 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Cardiorespiratory effects of glycopyrrolate-butorphanol-xylazine combination, with and without nasal administration of oxygen in dogs.** Jacobson, J. D.; McGrath, C. J.; Ko, C. H.; Smith, E. P. *Am-j-vet-res* v.55(6): p.835-841. (1994 June) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; drug-combinations; parasympatholytics; analgesics; xylazine; drug-effects; cardiovascular-system; oxygen

*Abstract*:  Cardiopulmonary consequences of IV administered glycopyrrolate (0.01 mg/kg of body weight), followed in 11 +/- 2 minutes by butorphanol (0.2 mg/ kg) and xylazine (0.5 mg/kg), were evaluated in 6 dogs, with and without nasal administration of oxygen (100 ml/kg/min).  Glycopyrrolate caused significant (P < 0.05) increases in heart rate and cardiac index and significant (P < 0.05) decreases in stroke index.  Subsequent administration of butorphanol and xylazine was associated with significant (P < 0.05) increases in systemic vascular resistance, mean arterial blood pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, PaCO2, venous admixture, oxygen extraction ratio, and hemoglobin concentration. It caused significant (P < 0.05) decreases in cardiac index, stroke index, breathing rate, minute volume index, oxygen delivery, and oxygen consumption. Mean arterial blood pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, tidal volume index, and minute volume index were significantly (P < 0.05) higher when dogs were breathing room air. The arterial and venous PO2, and PCO2, and venous oxygen content were significantly (P < 0.05) higher, and the arterial and venous pH, and oxygen consumption were significantly (P < 0.05) lower when oxygen was administered. Pulsus alternans and S-T segment depression were observed in dogs of both groups. Ventricular premature contractions were observed in 1 dog breathing room air. All dogs were intubated briefly 15 minutes after administration of butorphanol and xylazine. Time to first spontaneous movement was 45 minutes. All dogs remained in lateral recumbency without physical restraint for 60 minutes.

32 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Cardiorespiratory effects of intravenous bolus administration and infusion of ketamine-midazolam in dogs.** Jacobson, J. D.; Hartsfield, S. M. *Am-j-vet-res* v.54(10): p.1710-1714. (1993 Oct.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; ketamine; drug-combinations; benzodiazepines; drug-effects; heart-rate; blood-pressure; respiration; duration; adverse-effects

*Abstract*:  Twelve healthy dogs were used to determine the cardiorespiratory effects of IV administered ketamine (10 mg/kg of body weight) and midazolam (0.5 mg/ kg). Half the dogs received a ketamine-midazolam combination (K-M) as a bolus over 30 seconds and the other half received the K-M as an infusion over 15 minutes. Induction of anesthesia by use of K-M was good in all dogs.   Ketamine-midazolam combination as a bolus or infusion induced minimal cardiorespiratory effects,  except for significant (p < 0.05) increases in mean heart rate and rate-pressure product. The increase in heart rate was greater in dogs of the infusion group. Mild and transient respiratory depression was observed in dogs of both groups immediately after administration of K-M, but was greater in dogs of the bolus group than in dogs of the infusion group. Duration of action of K-M for chemical restraint was short. Salivation and defecation were observed in a few dogs. Extreme muscular tone developed in 1 dog after K-M bolus administration.

(1994) Includes references.*Descriptors:* canine-herpesvirus; feline-herpesvirus; herpesviridae; antigenic-determinants; monoclonal-antibodies; strain-differences; assays; antigens; virus-neutralization; neutralization-tests; phocid-herpesvirus

*Abstract*:  Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were generated against phocid herpesviruses (PhHV 2557/Han88 and 7848/Han90) isolated from European harbour seals (Phoca vitulina), and against strains of both felid (FHV strain FVR 605) and canid herpesviruses (CHV isolate 5105/Han89). MAbs were characterized with respect to certain biological properties and used to outline antigenicity profiles of isolates of PhHV (n = 8), FHV (n = 7) and CHV (n = 3) in enzyme immunoassays employing fixed infected cells. A close antigenic relationship between herpesviruses derived from pinnipeds and terrestrial carnivores became evident: The majority of the MAbs was directed against epitopes which were expressed by at least two of the viral species tested. A number of MAbs detected epitopes which were conserved between all isolates of PhHV, FHV and CHV. A few MAbs recognized type-specific B-cell epitopes and facilitated the identification of single viral species. Moreover, the PhHV isolate 7848/Han90 was antigenically distinguishable both from seven other phocid herpesvirus isolates and from FHV or CHV.  PhHV 7848/Han90 proved to be antigenically distinct from all other viruses tested when examined by cross neutralization utilizing various reconvalescent and hyperimmune sera. Although more data are needed to ensure that PhHV 7848/Han90 indeed is a new genuine seal herpesvirus, the preliminary clustering of two groups of phocid herpesvirus isolates, tentatively designated PhHV-1 (type isolate 2557/Han88) and PhHV-2 (represented by 7848/Han90), seems to be justified. By using selected MAbs an unambiguous identification and typing of herpesvirus isolates derived from marine mammals and terrestrial carnivores.

49 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-R312****Comparison of direct and indirect (oscillometric) measurements of arterial blood pressure in conscious dogs.** Bodey, A. R.; Michell, A. R.; Bovee, K.

*Abstract*:  Oscillometric measurements of arterial blood pressure were compared with direct measurements made on seven dogs fitted with catheters.  Tail and limb cuff sites were used while the dogs were gently restrained either standing or in lateral recumbency. The accuracy of the readings for the various cuff sites was compared with the direct (gold standard) readings. The accuracy of the indirect readings was improved by using mean values from a series of readings rather than individual values and when the dogs were in lateral recumbency rather than standing. The differences between the direct and indirect values were greatest with high pressures, and with systolic rather than diastolic values. In standing dogs, the proximal forelimb readings (when obtainable) correlated most closely with the direct readings. The tail cuff readings correlated significantly with the direct readings, though less closely. The tail cuff readings were the most easily recorded in the standing dogs. In the laterally recumbent dogs, the readings from all the cuff sites correlated closely with the direct values except for diastolic readings from the distal hindlimb.

*Abstract*:  The role of dietary fat and fiber in energy restriction for the management of obesity was examined. Twelve male castrated dogs were energy restricted for 7 weeks by feeding 60% of their calculated maintenance energy requirements (MER = 150 kcal/m2/d) for ideal body weight. Six dogs were restricted on a high-fat (35.4 kcal% from fat), low-fiber (2.9% dry matter basis [DMB]) diet while the other six dogs were restricted on a low-fat (24.5 kcal% from fat), high-fiber (27% DMB) diet Compared with the high-fat, low-fiber diet, energy restriction on the low-fat, high-fiber diet resulted in significantly greater decreases i        n body fat (1472 +/- 166 vs. 853 +/- 176 g; p < 0.05) and total serum cholesterol concentrations (108.7 +/- 11.3 vs. 51.5 +/- 13.3 mg/dL; p < 0.005). Reductions in body weight (2.86 +/- 0.3 vs. 2.14 +/- 0.3 kg; p < 0.09), and mean arterial blood pressure (17.4 +/- 6.1 vs. 6.7 +/- 2.9 mmHg; p < 0.12) were also greater on the low-fat diet; however, these diet effects did not reach statistical significance. These data suggest that the fat and fiber content of the diet during energy restriction are important factors in the management of obesity.

*Abstract*:  One intent of the proposed changes to USDA 9, CFR Part 3 was to give kennel dogs an opportunity for exercise and play (socialization).   Increasing cage size was proposed as a means to encourage exercise and play, thus enhancing the well-being of kennel dogs. Eleven-month- old, female, purpose-bred Beagles, housed four to a cage, were videotaped for 15 hours on 10 different dates,  resulting in five videotapes recorded for a smaller cage size and five videotapes recorded for a larger cage size.  A total of 40 dogs were videotaped.  For each videotape, aggression, play, and distance between dogs were recorded and analyzed.  There were no differences in aggression or play, but the dogs did put significantly more distance between themselves in the larger cage.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* glycogenolysis; gluconeogenesis; hydrocortisone; glucose; glycogen; lactic-acid; alanine; insulin; blood-plasma; liver; dogs; hypercortisolemia; in-vivo

*Abstract*:  This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of chronic physiological elevations in plasma cortisol on glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in conscious, overnight-fasted dogs. Experiments consisted of an 80-min tracer and dye equilibration period and a 40-min sampling period. Infusions of D-[3-3H]glucose, L-[U-14C]alanine, and indocyanine green dye were used to assess glucose production (Ra) and gluconeogenesis using tracer and arteriovenus (a-v) difference techniques. In the cortisol group, (n = 10), a continuous infusion of hydrocortisone (3.5 microgram.kg-1.min-1) was begun 5 days before the experiment and continued throughout the sampling period. In the saline group (n = 10), there was no infusion of cortisol. The fivefold elevation in plasma cortisol increased plasma insulin from 12 +/- 2 to 19 +/- 2 microunit/ml. Glucose Ra was elevated in the cortisol group (3.5 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.8 +/- 0.2 mg.kg-1.min-1) but net hepatic glucose output was markedly diminished (1.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 2.7 +/- 0.3 mg.kg-1. min-1). Gluconeogenic conversion of alanine to glucose was increased slightly by cortisol (0.60 +/- 0.13 to 0.99 +/- 0.12 micromol.kg-1.min-1), but the gluconeogenic efficiency of the liver was unchanged. Cortisol increased hepatic glycogen content evident at the end of the study greater than twofold (76.4 +/- 7.9 vs. 30.0 +/- 4.7 g/liver). These results suggest that cortisol 1) promotes glucose cycling through glycogen, 2) greatly inhibits nonhepatic glucose utilization, 3) increases hepatic gluconeogenesis in vivo primarily through enhanced substrate delivery to the liver, and 4) raises plasma insulin levels, which restrains intrahepatic gluconeogenesis.

114 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Effects of topically applied mitomycin-C on intraocular pressure, facility of outflow, and fibrosis after glaucoma filtration surgery in clinically normal dogs.** Glover, T.

(1995 July) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; glaucoma; surgery; mitomycin; topical-application; internal-pressure; fibroblasts; body-fluids; flow; drug-effects; aqueous-humor-outflow

*Abstract*:  The effects of mitomycin-C on intraocular pressure (IOP), facility of outflow (C), and Tenon's capsule fibrosis were studied over 60 days in 10 clinically normal dogs. A 1-piece, silicone glaucoma implant was surgically implanted into both eyes; the filtration site of one eye was treated with a single, 5-minute intraoperative application of mitomycin (0.5 mg/ml), and the fellow eye was treated in a similar manner with balanced salt solution. There were no significant differences in preoperative IOP or C-values between treatment groups. Mean IOP in eyes of both groups initially decreased from the preoperative value, but returned to the baseline value by day 21. Mean facility of aqueous outflow (C- value) increased in all eyes during the first 14 days (mitomycin-C-value = 2.26 +/- 0.72; control C-value = 2.38 +/- 0.81), then reached a plateau that was significantly higher than the baseline value in mitomycin (P = 0.039) and control (P = 0.041) eyes. Histologic evaluation revealed all implants surrounded by a connective tissue capsule composed of regular dense collagen and fibroblasts that was significantly (P = 0.003) thinner in the mitomycin-treated (scleral side = 167 +/- 62 micrometer; conjunctival side = 122 +/- 41 micrometer) than the control (scleral side = 261 +/- 92 micrometer; conjunctival side = 180 +/- 48 micrometer) group. There were, however, no significant differences in IOP or C-values between groups at any postoperative time interval. Results of this study indicate that intraoperative treatment with mitomycin suppresses, but does not prevent fibrosis around silicone filtering implants.

115 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Efficacy of lufenuron against developmental stages of fleas (Ctenocephalides felis felis) in dogs housed in simulated home environments.** Blagburn, B.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; chitin-synthesis-inhibitors; insect-control; ctenocephalides-felis; efficacy; reinfestation; simulation; adverse-effects

*Abstract*:  Twenty-four, adult, female Beagles were arranged by body weight from greatest to least and allocated to 2 groups of 12 dogs, using random numbers. Dogs were housed collectively in 2 adjacent metal buildings, each divided into 4 rooms measuring 2.1 X3.7 m. Each room was paneled and carpeted and had an access door to the outside with a connecting run that measured 2.1 X 9.1 m. Each run had a surface consisting of 5 cm of pea gravel overlayng 5 cm of sand, and was partially covered by an awning that provided shade at its proximal end. For placement in room/run units, dogs in each of the treated and control groups were allotted to 4 subgroups of 3 dogs each. Each subgroup of dogs was placed in a separate room/run unit. Units containing treatment or control subgroups were alternated to avoid placing identically treated subgroups adjacent to each other. Dogs of subgroups A, C, E, and G were treated with lufenuron monthly at a minimal target dosage of 10 mg/kg of body weight; those of subgroups B, D, F, and H were treated with excipient tablets. Dogs were treated on study days 7, 37, 68, and 98.  Each dog was infested with 100 newly emerged, unfed, insectary-reared adult Ctenocephalides felis on each of study days 0 and 2. Thereafter, infestations on all dogs were dependent on continued development of fleas either in the indoor or outdoor environment. Numbers of fleas on each of the treated and control dogs were determined, using a nondestructive counting technique on days 6, 14, 21, 28, 35, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, and 119. On study day 21 and on each collection day thereafter, numbers of adult fleas recovered from treated dogs were significantly (P < 0.05) fewer than those.  56. Efficacies exceeded 95% on all remaining study days except days 98 (94.4% and 119 (90%). Results of this study indicate that control of flea populations can be achieved in treated dogs approximately 4 to 5 weeks after initial treatment with lufenuron, and that continued monthly treatments will maintain effective control of flea infestations. Adverse reactions or side effects to treatment with lufenuron were not observed in dogs after treatment at any time throughout the study.

Paper presented at the "Waltham Symposium on the Nutrition of Companion Animals," September 23-25, 1993, Adelaide, South Australia.*Descriptors:* dogs; beagle; energy-requirements; female-animals; kennels; energy-intake; body-weight; equations

*Abstract*:  The energy requirements of 19 intact adult female beagles were determined over a 60-wk period. The initial age of the dogs averaged 6.5 y (range 0.8-13.4) and the initial weight averaged 11.0 kg (range 8.7-13.7). Dogs were housed in groups of four in heated indoor-outdoor kennel runs. Dogs were fed daily a commercial dry dog food that contained 13.8 kJ/g. The amount offered was adjusted to maintain body weight. Daily energy intake ranged from 2227 to 3667 kJ/dog, with an average of 3061 kJ/dog. When adjusted for differences in body weight, average daily energy intake ranged from 482.6 to 803.1 kJ/kg body weight(0.67) with a mean of 617.5 kJ/kg (0.67). Energy intake (kJ/kg body weight (0.67)) declined with age and could be described by the nonlinear equation Y = 753 X age(-0.1321); r = -0.802. When these data are combined with an earlier study, the energy intake (kJ/kg body weight(0.67)) of this group of 36 dogs could be described by the equation Y = 767 X age(-0.408); r = - 0.777. These data demonstrate that canine energy requirements decline with age and that the National Research Council recommendations of 552 kJ/kg body weight(0.75) overestimates the requirements of adult dogs 3 y of age and older.

120 **NAL Call No.:  410.9-P94****Enrichment in puppyhood and its effects on later behavior of dogs.** Hubrecht, R. C. *Lab-anim-sci* v.45(1): p.70-75. (1995 Feb.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* puppies; enrichment; dogs; animal-behavior; toys; socialization; animal-welfare

*Abstract*:  Enrichment of the captive environment is becoming more common, but little is known about the consequences of early enrichment on later development. Sixty pups from the breeding colony at Pfizer UK were assigned either to a control group or to one of two groups which received enrichment between the ages of 5 to 14 weeks: 1) a group receiving extra human socialization or 2) a group provided with chewable items suspended in the pen and a length of plastic pipe within the pen. The dogs' behavior was observed after two changes in husbandry: at 15 weeks of age after being placed in same-sex groups of five and after removal from these groups to pair housing in a laboratory block. Rawhide was the most popular of the tested items. The litters with toys spent an average 64% of their time interacting with them, indicating that, given the choice, pups will make extensive use of such items. Enrichment did not have any measurable effect on the development of stereotypes, but 6 to 11 months after enrichment, dogs given increased human socialization were slightly more approachable than dogs from the other groups. Male dogs from this group spent 37% more time than did controls at the front of the pen, sitting and monitoring the room, a behavior that could be interpreted as an attempt to seek human contact. Early enrichment is easy to achieve and can improve the quality of life for pups.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; greyhounds; exercise; hematology; electrolytes; blood-plasma; blood-protein; osmotic-pressure; hematocrit; blood-volume; spleen; acid-base-equilibrium; animal-behavior; prerace-excitement

*Abstract*:  Arterial blood samples were obtained at rest, just before, and 5 minutes after a 704-m race, to quantify changes in hematologic variables, plasma electrolyte and protein concentrations, osmolality, and acid/base variables. Changes in plasma volume were estimated from the change in plasma protein concentration. Immediately prior to the race, plasma volume decreased by 10% from rest and total circulating RBC volume increased by 60%, attributable to increased RBC number rather than size. Increases in blood volume (VB) by 24% and PCV by 29% also were detected before the race. Five minutes after the race, plasma volume was 21% below the resting value and total circulating RBC volume had increased 73% above the resting value, resulting in a 40% increase in PCV. Contraction of the spleen appeared responsible for increased PCV and VB before the race and maintenance of VB after the race. Plasma chloride concentration was the same before and after the race; the chloride content of the plasma decreased by the same fraction (22%) as did the plasma volume, indicating Cl- loss from the plasma. Plasma Na+ content decreased by a smaller fraction (13%), causing Na+ concentration to increase from 151 mEq/L at rest to 167 mEq/L after the race.  Assuming that Na+ concentration was the same throughout the extracellular fluid, H20 likely moved into the intracellular compartment. As a consequence of these changes, the inorganic strong ion difference in plasma increased by about 16 mEq/L, tending to minimize the acid/base disturbance induced by the 33 mEq/L increase in lactate concentration. Results indicated that the physiologic changes taking effect during strenuous sprint exercise in Greyhounds enhance blood volume and.

(1995 Dec.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* guard-dogs; animal-behavior; sleep; work; territoriality; stimuli; responses

*Abstract*:  Sleep-wake cycles and the responses to naturally occurring stimuli were studied in 17 guard dogs; detailed video recordings were made of ten of these dogs. The guard dogs came from two different backgrounds: either they lived permanently on-site, or they were commercially owned and regularly brought onto premises, removed before the workers started, and rested off-site at kennels. These two groups were studied to discover any difference in sleep-wake patterns, territoriality and responses to intruders. During 8 h recordings the guard dogs were inactive for 84 +/- 17% (mean +/- standard deviation, SD) of the time at night, and 70 +/- 23% of the time during the day. The dogs had 2.7 +/- 2.9 sessions of activity h-1 at night, which was significantly less than during the day when there were 4.2 +/- 2.7 sessions h-1 (P<0.001). The guard dogs barked five times more often during the day (1.06 +/- 1.6 barks h-1) than at night (0.2 +/- 0.4 barks h-1), (P<0.001). Of these barking sessions 70% were apparently stimulated by human activity, 29% by activity of other dogs and 1% were of indefinite origin. During the day guard dogs permanently on-site had far more sessions of activity h-1 (5.8 +/- 2.2) than commercial guard dogs which were resting off-site (2.1 +/- 0.6) (P < 0.025). However, at night, there was no significant difference between the sleep-wake cycles and activity levels of the two groups.  When the dogs were guarding premises after business hours, most (14/17) rested close (< 15 m) to their front fences yet they were usually out of the obvious view of the observer driving past the guard sites. All but one dog showed aggression towards passers-by, and especially towards other dogs. However, when 14 dogs were.  hidden. For most of the time spent resting 16 of the 17 dogs lay upon available soft materials such as car seats, cloth or sand. All the dogs that were off-site at kennels during the day (4/4) used resting-sites at night within 15 m of their pick-up and delivery points. Of the dogs remaining permanently on-site, four rested at sites provided by their owners and the other nine rested close to where their owners were active during business hours. In order to increase their deterrent value, guard dogs should be provided with suitable housing or materials for resting sites in strategic areas so that they may see and be seen by passers-by.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* proteolysis; leucine; exercise; intestines; liver; nutrient-uptake; nutrient-transport; kinetics; dogs; interorgan-transfer; splanchnic-response; whole-body-response

*Abstract*:  Arteriovenous difference and tracer dilution techniques were utilized to determine the effect of exercise on whole body, gut, liver, and splanchnic leucine kinetics. Five postabsorptive dogs were infused with [1-13C]leucine and studied during rest, 90 min of moderate-intensity treadmill exercise (1st 45 min, early; last 45 min, late exercise), and 90 min of recovery. The whole body leucine rate of appearance (Ra; micromole min-1 kg-1) increased from rest (3.33 +/- 0.11) during early (3.68 +/- 0.14) and late (4.24 +/- 0.27, P < 0.05) exercise and was 3.41 +/- 0.19 during recovery. Gut Ra increased from rest (0.64 +/- 0.08) during early (0.92 +/- 0.12) and late (1.30 +/- 0.20, P < 0.05) exercise and was 0.77 +/- 0.16 during recovery. Liver leucine Ra did not significantly change (P > 0.05). The whole body leucine rate of disappearance (Rd) paralleled whole body leucine Ra throughout. Leucine Rd across the gut, liver, and splanchnic bed, however, did not significantly change (P > 0.05), indicating an increase in leucine uptake outside of these regions. Because active skeletal muscle is likely the principal consumer of these amino acids, the data suggest that gut protein-derived amino acids are utilized for the attenuation of net muscle protein catabolism during and immediately following exercise.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; renal-function; fluid-therapy; dehydration-physiological; glomerular-filtration-rate; water-metabolism; urine; creatinine; measurement; euhydration; renal-plasma-flow

*Abstract*:  Clinically normal dogs were evaluated in states of dehydration, euhydration, and after fluid administration to determine effects of hydration state on renal clearance values. Endogenous creatinine, exogenous creatinine, and [(14)C]inulin clearances, were determined to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR); in some experiments p-aminohippurate clearance was determined to measure renal plasma flow.  Dehydration caused significant (P < 0.05) decrease in clearance values, compared with euhydration, and clearance values during euhydration were significantly (P < 0.05) less than values obtained after a single gavage with water (30 ml/kg of body weight). Sustained administration of 3 fluid regimens was evaluated for effects on clearance values (treatment A = 30 ml of lactated Ringer's solution/kg/h; treatment B = 30 ml of water/kg by gavage hourly; treatment C = 10 ml of glucose:lactated Ringer's solution/ kg/h). All regimens of fluid therapy caused significant P < 0.05), progressive increases in GFR, but treatment C resulted in the most stable GFR values. Increases in clearance values were associated with positive fluid balance; the rate of fluid administration was greater than the rate of urine formation. Data from 285 GFR  determinations on 85 dogs were evaluated retrospectively. For each determination, three 20-minute urine collections were made beginning 40 minutes after 30 mi of water/kg was given by gavage.  Values between collections were significantly (P < 0.05) different, but varied by < 3%.  Comparison.  (R(2) = 0.82), but mean clearance values were markedly different (mean +/- SEM, 28.70 +/- 0.01 and 37.07 +/- 1.29 ml/min, respectively).  Exogenous creatinine clearance and [(14)C]inulin clearance were highly correlated (R(2) = 0.95), and mean values were 40.54 +/- 0.70 and 41.02 +/- 0.70 ml/min respectively. We conclude that: state of hydration has a marked effect on GFR; rate of fluid administration that exceeds rate of urine production results in progressive increases in GFR; a single water gavage of 30 ml/kg gives stable GFR values for three 20- minute collection periods, may avoid subclinical states of dehydration, and facilitates  accurate urine collections; and endogenous creatinine clearance, as conducted in this study, does not accurately measure GFR.

*Abstract*:  The inheritance and breeding results of hairless descendants of Mexican hairless dogs (MHDs) were investigated. When the male hairless dogs were bred to female beagles, the birth ratio of hairless and haired dogs was 1:1. Mating between MHDs gave both hairless and haired pups. The results indicated that an autosomal dominant monogenic gene was responsible for their hairless characteristics. We propose the symbol Hm for this gene (hairless, Mexican type). The survival rate of hairless pups was markedly lower than that of haired ones. It was elevated to 50-90% by warming their cages to a minimum of 25 degrees C.

*Abstract*:  Two groups of Alaskan Huskies were fed either a high fat (HFD) or a high carbohydrate diet 4 wk before and during an 8-wk conditioning program. Aerobic bouts of exercise were performed before and after conditioning. Blood samples taken before and after each exercise test were analyzed for serum concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TG), vitamin E, glucose and serum lipase activity. The postexercise FFA and TG values were greater in the HFD group both before and after training. There were no significant differences in plasma vitamin E or in serum lipase activity between diet groups. It is concluded that after an adequate period of adaptation, prolonged feeding of a HFD safely enhances the availability of local and peripheral lipid stores during exercise. Although the elevated levels of FFA and TG associated with HFD suggest enhanced potential for performance, further study of more prolonged and possibly more intense exercise is necessary to confirm this theory.

*Abstract*:  A former secondary lead smelter was in operation in Granite City, Ill, until the early 1980s. As a result, the surrounding area is heavily contaminated with lead. Soil concentrations as high as 5,000 ppm have been measured in prior studies. Because of growing concerns about health defects associated with low levels of lead exposure in human beings, a major study has been conducted on people living in the area. The study reported here was a corollary to the human exposure study. Lead concentration was determined in 84 dogs and 26 cats in the town and ranged between < 5 and 28 microgram/dl. None of the dogs had clinical signs of lead poisoning. The CBC and serum biochemical values did not indicate many significant differences between dogs with a high (larger than or equal to 10 microgram/dl) or low blood lead concentration (BLC). Hemoglobin concentrations were lower, and WBC counts were higher in dogs and cats with higher BLC, but they were still within reference ranges. Free erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentration was determined. Normal values appeared to be similar for dogs and cats. Only animals with BLC larger than or equal to 20 microgram/dl were found to have somewhat increased concentration of free erythrocyte protoporphyrin. Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity was measured and found to be negatively correlated with BLC. The relation was strong, even at low BLC (5 to 10 microgram/dl) in both species. Age or sex difference was not observed. Therefore, biological changes associated with low BLC were limited to BLC in the 10- to 30-microgram/dl range.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; mechanical-properties; humerus; femur; radius; tibia; torsion; carniocaudal-bending-stiffness; mediolateral-bending-stiffness; axial-compressive-stiffness; torsional-stiffness

*Abstract*:  Basic research in canine mechanics must be performed to better understand the forces and moments the appendicular skeleton must withstand.  This type of research may allow surgeons to make substantial advances in total joint replacement and fracture fixation design and may enhance our understanding of bone remodeling and fracture occurrence in relation to exercise and trauma.  In our study, craniocaudal bending stiffness, mediolateral bending stiffness, axial compressive stiffness, and torsional stiffness of the humerus, femur, radius, and tibia of dogs was determined, using nondestructive bending, compression, and torsional tests.  Entire diaphyseal and middiaphyseal properties of these long bones were evaluated. Bones also were tested to failure in torsion to quantify the failure properties of these long bones.  Left to right variability was examined to validate the use of contralateral limbs as the control condition for experimental studies. There were no significant right to left differences in entire diaphyseal mechanical properties for any of the long bones, except for compressive stiffness of femurs.   Homotypic differences in entire diaphyseal mechanical properties, if present, ranged from 8.0 to 35% for the 4 long bones (power = 0.8).  For middiaphyseal mechanical properties, there were no significant right to left differences in the 4 long bones, except for craniocaudal bending stiffness of tibias.  The homotypic differences in middiaphyseal mechanical properties, if present, ranged from 7.2 to 62% for the 4 long bones (power = 0.8). In aU bones and loading modes, middiaphyseal stiffness was greater than entire diaphyseal stiffness (P < 0.0001).  In torsional energy to failure and maximal.  compression, there were no entire diaphyseal or middiaphyseal mechanical property differences among the 4 bones.  In craniocaudal bending humeruses were significantly (P < 0.05) more stiff than the other 3 bones in the entire diaphysis, and were more stiff than radiuses and tibias in the middiaphysis.  In mediolateral and craniolateral bending and in torsion, radiuses were less stiff, in the entire diaphysis and in the middiaphysis, than were the other 3 bones (P < 0.05).  In torsion, there were no significant differences in energy to failure or in maximal displacement at failure among the 4 bones, either in the entire diaphysis or middiaphysis.

205 **NAL Call No.:  QL55.A1L3****Medetomidine, an alpha 2-agonist, alleviates post-thoracotomy pain in dogs.** Vainio, O.; Ojala, M. *Lab-anim* v.28(4): p.369-375. (1994 Oct.)

*Abstract*:  Twelve laboratory beagles underwent a routine left thoracotomy to insert permanent instrumentation. Every second dog was given lO microgram/kg of medetomidine, an alpha2-agonist sedative. The rest of the animals were treated with 20 microgram/kg of buprenorphine, an opioid agonist-antagonist, which is regularly used to treat postoperative pain in laboratory animals. The drugs were given at the end of operation (O) and 4, 8, 20, and 24h postoperatively. Blood samples for catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline and blood gases (pCO2 and PO2) and pH were drawn immediately before any drug administration, and 30 min later. At the same time points, the pain level was subjectively evaluated using a pain score, and heart rate and rectal temperature were measured. Adrenaline and noradrenaline concentrations were lower in the medetomidine group than in the buprenorphine group. Accordingly, it was concluded that medetomidine had better analgesic effect than buprenorphine in the treated animals. This result was supported by subjective evaluation of the severity of pain, even though subjective evaluation is not considered very reliable in the present kind of open studies. PO2 was lower in the buprenorphine group than in the medetomidine group after the first injection of the analgesics. PCO2 and pH were similar in both of the groups. Medetomidine decreased heart rate after every injection, this fall and subsequent rise might be avoided by a lower dose regime. Buprenorphine did not effect heart rate. Rectal temperature did not differ in either group. It was concluded that medetomidine, and other alpha2-agonists, possess some potential in postoperative pain alleviation.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; biopsy; muscles; muscle-fibers; glycogen; specimens; size; quality; complications; safety; semitendinosus-muscle

*Abstract*:  The size and quality of muscle specimens obtained by use of a percutaneous biopsy technique were studied. All biopsies were performed under local anesthesia, using an 11-gauge biopsy needle. The mean +/- SEM size of specimens obtained from 128 biopsies of the semitendinosus muscles of 16 Alaskan Huskies was 23.8 +/- 4.4 mg. All biopsy specimens were of sufficient quality to permit histochemical differentiation of the fiber types by use of myosin ATPase staining. An additional 8 biopsy specimens were obtained from 1 dog and analyzed for muscle glycogen content. These specimens contained 50.6 +/- 7.2 mmol of glucose/kg of muscle wet weight. This modified biopsy procedure was free of notable complications, and repeatable use produced specimens of adequate size and quality for histologic and biochemical analysis. It is concluded that this procedure is a safe and reliable alternative to open biopsy for diagnosis and management of neuromuscular, metabolic, and nutritional myopathies.

*Abstract*:  Pharmaceutical agents are often given inappropriate precedence in the treatment of gastrointestinal tract diseases. Nutrients have marked influences on the gastrointestinal tract and manipulation of the diet provides clinicians with a powerful therapeutic strategy to be used alone or concurrently with drug therapy. During acute gastroenteritis a change from the animal's regular food to a diet containing novel protein sources minimizes the likelihood of acquired food allergies to the staple protein components of the diet. "Feeding through" diarrhea, a method used in human infants, has limited applicability in dogs and cats. The ideal diet for chronic small bowel-type diarrhea is highly digestible, gluten-free, hypoallergenic, isosmolar, low in fat and low in lactose. Dietary protein requirements increase in protein-losing enteropathy. Dietary fat is kept to a minimum during gastrointestinal dysfunction because malabsorbed fatty acids and bile acids cause secretory diarrhea. In diseases of the small bowel, it is traditional to use low fiber diets. This recommendation needs revision because the binding and gelling properties of fiber are of potential benefit in the treatment of small bowel diarrhea. High fiber diets are useful in most large bowel diseases. The specific fiber type used markedly influences the clinical result.

*Abstract*:  In response to criticisms raised regarding a case-control study of canine malignant lymphoma, the results of several ancillary analyses are reported. The case-control study demonstrated a significant association between risk for canine malignant lymphoma and the opportunity for exposure to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides. It is demonstrated that risk estimates do not vary by type of control group (i.e., tumor control or nontumor control group), by method of response (i.e., self-administered or telephone interview), or by geographic area. Questions related to the potential for referral bias, supposed inconsistencies in subject responses regarding frequency of herbicide use, and ambiguities regarding exposure classification are also examined.

*Abstract*:  Four mathematical approaches are proposed to determine optimal ranges of nutrients for specified purposes. For exercise, the diet must provide optimal mixtures of fuels, also optimal amounts of nutrients conducive to a sound structure, a desired power/weight ratio, a water- electrolyte system that resists dehydration and buffers hydrogen ions, a tolerance to the cumulative stress of repetitive competition and tractable attitude. The nutritional strategy of carbohydrate loading risks a variety of abnormalities in dog and horses. An alternative strategy of fat adaptation (the combination of fat feeding and training) was found to improve aerobic performance in dogs and horses and to spare glycogen utilization and reduce lactate accumulation. Surprisingly, improved anaerobic performance has also been confirmed in fat-adapted horses that have been sprint trained. Fat adaptation increased the blood lactate responses to incremental tests and repeated sprints. Blood lactate accumulation during repeated sprints was affected synergistically by the combination of fat adaptation and sodium bicarbonate supplementation.  Fat adaptation in horses appears to facilitate metabolic regulation to achieve power needs, with glycolysis decreasing during aerobic work but in creasing during anaerobic work and with blood lactate changes following accordingly. Interactions between fat adaptation and dietary cation- anion balance need further investigation.

*Abstract*:  A specially prepared dog model of myocardial infarction was used to test the efficacy of the long-chain, polyunsaturated fish oil omega3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6 n-3) acids to prevent ischemia-induced malignant cardiac arrhythmias. The dogs had sustained a prior experimental myocardial infarction from ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and a hydraulic cuff was implanted around the left circumflex artery at that operation. After recovery from that procedure the animals were tested during a treadmill exercise test. With compression of the left circumflex artery sensitive animals will predictably develop ventricular fibrillation (VF). In such prepared dogs an emulsion of fish oil fatty acids was infused i.v. over a 50- to 60-min period just before the exercise-plus-ischemia test, and the effect on development of VF was recorded. The infusion was 100 ml of a 10% (vol/vol) emulsion of a fish oil concentrate containing 70% omega 3 fatty acids with free eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid composing 33.9% and 25.0% of that total, respectively.  Alternatively, some animals similarly received an emulsion containing 5 ml of the free fatty acid concentrate plus 5 ml of a triacylglyerol concentrate containing 65% omega 3 fatty acids with eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid composing 34.0% and 23.6% of that total, respectively. In seven of eight animals the infusion of the fish oil emulsion completely prevented the acute occurrence of VF in the susceptible animals (P < 0.005). In five of five of these animals the subsequent exercise-plus-ischemia test after a similar infusion of an emulsion in which soy bean oil.  3 fatty acids against exercise and ischemia-induced malignant arrhythmias are considered.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; dirofilaria-immitis; aminoacyltransferases; purification; immunological-techniques; antibodies; chemical-precipitation; enzyme- activity; heat-stability; substrates; protein-cross-linking; immunoaffinity-chromatography

*Abstract*:  Transglutaminase-catalyzed reactions have been implicated to play a role in growth and development of filarial nematodes and thus could serve as target for the development of an effective chemotherapeutic agent. Characterization of this enzyme from different nematodes will be useful in better designs of enzyme-specific inhibitors. A simple three-step purification protocol was adopted to purify transglutaminase from filarial nematode Dirofilaria immitis. The three steps used were thermoprecipitation, ammonium sulfate precipitation and immunoaffinity chromatography. The antibody used for immunoaffinity chromatography was raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N- terminal sequence of a recently purified transglutaminase from Brugia malayi. About 900-fold purification was achieved in a single immunoaffinity chromatography step that yielded a 56-kDa protein as the major band in denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein eluted at this step was enzymatically active and had a specific activity of 2 U/mg protein. Several physicochemical properties such as thermostability, substrate specificity, effect of various reagents and inhibitors suggested that this enzyme is very similar to the transglutaminase purified from B. malayi, but was quite distinct from the mammalian transglutaminases. The cumulative 10,000-fold purification obtained by the current protocol suggested that the procedure could be used for the purification of transglutaminases in lower and related organisms where these vital enzymes are present in extremely low amounts (210).

P. *Am-j-physiol* v.265(1,pt.1): p.E51-E60. (1993 July) Includes references.*Descriptors:* gluconeogenesis; alanine; lactic-acid; glycerol; insulin; diabetes; pancreatectomy; liver; exercise; liver; intestines; dogs; insulin-deficiency

*Abstract*:  To assess the mechanism of the accelerated gluconeogenesis in the insulin-deficient state, chronically catheterized (carotid artery, portal vein, hepatic vein, vena cava) normal (C; n = 9) and depancreatized (PX; n = 7) dogs were studied during rest (40 min) and moderate exercise (150 min). Tracers [14C]alanine, [3H]glucose and dye were infused to measure determinants of gluconeogenesis in the gut and liver. Arterial levels, net gut output, hepatic load, and net hepatic uptake of alanine were similar in C and PX at rest. During exercise, alanine levels fell in C but rose approximately 100% in PX. Exercise did not affect gut output or liver uptake of alanine in C but increased these variables by approximately 50 and 100% in PX due to an increase in hepatic alanine load. Arterial lactate was similar at rest in C and PX but rose fourfold more in PX with exercise. Net gut lactate output was fivefold greater in PX during rest and exercise. Net hepatic lactate uptake was present in PX at rest, whereas net output was evident in C. In response to exercise, hepatic lactate uptake was increased further in PX due to a rise in hepatic lactate load. Net hepatic lactate uptake was not evident until the end of exercise in C. Net hepatic glycerol uptake was elevated at rest in PX and during the initial 60 min of exercise due to an elevated hepatic load. In contrast to the high rates of gut lactate and alanine output in PX, gut glycerol output was not present. Gluconeogenesis from lactate and alanine was 5- to 10-fold higher in PX than C during rest and exercise.  At rest, this resulted, in part, from a twofold greater intrahepatic gluconeogenic efficiency. During exercise, the greater conversion occurred even though efficiency was not consistently greater. In summary, gluconeogenesis from.  extraction, increased hepatic precursor loads, and a greater gluconeogenic efficiency; 2) is accelerated further by exercise due to added increments in hepatic precursor loads; and 3) is exaggerated partly because of a greater net gut alanine and lactate output.

268 **NAL Call No.:  RA565.A1E5****Relationship between soil lead, dust lead, and blood lead concentrations in pets and their owners: evaluation of soil lead threshold values.** Berny, P.

*Abstract*:  This paper reports the results of a study conducted in Granite City, Illinois during the months of August through October 1991. The study involved a subpopulation of 77 households having 106 dogs and cats which was a corollary to a major study conducted in humans by the Illinois Department of Public Health to evaluate lead exposure. A secondary lead smelter had been in operation in this town for almost 80 years and was shut down in 1982. Important soil contamination with lead was reported and this paper presents data regarding levels of soil and dust lead and associated blood lead concentrations in animals and their owners in a total of 77 households. Overall, blood lead concentrations (BLC) were low (0-13 microgram/dl in the animal owners; 0-28 microgram/dl in pets). There was no significant relationship between soil or dust lead and BLC in humans; however, the relationship was significant in animals. Odds ratios were computed to determine whether 500 or 1000 ppm lead in environmental samples was associated with increased risk of having a high BLC. We could not find any increased risk in humans, while the risk did increase in animals. It is concluded that animals are more at risk than their owners of having a high BLC when exposed to the same contaminated environment and can be used to monitor the bioavailability of lead.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; larynx; paralysis; hereditary-diseases; etiology; animal-anatomy; physiological-functions; symptoms; diagnosis; medical- treatment; surgery; literature-reviews; acquired-laryngeal-paralysis

*Abstract*:  Laryngeal paralysis is now a frequently recognized disorder, particularly in older dogs of certain breeds such as the Labrador retriever, Afghan Hound and Irish Setter. The presenting signs may consist of exercise intolerance, inspiratory stridor, inspiratory dyspnoea, gagging, coughing and dysphonia. Two forms of laryngeal paralysis exist, hereditary and acquired. The hereditary form is found in young dogs and transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene. At present little is known about the aetiology of acquired laryngeal paralysis and therefore treatment is directed at relieving the laryngeal obstruction. Recent reports indicate that arytenoid lateralization achieves the best results as a method of surgical correction.

274 **NAL Call No.:  41.8-Am3A****Right atrial bypass model in the dog.** Breen, P. H.; Isserles, S. A. *Am-j-vet-res* v.56(2): p.208-214. (1995 Feb.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; heart; animal-models; cardiac-output; gas-exchange; cannulation; pumps

*Abstract*:  In gas exchange studies addressing the storage and transport of CO2 in dogs, a model in which cardiac output (QT) can be precisely controlled and measured would be beneficial. We identified problems with described extracorporeal circuits and implemented right atrial bypass (RAB) in dogs. In 6 anesthetized (chloralose and urethane), heparinized dogs (mean +/- SD, 24 +/- 4 kg) with open thorax, cannulas were inserted in both vena cavas to drain venous blood return to a reservoir (anaerobic bag or bubble oxygenator). A roller pump then drove blood through a heat exchanger back to the right atrial appendage. After 1.8 +/- 1.4 hour of RAB, physiologic variables remained within reference limits for dogs (QT, 1.5 +/- 0.3 L/min; blood pressure, 92 +/- 25 mm of Hg; arterial P(CO2), 35 +/- 4 mm of Hg; P(O2), 513 +/- 39 mm of Hg; pH, 7.39 +/- 0.08; and tissue CO2 production, 126 +/- 56 ml/min). To permit study of gas exchange, venous return (and thus, QT) and venous P(CO2), and P(O2) could be accurately regulated and measured over a wide range. Maintenance of native pulsatile lung perfusion and cardiogenic oscillations minimizes mismatching of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and facilitates studies addressing pulmonary gas exchange. This RAB model is designed so that investigators can establish the preparation in a few hours.

*Abstract*:  The main objective of the study reported here was to determine whether signs typical of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) are alleviated when affected dogs are fed a diet with low fat content, compared with feeding ordinary commercial dog food or food prepared by the owner. The most cost-effective amount of enzyme supplement also was estimated. The study consisted of 6 test periods. Duration of the first and third periods was 4 weeks, and that of the others was 2 weeks. During the first 2 periods, the dogs were fed their original diet. The amount of enzyme supplement was reduced by half between the first and the second period. During the last 4 periods, the dogs were fed only the low-fat diet, and amount of the enzyme supplement was reduced stepwise. During the entire study, owners were asked to assess daily the severity of 9 signs typical of EPI. A new index was established by adding the daily scores of each individual EPI sign. This index was designated the EPI index and was used as a measure of the general well-being of the dog. When the mean EPI indexes of the original diet periods were compared with those of the corresponding low-fat diet periods, there were no statistically significant differences by use of Turkeys test or the paired t-test.  There was considerable variability between dogs, however. The fat content of the original diet did not correlate with the difference in EPI signs when the dogs were fed the low-fat diet. According to our study, feeding a low-fat diet to dogs with EPI did not significantly alleviate clinical signs of the disease. Decreasing the enzyme supplementation by 50% of the recommended of dose did not significantly increase severity of the cumulative EPI.  increased significantly (P < 0.05) The cost of the low-fat diet, compared with that of the original diet, was high.

(1993 Feb.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* sheep; feeding-preferences; grazing-behavior; repellents; feces; dog-feces; predators; odors

*Abstract*:  The study of food repulsion in ungulates is of practical importance for controlling browsing damage to forest trees and agricultural crops.  Animals were individually presented with two troughs, each containing 30 g of maize, one treated with a chemical product, and the other a control.  The odor of domestic dog feces appeared to be highly repulsive, as none of the treated food was eaten, whereas 3 g +/- 9 and 6 g +/- 10 were eaten, respectively, of food treated with fetal fluids from sheep and odor of pig feces.  Synthetic odors of lion feces and a commercial deer repellent were less efficient as repellents with 11 g +/- 13 and 14 g +/- 15 of food eaten, respectively.  Habituation to three of the repellents was tested for a minimum of seven successive days.  With dog feces, no habituation to the odor was observed.  On the contrary, significant habituation (P < 0.05) was observed as early as the third trial for sheep fetal fluids and the fourth trial for the commercial repellent.  To test for the effects of social facilitation, groups of four sheep including no, one, or two anosmic animals were presented  with food treated with the odor of dog feces.  No social facilitation was observed as none of the intact sheep ate any of the food, although the anosmic animals actively ate it throughout the test. In individual food choice tests, the odor of dog feces appeared to be an especially.  habituation nor social facilitation could be observed.

*Abstract*:  We previously reported that a recombinant genome derived from the autonomous rodent parvovirus LuIII could be pseudotyped with capsids of the closely related viruses, H1 and minute virus of mice. To determine whether this was also possible with less related viruses, LuIII recombinant genomes containing a luciferase reporter were cotransfected into permissive cells together with plasmids expressing the capsid proteins of either feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) or its host range variant, canine parvovirus (CPV). We observed efficient packaging of the recombinant DNA into transducing virions that displayed the cell tropism of the virus that supplied the capsid. Thus, the FPV- and CPV- pseudotyped virions were able to transduce a feline cell line but they showed no transducing activity for the human NB324K line, which is permissive for LuIII. The transducing activity of the pseudotyped viruses was not inhibited by neuraminidase treatment of the permissive recipient cells, in contrast to that of virions packaged using LuIII capsid proteins. Furthermore, canine A72 cells (permissive for CPV but not FPV) were efficiently transduced by CPV-packaged but not by FPV-packaged LuIII recombinant genomes. Pseudotyped recombinants will be useful for elucidating parvovirus host range determinants since they enable the packaged DNA and each of the capsid proteins to be supplied independently. They should also facilitate control over the targeting of parvovirus vectors for gene transfer.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; atopy; igg; ige; blood-serum; allergens; correlation; igg1; igg2; igg3; igg4

*Abstract*:  Levels of allergen-specific IgE and IgG antibodies were determined in serum samples from 60 atopic and 11 normal dogs by means of commercially available ELISA test kits and a panel of 33 allergens. In the atopic population, IgE antibodies were most commonly identified with a specificity for Dermatophagoides farinae (78.3 per cent of affected dogs), D pteronyssinus (61.6 per cent), mould mix (25 per cent) and house dust (19 per cent), whereas the most frequently detected IgG antibodies had a specificity for D farinae (38.3 per cent). D pteronyssinus (33.3 per cent), mould mix (33.3 per cent), insect mix (16.6 per cent) and meadow fescue (16.6 per cent). The IgG subclass profile of allergen- specific antibodies was determined for five representative allergens from the panel. The IgG response to D farinae and D pteronyssinus was dominated by IgG4 antibodies, although lower levels of IgG2, and IgG3 and IgG1 D pteronyssinus antibodies were also detected. The IgG response to Timothy grass was predominantly within the IgG1 and IgG4 subclasses. IgG subclass selection in the response to mould mix and insect mix was broader, with relatively low level reactions from all four subclasses. The data suggest a degree of IgG subclass restriction in the humoral immune response of canine atopy which may be dependent upon the nature of the allergen.

*Abstract*:  Adult cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche), survive and reproduce when fed human blood through an artificial membrane system.  When a dog hair substrate was included in cages with the fleas, mean adult mortality was 2.4 after 12 d of bloodfeeding. Egg production began after 3 d and was continuous for 12 d, ranging from 3 to 4 eggs per female per day. In cages without hair, mean adult mortality was 61.2% after 12 d of bloodfeeding. Egg production began after 2 d, reached a maximum of two eggs per female per day after 7 d, and decreased thereafter.  No significant differences in egg hatch were seen in treatment groups sampled from 5 to 7 d after the onset of bloodfeeding. After 7 d, however, egg hatch for fleas maintained in cages without hair was significantly lower than in cages where fleas were maintained on dog hair. Adult emergence from these larvae did not differ significantly between the two groups. Egg hatch and adult emergence in both groups of fleas fed on human blood did not differ significantly from egg hatch and adult emergence in fleas fed on colony cats.

(1993 Nov.) Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; trachea; mucus; cells; transport; sex-differences; age-differences; technetium; ciliated-epithelial-cells

*Abstract*:  To measure tracheal mucociliary transport rate (TMTR) in awake dogs, restrained in dorsal  recumbency, 99mtechnetium-labeled macroaggregated albumin was administered by tracheal injection, and the cephalic movement of boluses containing the radiopharmaceutical was detected by a gamma camera positioned lateral to the dog's head and neck. The distance traveled by each bolus was measured, relative to external markers placed a known distance apart. Tracheal mucociliary  transport rates were calculated by dividing the measured distance of radiopharmaceutical movement by elapsed time. The technique was efficient and well tolerated. Mean (+/- SD) TMTR was 35.3 +/- 15.9 mm/min. Significant (P = 0.029) difference in TMTR was found between males and females, but significant difference attributable to age of the dog was not detected. This method of measuring TMTR in awake dogs has potential for evaluation of clinical animal patients with suspected  tracheal mucociliary abnormalities.

Includes references.*Descriptors:* dogs; german-shepherd; arrhythmia; artificial-insemination; surgical-operations; inbred-lines; infertility; natural-mating; pregnancy-rate; litter-size; estrous-cycle; vagina; progesterone; semen-characters; embryo-mortality

*Abstract*:  A colony of German shepherd dogs with inherited ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death had infertility that was resolved by intrauterine insemination. Mating of German shepherd males to related German shepherd females (40 cycles) by vaginal artificial insemination resulted in a low pregnancy rate of 35% and a small median litter size of 3.6. When these same German shepherd males were bred to female beagles by vaginal artificial insemination, the pregnancy rate of 100% (P = 0.02) and median litter size of 7.0 were significantly (P = 0.04) greater. Therefore, inadequate fertility existed when the German shepherds were mated. Because matings between these dogs were necessary, surgical intrauterine insemination of fresh semen was instituted in eight German shepherd females over nine cycles. In bypassing the cervix with this method, German shepherd fecundity increased significantly, with a pregnancy rate of 100% (P = 0.002) and median litter size of 8.0 (P = 0.001). Surgical intrauterine insemination may be an important method for management of canine infertility in the research environment.

*Abstract*:  The presence of two virulence foci, invA and spvC, in Salmonella isolates obtained from poultry, wastewater, and human sources was determined. All isolates (n = 245) were positive for the invA gene sequence. Differences in degree of invasiveness were apparent with the Madin Darby canine kidney cell line, as only 79 of 159 randomly selected isolates (49.7%) tested were invasive at >0.1% of the inoculum, 25% were invasive between 0.1 and 1.0% of the inoculum, and 24.5% were invasive at >1.0% of the inoculum. There was a significant correlation between degree of invasion and source from which the isolate was recovered but no correlation between geographic origin of poultry isolates and degree of invasion. Only 37 of 245 isolates (15.1%) hybridized with the spvC DNA probe. All isolates that were recovered from a commercial egg production environment and chicken eggs and whose sequences exhibited homology with the spvC gene sequence were determined to be either Salmonella enteritidis PT 23 or PT 13. The sequences of few isolates from ceca and none from wastewater or humans demonstrated homology with the spvC gene.
