Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTA 7½‐year‐old male Pointer had episodes of disorientation, ataxia and collapse due to persistent hypoglycaemia. A solitary islet cell tumour was removed surgically from the tail of the pancreas. Hyperglycaemia and glycosuria persisted for 6 days after pancreatic resection but thereafter recovery was uneventful and blood glucose levels were in the normal range 3 months later. The literature on the clinical aspects of canine islet cell tumours is summarized.Résumé. Un pointer, mâle, âgé de 7 ans ½ avait des épisodes de désorientation, d'ataxie et de collapsus dûs à une hyperglycémie persistante. On a fait l'ablation d'une tumeur solitaire des îlots de Langerhans de la queue du pancréas. L'hyperglycémie et la glycosurie ont persisté pendant 6 jours après resection pancréatique, mais après cela, la guérison s'était déroulée sans incidents et les taux de glycémie étaient de nature normale 3 mois plus tard. On a fait le résumé des exposés sur les aspects cliniques des tumeurs des îlots de Langerhans chez le clien.Zusammenfassung. Ein 7½ Jahr alter Pointer hatte Episoden von Disorientierheit, Ataxie und Kollaps, die einer anhaltenden Hyperglykämie zuzuschreiben waren. Ein einzelner Langerhansschen Inselzellentumor wurde chirurgisch von der Cauda pancreatis entfernt. Hyperglykämie und Glykosurie hielten für 6 Tage nach pankreatischer Resektion an, aber danach war die Genesung ohne besondere Ereignisse und Blutzuckerspiegel waren 3 Monate später im normalen Bereich. Die Literatur über klinische Aspekte von Hunde‐Inselzellen Tumore wurde zusammengefasst.

Segmental aplasia of the Wolffian duct; report of a case in a Poodle
Authors: MAJEED Z. Z. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTBilateral segmental aplasia of the Wolffian duct was diagnosed in a white Poodle dog. On both sides, the tail and part of the body of the epididymis were absent. On the right side spermiostatic cysts were present between the head and the body of the epididymis. This dog must have been infertile, and the possibility of inheritance of the condition from animals affected unilaterally is discussed.Résumé. On a diagnostiqué, chez un caniche barbet blanc, l'aplasie bilatérale segmentaire du conduit méonéphrique. Sur les deux côtés, la queue et une partie du corps de l'épididyme étaient absentes. On a décelé, sur le côté droit, la présence de Kystes spermiostatiques entre la tête et le corps de l'épididyme. Ce chien doit avoir été stérile et la possibilité que cette condition se transmette d'animaux affectés unilatéralement, est l'objet de discussions.Zusammenfassung. Bilaterale segmentale Aplasie des Wolffischen Kanals wurde in einem weissen Pudel diagnostisiert. An beiden Seiten fehlte Schwanz und ein Teil von dem Epididymis‐Corpus. Auf der rechten Seite fand man spermiostatische Zyste zwischen dem Epididymis‐Kopf und ‐Corpus. Dieser Hund muss unfruchtbar gewesen sein und die Möglichkeit einer erblichen übertragung dieser Kondition von Tieren die unilateral betroffen sind, wurde diskutiert.

Differential diagnosis of tenesmus in the dog*
Authors: WEAVER A. D. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTTenesmus refers to severe straining due to abnormalities in or around the lower alimentary or urinogenital systems. Differential diagnosis is based on (a) history; (b) visual inspection of the perineum (where painful lesions leading to dyschezia are often located); (c) abdominal palpation, possibly followed by catheterization; (d) rectal examination; (e) radiography including contrast studies; (f) proctoscopy and possibly biopsy; (g) laparotomy in unresolved cases. The incidence of alimentary and urinary tenesmus is illustrated in a select series. The forms of tenesmus in 110 dogs were as follows: urinary (53 cases), alimentary (38), urinary and alimentary (14), unknown cases (5).

Observations on the effect of age on the severity of heart valve lesions in the dog
Authors: WHITNEY J. G. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTChronic valvular disease (valvular endocardiosis) is the most common cardiac abnormality of the dog. This paper demonstrates how this condition increases in frequency and severity with advancing age by means of a visual impression method for the gross examination of the heart valves. These lesions occur in descending order of frequency and severity in the left atrioventricular valve, the septal cusp of the right atrioventricular valve, the mural cusp of the same valve, the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve. The histopathological features of these lesions are outlined.Résumé. La maladie chronique valvulaire (endocardiose valvulaire) est l'anomalie la plu commune chez le chien. Cette étude démontre comment la fréquence et la sévérité de cett condition s'accroissent avec l'âge par moyens de méthode d'impression visuelle pour l'examer en gros des valves du cœur. Ces lésions se produisent en order diminuant de fréquence et do sévérité dans la valve atrioventriculaire gauche, dans la cuspide septale de la valve atrioventri culaire droite, la cuspide murale de la même valve, la valve de l'aorte et la valve pulmonaire On souligne les caractéristiques histopathologiques de ces lésions.Zusammenfassung. Chronische valvuläre Erkrankung (valvuläre Endocardiosis) ist die gewöhnlichtste Herzabnormalität in Hunden. Diese Zeitschrift legt dar wir, mittels visuellem Eindrucksverfahrens für die allgemeine Untersuchung der Herzklappen, sich diese Kondition an Häufigkeit und Schwere mit zunehmendem Alter steigert. Diese Läsionen treten in abfallender Ordnung an Häufigkeit und Schwere in der linken Herzvorhof‐Kammerklappe, der Cuspis septalis der rechten Herzvorhof‐Kammerklappe, der Cuspis muralis von derselben Klappe, der aortischen Klappe und der pulmonalen Klappe. Die histopathologischen Merkmale von diesen Läsionen sind umrissen.

The distribution of spirochaetes in the gingival crevice of a Beagle dog
Authors: SOAMES J. V. , DAVIES R. M. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTIn the Beagle dog the dental plaque at the orifice of the gingival crevice consisted of a dense, mixed bacterial population. More apically, large numbers of spirochaetes were observed and many were orientated parallel to one another with their long axes vertical to the tooth surface. It is suggested that the distribution of spirochaetes within the gingival crevice is related to the growth requirements of these organisms.Résumé. Chez le bigle, la plaque dentaire à l'orifice de la crevasse gingivale consistait en une population dense d'un mélange de bactéries. On avait remarque au sommet un plus grand nombre de spirochètes beaucoup s'orientaient parallèles aux uns et aux autres avec leurs longs axes, verticaux à la surface de la dent. On suggère que la distribution de spirochètes dans la crevasse gingivale se rapporte à la grosseur exigée de ces organismes.Zusammenfassung. Im kleinen Spürhund bestand die Zahnplaque am Orificium der Zahnfleischtasche aus einer dichten gemischten bakteriellen Bevölkerung. Mehr apikal, wurden grosse Anzahlen von Spirochäten bemerkt und viele waren parallel zueinander orientiert mit ihren Längsachsen waagerecht zu der Zahnoberfläche. Es wurde vorgeschlagen, dass die Verteilung von Spirochäten innerhalb der Zahnfleischtasche mit dem Wachstum Erfordernissen dieser Organismen verbunden ist.

A histological study of fracture nonunion in small dogs
Authors: SUMNER‐SMITH G. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTLack of mineralization of a fracture of a radius and ulna does not necessarily produce nonunion or pseudarthrosis. Hyaline cartilage may persist at the fracture site beyond 24 weeks. A fracture may be firm although radiographically there is no evidence that the site is mineralized, being bridged only by hyaline and fibrocartilage and not by bone.Résumé. On a constaté qu'un défaut de minéralisation lors d'une fracture du radius et cubitus ne produit pas nécessairement une non‐union ou une pseudo‐arthrose et que le cartilage hyalin peut demeurer au site d'une fracture au‐delà de 24 semaines. Par conséquent, une fracture peut ètre suffisamment solide, bien que radiographiquement le site n'est pas miné ralisé, étant soudée par du cartilage hyalin et fibreux seulement et non pas du tissu osseux.Zusammenfassung. Fehlende Mineralisierung einer Fraktur von Radius und Ulna fuehrt nicht unbedingt zu mangelnder Vereinigung oder zu einer Pseudarthrose, und hyaliner Knorpel mag laenger als 24 Wochen im Frakturgebiet vorkommen. Die Fraktur kann stabil sein, wenn roentgenologisch das Frakturgebiet nicht mineralisiert ist, und lediglich durch hyalinen und fibroesen Knorpel—nicht durch Knochen—ueberbrueckt ist.
Keeshonds: a genetic study of epilepsy and EEG readings
Authors: WALLACE MARGARET E. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTData are presented from some 321 Keeshond dogs attending a clinic for electroencephalographic records, and their 108 close ancestors. They are examined to see whether the EEG readings are diagnostic of a tendency to epileptiform fits, and what hereditary basis there is, if any, for both the readings and the fits. The evidence does not support the idea of a diagnostic value; finds no hereditary basis for the readings; and, as far as the limited information about dogs which have had fits allows, slightly favours some hereditary component in the aetiology of epilepsy. These findings are discussed in relation to those concerning hereditary epilepsy in other breeds.
The second opinion case‐(2) the Consultant's point of view
Authors: GRAHAM‐JONES O. 
Published: September 2008

SUMMARYAn attempt has been made to relate the second opinion case to the consultant, and to give the consultant's point of view both of the case and his own status. A plea is made for more mutual understanding of the difficulties facing a College consultant and for a greater definition of the consultant status as it applies to teaching institutions. Mention is made of areas where dissatisfaction may exist and an attempt has been made to explain them.
A survey of the ectoparasitic infestations of dogs in Nigeria
Authors: DIPEOLU O. O. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTBetween January and December 1973, a survey of ectoparasitic infections of domestic dogs was carried out at Ibadan. The ectoparasites were detached from dogs brought for treatment at the two veterinary clinics in Ibadan and from those living in the less developed areas of Ibadan. A similar but briefer survey was made during a trip to the northern states in August.Ticks were the most common ectoparasite found on the dogs. Among these, Rhipicephalus sanguineus predominated throughout the year. Another species, R. longus was strongly represented in some of the northern towns. The only myiasis producing larvae obtained were those of Cordylobia anthro‐pophaga and they were most common during the wet season. Very few lice and fleas were obtained.

Authors: WINSTANLEY E. W. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTCircular excised skin wounds in the thoracic and metatarsal regions of the dog were studied. A similar sequence of events took place in the two regions although differences did occur due to the different reactions of the tissues which surrounded the wounds. None of the wound cavities became filled with exudate during the early stages of healing. In the thoracic wounds the cavities were largely filled by the swelling and inward movement of adipose tissue. Epithelium first grew on the wound surface in the sector of the wound that was situated in the direction of hair flow. The average time to complete epithelization was similar in both sets of wounds. A zone of alopecia developed around the wounds.

SUMMARYA SUMMARY OF WORK CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS IN THE CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL VETERINARY MEDICINE, MADINGLEY ROAD, CAMBRIDGEA brief description of the current work on animal neoplasia in progress at the Cambridge University Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine has been presented. General Practitioners play an essential role in the programme, which cannot proceed without cases referred by them. Cases which are of special interest include osteosarcomas, lymphosarcomas and malignant melanomas for immunotherapy trials, and reticulum cell sarcomas and mastocytomas for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The Department also runs a routine radiotherapy and histopatho‐logical service.
Metastasising canine fibrosarcoma originally diagnosed as haemangiopericytoma
Authors: PANTEKOEK J. F. C. A. , SCHIEFER B. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTHaemangiopericytoma of the left carpal joint region was diagnosed in a biopsy from a 13‐year‐old Cocker Spaniel. Six months later, there was recurrence at the original site with pulmonary metastases. Ultrastructural examination revealed that the neoplastic cells did not have an enveloping membrane. Since the finding of such membranes is characteristic of human pericyte tumours, the canine growth was classified as a fibrosarcoma. It is suggested to re‐evaluate the use of the term haemangiopericytoma in veterinary medicine.
Diabetes mellitus‐A study of the disease in the dog and cat in Kent
Authors: FOSTER S. J. 
Published: September 2008

ABSTRACTA survey carried out using data supplied by members of a territorial division of the BSAVA revealed that a quantity of useful data exists in general practice and, given circumstances under which extraction and interpretation of it can be carried out, new information may be produced. In this instance diabetes mellitus in the dog was shown to occur in Kent particularly in the miniature and toy Poodle as a group and in the standard, wire‐haired, miniature and long‐haired Dachshund as a group.The disease was commonest in the bitch; it showed a peak age occurrence for both sexes during the 10th‐12th year with a winter/spring incidence, but in the entire bitch it followed oestrus and tended to occur during the summer.The prognosis was found to be favourable when treatment with insulin by injection was started early and survival times of 12 months (50% of cases) and 3 years (23%) could be obtained. The prognosis for the cat was favourable despite the different life styles of dog and cat. The variable results and conclusions reached by different authors on this subject may be due to the vagaries of environment, diet, breeds and breed in an area, as well as to temperament, stress factors and genetic potential.
