Ultrasound-guided (US-guided) loco-regional anesthesia can provide significant analgesia and anesthetic-sparing effects when used in rabbits. The aims of this study were to investigate the thoraco-lumbar anatomy rabbits, particularly quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle, design an appropriate US-guided block (QLB) specific for define most adequate volume injectate required consistently cover ventral branches T11 L3 without affecting pelvic limb innervation (L4, L5 L6). Sixteen adult rabbit...
Abstract The diagnosis and treatment of nasal foreign bodies usually includes a combination rhinoscopy imaging techniques, such as CT. purpose this retrospective, multicenter study was to describe the CT characteristics in dogs cats determine if different features exist between acute chronic cases. Twenty six met inclusion criteria. Eleven (42%) were detected confidently with body had linear shape 81% cases displayed “tubular‐like appearance” 54% In five (19%), suspected but not clearly...
ABSTRACT Three cases of gallbladder agenesis (GA) have been previously reported in the English-speaking veterinary literature. Affected dogs can be either asymptomatic or symptomatic with vomiting, retching, and anorexia reported. The dog this report had marked elevations alanine aminotransferase concentrations, liver histopathology consistently showed bridging fibrosis biliary hyperplasia. condition is most often diagnosed humans during exploratory surgery, which was also case previous...
Bacterial liver parenchymal infections in dogs are rarely documented, and their imaging characteristics scarce the veterinary literature, especially Computed Tomography (CT). This retrospective multicentric study aimed to describe CT of bacterial infection abscessation compare them with human literature. Twenty met inclusion criteria. All dogs, except one, showed discrete hepatic lesions consistent pyogenic abscess (19/20). A single case diffuse changes, which was diagnosed granulomatous...
Abstract A 4‐year‐old, female cocker spaniel was presented for investigation of acute onset vomiting and lethargy. Pyrexia, abdominal discomfort marked distension were detected during clinical examination. Clinicopathological findings revealed mild neutrophilia with band neutrophils. Biochemistry showed a hyperalbuminemia (40 g/L; reference: 23–35) elevation alanine aminotransferase (165 U/L; 0–110). computed tomography scan the abdomen raised suspicion gall bladder wall rupture secondary to...
An 11‐year‐old female British blue cat was referred for investigation of acute onset vomiting and marked abdominal enlargement. Diagnostic investigations confirmed a large volume free gas within the abdomen changes highly suspicious an ulcerative gastric lesion. Exploratory surgery presence perforated ulcer histological analysis showed only associated inflammatory change. The ulcerated lesions were resected, recovered rapidly with complete resolution clinical signs. Spontaneous rupture due...
Abstract A 6‐month‐old, male German shepherd dog was presented with a 2‐week history of left pelvic limb lameness. Physical examination revealed severe lameness, lumbosacral and pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed heterogeneous T2‐weighted hyperintensity, T1‐weighted hypointense marked contrast enhancement in the sacroiliac joint, consistent unilateral sacroiliitis. Computed tomography used to perform image‐guided arthrocentesis also an irregular joint. Infectious sacroiliitis, caused by...
Abstract An 11‐month‐old, male, entire Great Dane dog presented with acute‐onset non‐ambulatory tetraparesis. Three months before presentation, the was treated for a suspected bite injury. Examination revealed pyrexia (39.7°C) and marked multiple joint swelling, cervicalgia Based on clinicopathological findings diagnostic imaging, diagnosis of type II immune‐mediated polyarthritis reached. The tetraparesis investigated using magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography, allowing...
