Melanocytic neoplasms are common in dogs and frequently occur within the oral cavity or haired skin. The behavior of melanocytic is variable depends on tumor location, size, histopathologic features. This study compared cytopathology histopathology 32 lymph nodes from 27 diagnosed with neoplasms. Agreement between original cytology report, slide review, review was determined for each node. A subset subjected to immunohistochemistry (Melan-A) additional histochemical stains/techniques...
To investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and economic impact of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections in dogs at a tertiary referral hospital. This was retrospective cohort study including with positive aerobic culture associated traumatic wound or surgical site infection between July 2018 November 2023. Data collected from medical records included signalment, type, results, medications (antibiotics, NSAIDs, steroids, immunosuppressives), care, hospitalization duration, concurrent...
Abstract Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping by various means has become standard of care in certain types human cancers and is receiving more attention veterinary oncology. Current SLN techniques can be costly often require advanced imaging equipment. The objective this prospective, method comparison study was to compare an protocol lymphoscintigraphy lymphography using water soluble iodinated contrast medium (WIC) digital radiography for identification SLN. Lymphoscintigraphy were performed...

Early enteral nutrition in dogs with critical illnesses, including septic peritonitis, has been shown to have a positive influence on patient outcome. Surgical placement of gastrostomy tube (GT) is one option for providing early nutrition. Complications, premature removal or separation the stomach from body wall, can result leakage gastric contents into abdominal cavity and subsequent peritonitis. A safe reliable technique GT desirable minimize such complications.A modified method surgical...
Abstract Objective To determine the influence of staple size on leakage pressure typhlectomy sites in canine cadavers. Study design Randomized, experimental cadaveric study. Animals Twenty‐four fresh Methods Ileocecocolic segments were exteriorized following right paracostal laparotomy after euthanasia. Cecal base length and wall thickness measured. Each cecum was randomly assigned to 1 3 groups (TA 30 V3 2.5 mm, TA 60 3.5 4.8 mm). The cecal stapled removed. A 10 cm segment including...
