The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness different anesthetic protocols for semen collection from healthy tomcats using Urethral Catheterization after Pharmacological Induction (UrCaPI). Twenty sexually mature (Felis catus) were included in study, which high and low dosages medetomidine or dexmedetomidine administrated collect semen. Ten (Group A) received drugs, and, particular, five them i.m. injected with 120 μg/kg (HMED) on day 1 60 (HDEX) 24 h (day 2). remaining group 2....
Placenta is essential for the development of fetus, and its impaired function can lead to a negative outcome (i.e., neonatal mortality). In dogs, investigations on placenta histology in healthy bitches are lacking, contribution provided this study emphasize use practice. Fifty-one placentas from 11 litters were collected during cesarean section, classified according litter size (large (L) or small (S)) outcome, latter as (Group 1) dead within 7 days 2). The placenta/puppy weight ratio (PPR)...
Assisted reproduction techniques play a significant role in veterinary medicine, and although they are widely used domestic animals, also becoming increasingly relevant clinical practice for wild felids, especially the conservation efforts endangered species. In this study, result of two semen collection techniques, urethral catheterization after pharmacological induction (Ur.Ca.P.I.) electroejaculation, described, aiming to provide new practical information about sperm using Ur.Ca.P.I....
Despite the increasing demand of cellular therapies for dogs, little is known on differences between adult and fetal adnexa canine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), data their metabolic features are lacking. The present study aimed at comparing characteristics adipose tissue (AT) umbilical cord matrix (UC) MSCs. Moreover, first time in dog, bioenergetics were investigated by evaluating two main pathways (oxidative phosphorylation glycolysis) ATP production. Frozen-thawed samples used this...
High dose medetomidine 0.13 mg/kg can be used for semen collection in cats with variable results terms of quantity and quality. Therefore, a variation distribution elimination among patients has been hypothesised. The aim the study was to characterise pharmacokinetics (0.13 mg/kg) administered intramuscularly (IM) healthy male cats. Eighteen undergoing castration were included, IM. Venous blood samples collected at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 90 minutes after administration. Before orchiectomy,...
The development of endoscopic transcervical catheterization (ETC) in the queen increases interest handling fresh and cryopreserved feline semen. ETC requires a small volume insemination dose with high concentration, not easily reached actual frozen technique this species. Centrifugation is widely used to concentrate spermatozoa for several purposes, but process detrimental spermatozoa. This study verified effects conventional cushioned centrifugation on To this, semen was collected from 20...
Perineal hernia refers to the herniation of pelvic and abdominal viscera into subcutaneous perineal region through a diaphragm weakness: concomitant prostatic disease is observed in 25-59% cases. Prostatectomy involves removal prostate, either partially (partial prostatectomy) or completely (total prostatectomy). In case complicated hernia, staged procedures are recommended: celiotomy order perform colopexy, vasopexy, cystopexy, and/or treat disease, access repair hernia. Very few reports...
Objectives Several anaesthetic protocols for caesarean section (c-section) have been described in dogs; however, anaesthesiological studies cats undergoing c-section are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the viability and outcome kittens born from queens emergency receiving propofol or alfaxalone induction isoflurane maintenance general anaesthesia. Methods All admitted Veterinary Teaching Hospital University Bologna between January 2014 December 2022 dystocia that had undergone...
Data from three cases of uterus masculinus were retrieved 2014 to 2018. Two out presented clinical signs compatible with systemic infection, as observed in bitches pyometra. Ultrasound examination revealed a tubular fluid-filled structure thin irregular wall located cranially the prostate and continuity cranial part gland. In two cases, other structures visualized caudal abdominal cavity, ventrally gland urinary bladder. After surgical removal these, histological presence uterine...

Total or partial vulvo-vaginectomy vaginectomy are not routinely performed due to the complexity of techniques and because they considered radical treatments. Little information can be found in literature, as same technique is often named a different way by authors, confusing reader. Therefore, aim this essay describe five surgical techniques: vaginectomy, complete vestibule-vaginectomy, vulvo-vestibule-vaginectomy vulvo-vestibulectomy. All described on basis correct identification...
