Objectives To describe the incidence, aetiology, characteristics, assessment, management and outcome of long‐bone fractures in rabbits presenting to a single institution. Materials Methods Medical records pet diagnosed with over 12‐year period were analysed. Patient signalment, fracture location, description, time from occurrence veterinary presentation, fixation method, postoperative complications, clinical follow‐up recorded. Results Twenty‐eight that sustained 30 included study [femoral...
To describe the clinical presentation, management and outcome of cases presenting with intrathoracic wooden skewers originating from abdominal gastrointestinal tract.Clinical records dogs presented treated for an skewer were reviewed June to August 2020. Data included signalment, duration signs, haematological biochemical abnormalities, diagnostic imaging findings, surgical procedure, postoperative complications outcome.Eleven in study. In all cases, foreign body was identified as a skewer....
Abstract Background : Albuminocytological dissociation (ACD) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is defined as an increased total protein concentration with normal nucleated cell count. It suspected to occur in diseases that alter blood‐brain barrier, increase production or obstruct flow CSF. The purposes this study were review CSF analysis results a large cohort dogs neurological conditions, analyse prevalence ACD and describe which have higher ACD. Study design methods Medical records...
A five‐year‐old female intact German shepherd presented with an acute onset of abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 5‐cm encapsulated, heterogeneous structure hypoechoic patches near the right pancreatic lobe. An exploratory laparotomy partially encapsulated necrotic mass located at greater omentum. partial omentectomy was performed. Histopathological findings were consistent necrosis omentum secondary to omental torsion. Postoperative course uneventful. Omental torsion is rare...
To describe the CT features of Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) and their association with trauma in cats. This study aimed to investigate whether MLL fluid cats accumulates between dermis deep fascia near superficial trauma, exhibits a vertical attenuation gradient, shows no or only mild contrast enhancement on images.
Objectives To report surgical technique, intra‐ and post‐operative complications, short‐ long‐term outcome following canine hepatobiliary surgery in which exposure of intra‐abdominal lesions was aided by diaphragmotomy. Materials Methods Clinical records from four multi‐disciplinary UK‐based small animal referral hospitals were retrospectively reviewed for dogs diaphragmotomy performed between January 2014 May 2019. Signalment, diagnosis, performed, management pneumothorax, short‐term...
To identify whether a theoretical predictable safe corridor is available in cats for placement of trans-iliac pins without the use fluoroscopy.Twenty-one with straight orthogonal normal pelvic radiographs were included. Two start points evaluated: midpoint and dorsal point. The was defined as midway between lamina sacral vertebral canal cranial iliac spine. point 2 mm ventral to pin assumed be driven at 90 degrees lateral face ilium, considered surgeon accuracy ±4 from perpendicular. angular...
Four male neutered continental giant rabbits aged between 10 and 30 months were presented with femoral condylar fractures, which developed without an observed traumatic injury. Stabilisation of the fracture was achieved screw fixation in all cases, supplemented additional three cases. Complications consequent to surgical intervention occurred two cases: a loss fixation. Three reported have recovered normal limb function, rabbit that as consequence its treated amputation.
A 5-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented to our referral centre with a 13 month history of chronic tenesmus due malunion the right caudal iliac body. Constipation and pelvic canal stenosis were initially addressed by referring veterinarian femoral head neck excision acetabulectomy without observable clinical improvement. At admission, abdominal radiographs revealed severe colonic distension narrowed caused proximal femur. Rectal examination colonography dynamic...
Negative‐pressure wound therapy (NPWT) involves the application of subatmospheric pressure to a help in healing process. The objective this case series was evaluate clinical experience using ultra‐portable NPWT devices on high‐risk closed incisions after surgical management complex non‐healing wounds. Data were available for eight dogs and three cats. Wound aetiologies varied from traumatic, neoplastic foreign body. Application maintenance portable device technically easy most cases, finding...
