Forty-five mixed breed dogs were evaluated for the presence and extent of periodontal disease. Histopathology was performed on samples lung, myocardium, liver, kidney, tonsil, spleen, submandibular lymph node tracheobronchial node. Mitral valves grossly. Statistical analysis used to determine if there a relationship between disease histopathologic changes in tissues examined. In forty-five studied, an association found myocardium (papillary muscle), liver.
Thirteen hundred and fifty dogs were examined under anesthesia at veterinary hospitals in the USA Canada. Periodontal health was recorded detail. Teeth frequently absent (particularly lower third molar, upper first premolars, incisor teeth). Calculus most extensive on fourth premolar molar teeth. Missing teeth, mobility of remaining extent calculus gingival inflammation, furcation exposure attachment loss all more common small compared with larger dogs, older younger dogs.
Abstract Objective —To determine whether severity of periodontal disease (PD) was associated with systemic health indices in dogs and treatment PD altered indices. Design —Prospective cohort study. Animals —38 dogs. Procedures —Healthy clinical signs were included the Physical examination, serum biochemical analysis, a CBC, urine evaluati on, measurement C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration, microalbuminuria test performed prior to PD. All tooth roots scored for gingivitis attachment loss,...
The efficacy of brushing the teeth beagle dogs in a randomized, controlled, blinded study design using clearly-defined technique was evaluated for 4 frequencies: daily, every other day, weekly and week, compared with no control group dogs. All were fed standard dry kibble diet during study. Standard plaque, calculus, gingivitis indices used to score teeth. A ‘clean tooth’ model used. No gingival or non-gingival lacerations signs injury oral tissues found at end 28 day trial period. Brushing...
ABSTRACT The case records and owners of seventy–two dogs with perineal hernia seen at the University Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital were surveyed. condition was in older male dogs, most which presented swelling straining to defaecate. Most treated by herniorrhaphy. incidence recurrence those surgically 46%. Recurrence more common when surgery had been performed inexperienced surgeons, elsewhere, time period from survey than 1 year. Other complications occurring wound infection,...
Height measurements of the mandible and mandibular first molar tooth were obtained from 234 dogs. Statistical analysis was performed to determine possible associations between these body weight, sex, age, condition. There a statistically significant association mandible: height measurement ratio weight (p < 0.0001) in all groups. Small dogs had proportionally larger teeth relative compared with This relationship may contribute an increased susceptibility small for periodontitis subsequent...
A telephone questionnaire survey of owners 51 dogs was conducted. All had periodontal treatment at VHUP six months or more previously. At that time, they received a tooth brush, dentifrice, instructions and demonstrations brushing. The were asked to brush the dogs' teeth once daily. time survey, 53% clients still brushing several times week 38% no longer all.
Aerobic and anaerobic subgingival bacteria were cultured identified from 49 dogs 40 cats with spontaneous gingivitis. The most common organisms gram-negative anaerobes (37% of canine isolates 39% feline isolates) gram-positive aerobes (36% 29% isolates). No major differences found between the floras
Twenty-four dogs with nasal aspergillosis were treated enilconazole (10 mg/kg bid for 7-14 days) administered topically through tubes surgically implanted into the chambers. Aspergillosis was eliminated in 19 over a median follow-up period of 18 months. Another dog died, but at necropsy there no evidence causative fungus. Two four that not cured had infection periorbital soft tissues. An additional seven received 6 weeks ketoconazole (5 PO) and therapy topically. Six these disease-free 35...
Thirty dogs with end-stage otitis were treated by either unilateral or bilateral total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy. Otitis was considered end stage when the horizontal collapsed, stenotic, occluded in conjunction chronic infection of external middle ear. The evaluated clinically radiographically for 4 to 63 months. frequency scratching, head shaking, aural drainage, para-aural fistulation significantly decreased. Abnormal carriage tilt not changed. results 23 graded as...

SUMMARY The case records of 79 dogs admitted during an 8-year period to the University Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital and diagnosed as having generalized megaesophagus were reviewed. Owners surveyed determine results treatment. condition occurred most frequently in young dogs, particularly German Shepherd Dogs Great Danes. Females more affected than males. Regurgitation, enlargement cervical portion esophagus, respiratory tract disease common clinical signs. Of those whose fate was known,...
Numerous types of veterinary orthodontic treatments are reported in papers and during meetings, however little is generally known concerning craniofacial growth dogs. Most statements dental publications drawn from human-oriented studies. This makes decision making orthodontics difficult. The purpose this paper to review studies performed
ABSTRACT The results of treatment fifty‐four dogs seen at the University Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital with perineal hernia were analysed. Conservative was not satisfactory for which strained to defaecate. Perineal herniorrhaphy followed by recurrence in 37% dogs; continued straining defaecate, urinary problems and rectal prolapse other post‐herniorrhaphy sequelae. Anal splitting performed eight soiling anal area occasional incontinence reported some dogs.
ABSTRACT Neurogenic atrophy is described in biopsy specimens of laryngeal muscles seven large breed dogs. Signs shown by the dogs were similar but varied degree severity; most had a rough bark and stridorous respiration several months' duration which progressed to obstructive dyspnoea and, some cases, glottic obstruction with collaspe on exertion. At laryngoscopy, there signs both chronic acute laryngitis; vocal cords oedematous almost midline; they did not abduct vigorous inspiratory...
