Pyloric outflow obstruction secondary to sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis in a dog     

KA Carroll  ML Wallace  TL Hill  JW Bartges  JL Ruby  AT Mulder II  JI Helmick 《Australian veterinary journal》2020,98(1-2):11-16

A 6-year-old, male neutered mixed breed dog was presented emergently with a three-week history of hyporexia, vomiting, diarrhoea and weight loss. Upon examination, the patient was dull, had generalised muscle atrophy, moderate abdominal pain and a mild amount of peritoneal effusion. A fluid-filled, distended, corrugated small bowel with marked gastroparesis and moderate peritoneal effusion was noted on abdominal ultrasonography. Endoscopy revealed hyperaemic and friable mucosa and a subjectively narrowed pylorus. Emergency exploratory celiotomy was performed due to worsening patient condition and revealed thick, diffuse, fibrous adhesions of the abdominal cavity. Based on these findings, sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) was suspected. A large mass of omentum adjacent to the greater curvature of the stomach had caused a pyloric outflow obstruction. Adhesiolysis was attempted but was unsuccessful due to the friability of the small intestines. The dog was humanely euthanased under anaesthesia. A diagnosis of SEP was confirmed via necropsy. No underlying cause was identified. This is the first known case of a pyloric outflow obstruction secondary to SEP in a dog. Although rare, this condition should be considered as a differential for dogs with signs of a pyloric outflow obstruction with concurrent ascites and abdominal pain, hyporexia, vomiting and diarrhoea.  相似文献

The effect of severe drought and management after drought on the mortality and recovery of semi‐arid grassveld     

J.E. Danckwerts  G.C. Stuart‐Hill 《African Journal of Range and Forage Science》2013,30(4):218-222

Abstract

The False Thornveld of the Eastern Cape experienced a particularly intense drought during the 1982/83 growing season. Extensive grass mortality took place during the drought. After the drought, recovery was particularly sensitive to the post‐drought management treatment applied. Veld that was grazed immediately after the drought recovered far more slowly than veld that was rested. This effect was still evident three years later, illustrating the considerable importance of resting semi‐arid grassveld after a drought.

Increaser I grass species present were apparently more capable of surviving drought than the Decreaser species, which in turn were more stable than the Increaser II species. Their ability to recover after the drought followed an opposite trend. On this basis, the desirability of Decreaser dominated veld, in situations that are likely to be poorly managed, is questioned.  相似文献   

Biology of Hymenosoma Orbiculare Desm in Lake Sibaya     

B.J. Hill  A.T. Forbes 《African Zoology》2013,48(2):75-79

Hymenosoma orbiculare, (Crustacea: Brachyura: Hymenosomatidae) a crab common in estuaries in south- and south east Africa occurs in freshwater in Lake Sibaya at depths down to 40 m. This is the only known freshwater record of this species. The population density in the lake is fairly uniform declining in shallow and very deep water with an a11erage- of 2,5 m^-2 (134 Jm^-2). The proportion of females in the population increases with depth. Females carry fewer eggs than estuarine populations and breeding appears to occur throughout the year. Both zoeae and adults differ morphologically from estuarine populations. These differences in breeding, biology and morphology raise the possibility that the Lake Sibaya population is specifically distinct from estuarine populations and this is discussed in relation to other instances of hymenosomatid invasion of freshwater habitats.  相似文献

Management of bilateral idiopathic renal hematuria in a dog with silver nitrate

Renal hematuria has limited treatment options. This report describes management of bilateral idiopathic renal hematuria in a dog with surgically assisted installation of 0.5% silver nitrate solution. Initial treatment resulted in freedom from clinical signs or recurrent anemia for 10 months; however, recurrence of bleeding following a nephrectomy resulted in euthanasia.  相似文献   

Extramedullary laryngeal plasmacytoma in a dog     

AI Witham  KE Hill 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(1):61-64

Abstract

CASE HISTORY:?An 8-year-old, female, spayed Border Collie presented with a 3-week history of coughing, choking and haemoptysis.

CLINICAL FINDINGS:?Inspiratory stridor was evident on clinical examination. Cervical radiographs revealed a round soft-tissue mass on the dorsal aspect of the epiglottis. A laryngeal mass was evident on examination under anaesthesia, and an incisional biopsy was obtained. Histopathology revealed a dense proliferation of neoplastic round cells morphologically consistent with plasma cell origin. Immunohistochemisty results were negative for CD3 (T cell marker) and positive for CD79a (B cell marker), resulting in a diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with melphalan and prednisolone; clinical signs resolved within 1 week and the mass was no longer evident on laryngoscopy after 1 month of treatment. After 6 months of chemotherapy, the laryngeal mass recurred and euthanasia was requested. There was no evidence of systemic spread on post-mortem examination.

DIAGNOSIS:?Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the canine larynx.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE:?Respiratory extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rare with only one laryngeal and two tracheal cases previously reported. This is the first published report of a laryngeal plasmacytoma that recurred despite combination chemotherapy with melphalan and prednisolone.  相似文献

‘Progressive ataxia’ in a Charolais steer in New Zealand     

FI Hill  AF Julian  J Roiri 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(4)

Extract

Signs of progressive central nervous system disease in cattle aged 2 years and older should alert farmers and veterinarians to consider the possibility of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Government veterinarians routinely assess all livestock slaughtered in meat plants in New Zealand for signs of any nervous disorder, including abnormalities of behaviour and mental state and abnormalities of posture and gait.  相似文献
