A comparison of growth rates of normal thoroughbred foals and foals diagnosed with cervical vertebral malformation     

S.J. Ruff BS  C.H. Wood PhD  D.K. Aaron PhD  L.M. Lawrence PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1993,13(10)

The objectives of this study were to compare the growth rates of normal thoroughbred foals to previously reported growth rates¹ and to compare growth rates of normal foals with foals diagnosed with cervical vertebral malformation (CVM). Fifty-six foals from two foals crops were used, and eight of these foals were diagnosed with CVM. Growth rate analysis of the CVM foals had to be restricted to the period prior to diagnosis because once these foals were diagnosed, they were treated differently from the normal foals. Body measurements taken at 7 day intervals were body weight, wither height, hip height, and heart girth. For statistical analysis, data were broken down into 30 day intervals. Results showed that the growth rates for normal thoroughbred foals have not changed in the past fifteen years. The CVM foals tended to be heavier and taller during some time intervals than the normal foals, but there were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the skeletal growth measurements. Body weight gain was faster in CVM foals from 31–60 d (p<.01), 121–150 d (p<.01), and 211–240 d (P –.05).  相似文献   

THE EFFECTS OF INTRA-ARTICULAR ANESTHESIA ON SOFT TISSUE-AND BONE-PHASE SCINTIGRAPHY IN THE HORSE     

Donald R.  Trout  DVM  PhD  William J.  Hornof  DVM  MS  Paul E.  Fisher  BS 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1991,32(5):251-255

Soft tissue- and bone-phase scintigrams were acquired from 4 normal horses before and over a 14-day period after metacarpophalangeal, antebrachiocarpal, tarsocrural and tarsometatarsal joint blocks. Images were evaluated subjectively and quantitatively for increased activity in these regions. The antebrachiocarpal block resulted in obvious focal accumulation of activity on soft tissue-phase scintigrams. This increased activity was greatest 2 to 4 days postanesthesia and persisted up to 14 days postanesthesia. On quantitative analysis of soft tissue-phase images, similar trends were noted after the metacarpophalangeal and tarsocrural blocks, but these increases were relatively mild and were not evident on subjective evaluation of the images. Abnormal soft tissue-phase activity was not associated with the tarsometatarsal block. On bone-phase scintigrams, increased activity was not present following any of these joint blocks.  相似文献   

Acute and short-term toxicoses associated with the administration of doxorubicin to dogs with malignant tumors     

G K Ogilvie  R C Richardson  C R Curtis  S J Withrow  H A Reynolds  A M Norris  R A Henderson  J S Klausner  J D Fowler  D McCaw 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1989,195(11):1584-1587

One hundred eighty-five dogs with histologically confirmed, measurable malignant tumors were used in a study to determine the toxicity of the anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, doxorubicin, which was administered once or twice (at a 21-day interval) at the rate of 30 mg/m2 of body surface area, iv. During this study, 7 dogs died as a direct result of doxorubicin-induced toxicosis and 16 died as a direct result of the malignant neoplastic disease. Each dog was evaluated for signs of toxicosis for 3 weeks after the last dose was administered (15 dogs received 1 dose, 170 dogs received 2 doses) or until the dog died, whichever came first. The most common signs of toxicosis were vomiting, diarrhea, colitis, anorexia, and pruritus. The probability of doxorubicin-induced toxicosis decreased significantly (P less than 0.0001) in inverse relationship to body weight. Dogs with signs of toxicosis during the 21-day interval from administration of the first dose of doxorubicin were 17.2 times (P less than 0.01; 95% confidence interval; 5.5, 54.2) more likely to develop signs of toxicosis during the 21-day interval from the second dose of doxorubicin. The performance status of each dog was evaluated using a modified Karnofsky performance scheme; the only time the performance status was adversely affected to a significant extent by doxorubicin-induced toxicosis was during the 21-day period, starting with the second dose (P less than 0.0001).  相似文献   

VAGINAL PROLAPSE IN A SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SEA LION (NEOPHOCA NOVE HOLLANDIA)     

R. A. Read  W. T. Reynolds  D. J. Griffiths  † J. S. Reilly 《Australian veterinary journal》1982,58(6):269-271

SUMMARY A case of vaginal prolapse in a South Australian Sea Lion is described. Conservative treatment proved unsuccessful, and an ovariohysterectomy was performed. Problems concerning anaesthesia, surgery and post-operative management of this marine species are discussed.  相似文献

The effect of vitamin a supplementation on seminal characteristics and vitamin a absorption in stallions     

S.L. Ralston VMD  PhD  G.A. Rich PhD  S. Jackson BS  E.L. Squires PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1986,6(4)

Fourteen mature stallions were paired based on age and pretreatment spermatozoal output. One member of each pair was assigned to either 1) control (3 ml corn oil) or 2) treated (132,000 IU retinyl palmitate in 3 ml corn oil) experimental groups. Treatments were added to oat rations every other day. Seminal characteristics (gel free volume, gel volume, total seminal volume, percent progressively motile spermatozoa, number of spermatozoa per ml, percentage morphologically normal spermatozoa and spermatozoal membrane stability) and total scrotal width of each stallion were recorded before (February) and after three months of vitamin A supplementation (June). Plasma vitamin A was measured at 0,6,12,24, and 48 hours following the first and last treatments to document absorption. There were no treatment effects (p>.05) on seminal characteristics or scrotal width. Seasonal increases were recorded in gel-free volume, total seminal volume, percent spermatozoal motility, total spermatozoal output, percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa, and total scrotal width. Plasma vitamin A was lower during the second collection period (June) than the first (February) in both treatment groups. Peak plasma vitamin A was observed 48 hours following ingestion of the first dose of the vitamin but at 12 hours following the last treatment.  相似文献

Vesicular stomatitis virus (New Jersey strain) infection in two California dairy herds: an epidemiologic study     

M C Thurmond  A A Ardans  J P Picanso  T McDowell  B Reynolds  J Saito 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1987,191(8):965-970

The course of vesicular stomatitis in cattle was investigated in 2 dairy herds (A and B) located in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. Cattle were examined and specimens were obtained for virus isolation and for serologic survey for one year after an epizootic in December 1982. All 33 lactating cows selected for study had oral lesions, but only 19 (58%) were drooling or frothing around the mouth. Lesions on feet and teats were not observed. The healing time (longer than has been reported previously) for oral lesions ranged from 34 to 59 days. The mean serum neutralizing antibody titer for all cows tested in both herds 21 days after clinical signs were first observed was greater than 1:512. The mean titer decreased in the first 11 months after the epizootic, but remained greater than 1:128, and then increased during December 1983. Vesicular stomatitis virus/New Jersey strain was not isolated from 239 blood samples, 235 swab specimens of oral cavities, 38 swab specimens of oral epithelium, 206 urine specimens, or 232 fecal specimens collected from cows; however, it was isolated from tongue epithelium of 3 cows at 1, 4, and 21 days after signs of frothing were first noticed. For 20 lactating cows brought into dairy A during the epizootic, a mean time of 8.9 days elapsed between time of entry and appearance of clinical signs of vesicular stomatitis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

SEPTIC COXOFEMORAL ARTHRITIS AND OSTEOMYELITIS IN A DOG     

Lyndell  Levitt  BS  DVM  J. David  Fowler  BS  DVM  MVSc 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1988,29(3):129-132

An 8-year-old male Labrador retriever presented with a rear limb lameness cased by an osteolytic lesion of the left acetabulum and femoral head and neck. Initial bone biopsy study was nondiagnostic. Histopathologic study and culture of the subsequently excised femoral head and neck revealed a Staphyloccocus intermedial arthritis and osteomyelitis. Neoplash was ruled out on the basis of histopathologic analysis.  相似文献
