Abstract:
Congenital defects of the palate are not common in dogs, although
brachycephalic breeds are more predisposed. Primary and secondary
palates or both can be affected. The primary palate cleft consists
in any cleft cranial to the incisive foramen and including the lip.
The secondary palate cleft occurs caudally to the incisive foramen.
The aim of this paper is to describe the anatomy, etiology, embryogenesis,
clinical and surgical aspects of the congenital palatine clefts
in dogs, and to report three cases. The surgical technique to treat
the abnormalities should be determined according to the patient
condition. The early diagnosis of the lesion enables the undertaking
of therapeutic and nutritional support measures. Due to the hereditary
character of the disease, the animal should not be used for breeding
purposes. |

Abstract:
Postoperative analgesia is considered ethically and clinically essential,
especially in orthopaedical procedures. The analgesic effect of
four nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (vedaprofen, ketorolac,
carprofen and ketoprofen) was evaluated by home visits during three
days postoperatively in thirty-five dogs submitted to orthopaedical
procedures. Qualitative and quantitative variables were observed.
It can be concluded that the analgesia of the four drugs is equivalent,
although the owners find significant differences in water intake
and crying among the animals of the four groups. The choice of the
postoperative treatment of orthopaedical surgeries should be based
on the relation between cost and benefit or on the owner's preference.

Abstract:
The current interest in the development of sperm preservation protocols
that allow semen transport within and between countries has increased
among both veterinarians and breeders. This paper describes the
achievement of pregnancy by artificial insemination using canine
chilled semen after long distance transportation. Semen from a stud
Dobermann dog was collected by digital manipulation. After qualitative
and quantitative evaluation, the semen was extended in Tris-egg
yolk and stored in a thermal box containing biologic ice at 5 °C.
Material was sent by air from São Paulo (SP) to Fortaleza
(CE). After arrival, the material was reevaluated and the artificial
insemination of a Dobermann bitch was performed. The total time
between semen collection and the accomplishment of the artificial
insemination was 13 hours. Pregnancy was confirmed and followed
by ultrasonography. Artificial insemination resulted in the birth
of eight puppies, five of which are alive and healthy. |

Abstract:
Pythiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Pythium insidiosum,
a zoosporogenic fungus of the kingdom Stramenopila, phylum Oomycota,
and family Pythiaceae. Although it affects mainly the subcutaneous
tissue of horses, it has also been reported in other species. It
is an uncommon disease of dogs, usually occurring in three-year-old
or younger males of large breeds as a gastrointestinal manifestation
with clinical signs that include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of weight
and, occasionally, a palpable mass in the abdomen. Lesions are frequently
found in the stomach and small bowel, but can extend to pancreas,
uterus and mesenteric lymph nodes. The clinical and necropsy findings,
as well as histopathological and mycological aspects of a case of
colonic and mucocutaneous pythiosis in a dog are presented, and
the differential diagnosis of chronic diarrhea in dogs is discussed.
