A 7-year-old, intact, female Siberian husky presented with vomiting and diarrhea after a fight with a dog with which it lived. The bitch was diagnosed with pyometra and severe dehydration. The patient received IV fluid therapy for 2 day pre- and post-operatively. Four days post-surgery, the patient had a decreased level of consciousness and suffered a tonic-clonic generalized seizure. On magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of laminar cortical necrosis caused by fluid overload was made. This case provides important information on the potential for fluid overload in a dehydrated patient giving rise to critical condition and death.

A 12-year-old spayed female Cocker Spaniel was presented with vomiting, diarrhea, depression, and hyporexia of 3-day duration. Microscopic examination of the abdominal fluid from a dog showed basophilic, amorphous to fibrillar materials without bile pigments or crystals. Total bilirubin concentration of the fluid was 19 times higher than the serum bilirubin concentration and exploratory laparotomy revealed a ruptured gallbladder and mucoceles in the abdominal cavity. Rupture of gallbladder mucoceles may cause atypical bile peritonitis in which mucinous material is observed instead of bile pigment.

A five-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever presented with right forelimb lameness one day earlier. Radiographs and computed tomography of the right shoulder joint revealed conspicuous enthesophytes, bone cyst, and bone fragment at the intertubercular groove. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a loss of continuity of the biceps tendon and inhomogeneous hyperintense signal of the surrounding soft tissue and moderate synovial fluid on T2- and proton density-weighted images with contrast enhancement on the postcontrast T1-weighted images. The dog was diagnosed with tenosynovitis and biceps tendon rupture with osteoarthritis based on a comprehensive evaluation of the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is frequently observed in intact middle-aged or older male dogs with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to various symptoms such as urination, dyschezia, dysuria, tenesmus, and intermittent serosanguinous or clear serous exudate. A 4-year-old, intact male Welsh corgi with symptoms of intermittent hematuria and serosanguinous exudate at the urethral opening was diagnosed with BPH and intraprostatic hematocyst through ultrasonographic examination and cytology test. The dog was internationally adopted for reproductive purposes and needed to undergo BPH treatment while maintaining fertility. Thus, 2.5 mg finasteride was administered orally once a day for treatment option and therapeutic effects were observed, including loss of clinical symptoms and reduced prostate and intraparenchymal cyst size.

An 11-year-old neutered male Miniature Poodle with a stage 3 apocrine gland adenocarcinoma was started on chemotherapy with toceranib phosphate after surgery. Beginning on day 10 of toceranib, the dog's foot pads became erythematous and hyperkeratinized. The dog complained of pain, inability to walk, depression, and loss of appetite. The symptoms resolved when toceranib was discontinued and reappeared when toceranib was resumed. Grade 3 palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia was identified as an adverse event of toceranib based on the VCOG-CTCAE and Naranjo scale. Although very rare in veterinary medicine, clinicians should consider that palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia can occur after toceranib administration.

Serial ultrasonographic examinations were performed on 9 pregnant Korea Jin-do dog from days 15 to 60 to determine the size of gestational structures throughout pregnancy. Gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation (Day 0), which was estimated to occur when plasma progesterone concentration was first increased above 4.0 ng/ml. Extra-fetal structures were measureable from days 17 to 49. Outer uterine diameter increased from $7.0{\pm}0.7$ ($mean{\pm}SD$)mm at day 17 to $54.0{\pm}2.2mm$ at day 49 and inner chorionic cavity diameter increased from $3.0{\pm}0.7mm$ at day 17 to $37.5{\pm}0.6mm$ at day 49. Uterine wall thickness increased from $2.8{\pm}0.4mm$ at day 17 to $8.3{\pm}0.5mm$ at day 49, placental thickness increased from $1.0{\pm}0.1mm$ at day 22 to $5.7{\pm}0.2mm$ at day 49 and length of chorionic cavity or zonary placenta increased from $5.5{\pm}1.3mm$ at day 20 to $52.3{\pm}2.2mm$ at day 49. Inner chorionic cavity diameter, outer uterine diameter and placental length each increased at a linear rate through day 37, after which time, each had a marked plateau in growth. Of the extra-fetal structures, inner chorionic cavity diameter was the most accurate for estimation of gestational age until day 37. Fetal structures were measureable from days l7 to 60. Crown-rump length, increased from $3.0{\pm}0.7mm$ at day 22 to $118.7{\pm}3.1mm$ at day 49, fetal body diameter increased from $4.0{\pm}0.7mm$ at day 25 to $55.8{\pm}1.7mm$ at day 60 and fetal head diameter increased from $4.3{\pm}0.6mm$ at day 26 to $29.8{\pm}0.8mm$ at day 60. Of the fetal structures, fetal head diameter was the most accurate for estimation of gestational age from day 37 until day 60.

국내 반려동물 양육 가구 수는 매년 증가하고 있으며, 주거지 주변에서 반려견을 산책시키거나 가까운 공원을 찾아 운동하는 반려인들도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 반려인들을 대상으로 근린생활권 내에서의 반려견 산책활동 현황 및 물리적 환경 만족도를 파악하고, 반려견 운동공간인 반려견 놀이터에 대한 지불의사를 조사하는 것이다. 총 249명의 온라인 설문 응답자 중 47.8%가 하루 최소 1회 이상 산책을 하며, 주로 집 주변 산책로나 공원을 이용한다고 응답하였다. 응답자들은 반려견과의 높은 애착도를 나타냈으며, 반려견 산책이 반려견뿐 아니라 양육자 본인의 신체활동과 건강유지에도 도움이 된다고 인식하고 있었다. 한편, 산책로 주변 흥미로운 볼거리, 연결성 등 반려견 산책을 위한 근린생활권의 환경 만족도는 낮은 편이었으며, 목줄 없이 반려견들이 운동할 수 있는 반려견 놀이터 조성에 대한 요구가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 반려견 놀이터의 가치는 지불의사금액의 절단된 평균을 기준으로 할 경우 85,618원으로 추정되었다. t-검정과 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 산책 빈도와 반려견 시설에 대한 만족도가 지불의사금액에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반려견 산책을 통한 신체활동 증진을 위해서는 근린생활권 내 반려견 산책 환경개선에 대한 관심과 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The effects of continuous administration of propofol on the blood, liver and kidney of dogs were evaluated. Propofol(5mg/kg) was repeatedly administered to 8 mongrel dogs intravenously for consecutive seven days. Time to recovery, body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were measured and recorded during experimental period. Hematology (WBC, RBC, PCV) and serum chemistry (AST, ALT, BUN, Creatinine) were also monitored for eight days. Time to standing significantly decreased on day 4 and 6 compared with that on day 1. Body temperature 5 minutes after injection on day 5 and 6, and respiratory rate before injection on day 2, 3, 5 and 6 were significantly increased, respectively. No significant changes were observed in total WBC counts, total RBC counts and PCV values. The AST and AIT values were decreased on day 2 compared with those on day 1, but were within clinically normal range. There were no significant changes in BUN and Creatinine levels. This study suggests that consecutive day propofol anesthesia in dogs can be used for the purpose of the treatment and restraint.

The purposes of this study were to define the life cycle of Echinococcus and its species and subspecies in Korea. The results were as followings: 1. The patent period day of Echinococcus granulosus was 50 days. 2. The life cycle of Echinococcus granulosus was dog-cattle-dog, as cattle-dog originating adult. 3. The sine of the adult worm was measured from 2.2mm to 6.2mm, but most of them was between 3.0mm and 4.0mm (40% of all). 4. Although the number of segments was from three to five proglottids, most of them was 3 proglottids(76.7%), as immature, mature and gravid, respectively. 5. The habitat of the adult worm was recognized as duodenum or pyloric region in the dog. 6. According to the results above, we could be proved that the hydatid cysts of he Echinococcus discovered in Jeju-do, was Echinococcus granulosus granulosus.

A nine-month-old intact female Maltese dog (body weight: 1.5 kg) presented with frequent syncopal episodes (1-2/day), exercise intolerance, and dyspnea. Cardiomegaly with marked dilation of right and left atria along with ascites was indicated on radiography. Tricuspid regurgitant jets (4.36 m/s), pulmonary regurgitant jets (3.4 m/s), left-to-right shunting flow at the ductus arteriosus, and an atrial septal defect were observed on echocardiography. A bubble study with agitated saline found right-to-left shunting at the interatrial septum. Based on diagnostic studies, the dog was diagnosed with right-to-left atrial septum defect (ASD) compounded with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The treatment was directed to reduce the pulmonary hypertension, improve cardiac performance, and lower fluid retention. Despite medical treatment for 2 months, the dog died of sudden cardiac arrest. Herein, we describe a very rare case of right-to-left ASD compounded with PDA.
