An 18-month-old, Scottish Fold with severe lameness and pain in the fore- and hind-limbs was diagnosed as Scottish Fold osteochondrodysplasia based on radiography showing mis-shapened phalanges, bone formation around the tarsal and metatarsal joints, joint space narrowing, and ankylosis. Although computed tomography (CT) is not considered a primary method for examining Scottish Fold osteochondrodysplasia, CT was undertaken in this case to investigate the cause of pain and reluctant ambulation in the forelimbs. CT showed immaturely ossified bone proliferation in the carpal bones. CT-based multiplanar reconstruction can reveal the anatomic relationship between the bone lesion and the joint in various directions.

상염색체 우성 다낭성 신병은 페르시안과 페르시안에서 유래된 품종에서 다발하는 질환으로, 스코티쉬 폴드 고양이에서도 간혹 보고된 바가 있다. 5살령의 수컷 스코티쉬 폴드 고양이가 기본적인 혈액 검사와 복부 초음파 등을 통해 다낭성 신병으로 진단 받은 후 3.5 개월 만에 폐사하였다. 이 고양이는 동배 암컷 고양이를 비롯한 3 마리의 암컷 고양이와 교배하여 14마리의 새끼고양이가 있었으며 연령대는 3개월령에서 8년령으로 다양하였다. 상염색체 우성 다낭성 신병인지를 확인하기 위해 변이된 PKD1 유전자에 대한 유전자 검사가 이루어졌다. 또한 복부 초음파를 통해 신장의 낭성 구조물을 확인하는 검사도 이루어졌다. 총 19마리 (수컷: 13마리, 암컷: 6 마리) 에 대한 검사가 이루어 졌으며 연령대는 3개월에서 8년령 사이였다. 검사 결과, 19마리 모두에서 유전자 검사와 초음파 검사 결과가 일치하였고, 이 중 8마리가 상염색체 우성 다낭성 신병으로 진단되었다. 아직까지 한국에서는 고양이의 상염색체 우성 다낭성 신병은 보고 된바 없으며, 본 조사는 가족 단위의 스코티쉬 폴드 고양이에 발생한 상염색체 우성 다낭성 신병에 대한 첫 보고이다.

A 10-month-old intact male Scottish Fold was presented with cardiomegaly. The cat showed exercise intolerance after birth. Radiographs showed cardiomegaly with bulging of the main pulmonary artery and dilation of pulmonary arteries. Echocardiogram revealed abnormally arisen aortic root toward right ventricle with left-to-right shunted perimembraneous ventricular septal defect located underneath the aortic root. Based on imaging studies, the cat was diagnosed as subaortic type of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) without concurrent abnormalities.

A 5-year-old, 2.7 kg, spayed female Scottish Fold cat presented with hematemesis after administration of oral zaltoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, by the owner. Diagnostic imaging and blood analyses indicated development of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from zaltoprofen ingestion. To correct dehydration and anemic conditions, the cat received intravenous fluid therapy with whole blood transfusion and peroral N-acetylcysteine. Clinical signs resolved, but persistent azotemia was unresolved indicating that AKI could progress to chronic kidney disease. This case suggests that although zaltoprofen may have low adverse effects on humans, administration of zaltoprofen in cats can have serious adverse effects.

A 12-month-old, 3.0-kg, male, Scottish fold cat was referred to Irion animal hospital with dyspnea and cardiac murmur. In radiograph, right-sided cardiomegaly and pleural effusion were identified. In echocardiographic examination, abnormal stenotic region was identified in right ventricle and dilation of right atrium and concentric hypertrophy of interventricular septum and the free wall of right ventricle were also identified. In the stenotic region, abnormal muscular band was identified. The turbulent flow was identified in infundibular region of right ventricular outflow tract with color-Doppler examination and high velocity flow (4.0 m/s) was also identified in stenotic region. With these results, double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) was diagnosed.

A 1-year-old spayed female Scottish Fold cat presented with a 1.5-month history of vomiting, intermittent dyspnea, and abdominal distention. Radiographic, ultrasonographic, and computed tomographic examinations suggested a tentative diagnosis of a fluid-containing cystic mass with an internal septum. The mass was surgically removed. Histological examinations revealed that the mass was a non-neoplastic hepatic cyst. The patient had no recurrence of the cystic structure but died of acute renal failure 5 years after the surgery. This report describes the unusual case of a giant hepatic cyst with clinical signs that resolved after mass removal.

Since the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosatetraenoic acid (22:4n-6), is a major functional constituent of avian spermatozoa, the effects of two dietary oils rich in fatty acids which are metabolic precursors of 22:4n-6 on the fatty acid profiles of testicular lipids were investigated during a 39 week period of supplementation from 21 to 60 weeks of age. The effects on liver lipids were determined for comparison. Dietary supplementation of male chickens with Arasco Oil, which provides a large amount of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), increased the proportion of 20:4n-6 in liver phospholipid by almost 2.5-fold. Although liver phospholipid normally contains very little 22:4n-6, this proportion was significantly increased as a result of Arasco feeding, indicating that the conversion of 20:4n-6 to 22:4n-6 was occurring. The phospholipid of the testis contains much higher proportions of 20:4n-6 and particularly of 22:4n-6 than the liver; supplementation with Arasco Oil significantly increased the proportions of both these polyunsaturates in testis phospholipid but the magnitude of this effect was much lower than that which occurred in the liver. Dietary supplementation with Evening Primrose Oil which contains ${\gamma}-linolenic $ acid (18:3n-6) resulted in significant increases in the proportions of 20:4n-6 and 22:4n-6 in liver phospholipid, although the extent of this increase was less than that produced by the Arasco Oil. By contrast, the feeding of Evening Primrose Oil did not alter the fatty acid composition of phospholipid in the testis. The findings raise the possibility that dietary supplementation with Arasco Oil may modulate the fatty acid profile of avian spermatozoa in a way which could potentially be beneficial for fertility. Moreover, the weights of the testes were almost doubled as a result of supplementation with Arasco Oil or Evening Primrose Oil.

A 2-year-old, castrated male, Scottish fold cat was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University (VMTH-SNU) for evaluation of acute bilateral blindness after general anesthesia. For dental prophylaxis in local animal hospital, general anesthesia had been induced with intravenous acepromazine and ketamine, and maintained with isoflurane after intubation. At VMTH-SNU on next day, complete blood count, electrolytes and serum chemistry values were within normal ranges. On neurologic examination, visual placing and postural reactions like as hopping, hemiwalking and wheelborrowing were reduced on right hindlimb. On ophthalmic examination, menace responses were absent on both eyes and pupillary light reflex (PLR) reduced on right eye, but other reflex and fundus were normal. Prednisolone (2 mg/kg sid for 3 days) was administrated orally and tapered. Visual placing was possible on 2nd day, and postural reactions were recovered on 4th day after dental prophylaxis. Based on the process and recovery, this case was considered as postoperative visual loss (POVL) after general anesthesia.

4주령의 0.6 kg 암컷 스콧티쉬 폴드 고양이가 예방 접종을 위해 내원하였다. 신체 검사에서 수양성 분변이 질에서 나오는 것이 확인 되었고 항문은 폐쇄되어 있었다. 방사선 양성 조영 검사에서 직장질루, 확장된 결장이 확인 되었다. 영상 검사에 기초하여 Type III 의 항문 무형성과 직장 질루가 병발한 것으로 최종 진단 하였다. 수술적인 직장 질루의 폐쇄와 항문의 재건이 실시되었다. 수술 후 소화능력을 향상시키기 위해서 락툴로즈와 식이요법을 실시 하였고, 고양이는 수술 후 2주에 배변 조절이 가능해졌으며, 8개월 후 추적조사에서 합병증 없이 배변조절 상태가 유지 되었다.
