The author has observed the gross reactions of surrounding maxillary sutures to the widening of midpalatal suture in comparison of young dog with adult dog. Experimental animals used was two young dog and two adult dog with normal palate. After midpalatal suture was seperated with rapid palatal expansion device, experimental animals were sacrificed to observe the surrounding maxillary sutures. The following results were obtained. 1. In adult dog, nasoincisive suture was not expanded, while in young dog it was expanded. 2. In adult dog, pterygopalatine suture was hardly expanded, while in young dog it was expanded definitely. 3. In adult dog, frontomaxillary suture was not expanded, while in young dog it was expanded unilaterally. 4. In adult dog, palatoethmoidal suture was not expanded, while in young dog it was expanded unilateraily.

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.

Backgrounds: Dog bite is the most common cause of animal bites. This study was conducted to analyze dog bite patients and to compare the differences of groups based on age. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to our hospital after dog bite injuries from January 2003 through December 2004. The patients were divided into two groups based on age; group A (children, < 15 years) and group B (adult, ${\geq}15years$). Results: A total of 103 patients were enrolled in the study. Dog bite injury frequently occurred to children under 10 years of age (21%). Home was the most common place of dog bite in group A, but public place was the most common in group B (p=0.000). Face was the most frequent body region of dog bite in group A, but hand was the most frequent in group B (p=0.039). Conclusions: From this study, we found statistically significant differences between the groups. Knowledge about age-related characteristics could result in improved prevention and treatment of these injuries.

A 4-year-old, 6.1 kg intact female dachshund was referred to the Animal Medical Center with acute right hind limb lameness. Radiographs revealed fractures of iliac body and tibia in the right limb. In addition, the dog exhibited tricuspid valve regurgitation and moderate heartworm infection in the right ventricle and main pulmonary artery on echocardiogram. To obtain stable anesthetic conditions for operation, an adult heartworm removal procedure was previously followed by repair of the complex fractures. All surgical procedures were done without complication and with stable patient conditions. At a one month postoperative follow-up, the dog was doing well with normal ambulation and no tricuspid valve regurgitation as well.

폐흡충(Paragonimus westermani)에 감염된 숙주에 대해 항체 생성을 유도하는 물질이 분포하고 있는 부위를 화인하기 위하여 대조군의 IgG와 폐홉충에 감염된 실험 개의 특이 IgG를 폐흡충 유약성충 조직에 반응시키고 면역황금표식법을 이용하여 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대조군의 IgG를 반응시킨 유약성충 표피층은 표피세포에서 분비되는 물질이 포함된 표피 합포체로 구성되어 기저층과 분명하게 구별되었으며 근육층도 잘 발달되어 있었다. 난황세포는 크기가 다양한 분비과립 등을 포함하고 있었으며 특히 조면소포체가 발달되어 있었다. 맹관의 막구조물은 잘 발달되었으며 장상피 합포체도 잘 발달되어 있었다. 한펀, 폐흡충에 감염된 실험동물의 특이 항체로 반응시킨 유약성충 표피충의 표피 합포체와 표피세포의 세포질에 황금입자의 매우 특이적인 표식가 관찰되었고 난황세포에서는 분필과립에 황금 입자가 높은 밀도로 관찰되었다. 그리고 맹관 상피 합포체는 미약하게 황금 표지가 되었고 맹관 막구조물과 맹관 내강에도 특이하게 황금 표지가 관찰되었지만 표피 합포체와 표피세포보다 밀도가 낮게 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 폐홉충에 감염된 실험 개는 폐흡충의 표피 합포체와 표피세포에서 생성된 물질과 난황세포에서 생성된 물질에 의하여 면역항체가 형성되며 일부는 맹관 내용물에 의해 약간의 면역항체가 유도되는 것으로 생각되었다.

Five black-tailed prairie dogs showed weakness. emaciation and anemia during the lairage period in May 2005. Among them, one adult male and one female prairie dogs were found dead. The stamp smear for revealed a tremendous number of Giardia trophozoites. Histopathological examinations of the intestine showed slightly inflammatory changes and cystic enlargement of the crypts in the duodenal and jejunal mucous membranes. From these findings, this disease was diagnosed as giardiasis in black-tailed prairie dog.

1년 6개월령 몸무게 7.7 kg의 수컷 Cocker Spaniel이 일주일 동안 지속된 역류성 구토를 주 증으로 진료 의뢰되었다. 기본 검사와 X선 투시진단법을 통해 식도운동성 저하로 진단하였다. 치료약물로는 mosapraide를 투여하였고, 습식 사료를 소량씩 자주 일어선 자세로 급여하는 방법을 통해 치료하였다. 3개월 후 재검사에서 임상증상의 개선과 X선 투시진단법 상 식도운동성의 개선이 있었으며, 첫 내원 시 식도 통과 시간이 18초였던 것에서 8초까지로 개선되었다. 본 케이스는 식도거대증을 동반하지 않으면서, 운동성만 저하된 질병으로 한국에서는 첫 보고이다.

There were outbreaks of canine distemper in Korea from the late 1990's to the early 2000's even though modified live CDV vaccines had been used as the same way as before. The present study was undertaken to investigate the levels of neutralizing antibodies in the Korean dog population, and the factors associated with the levels, with special reference to the vaccination history of the dogs. A total of 772 serum samples were from clinically healthy dogs with over one year old throughout the Korea from January 2003 to April 2004. Details on the sex, breed, age, vaccination status and disease histories were recorded. The level of neutralizing antibodies titer was determined with a modified version of the microneutralization test. Titers over 16 were classified as protective CDV antibody titers. The overall rate of adult dogs with protective antibody titers was 96.0%. The dogs with protective antibody titers varied depending on age, sex, rearing environment and vaccination status. Because the majority of healthy adult dogs in Korea had adequate serum antibody titers against CDV and the immunity provided by the vaccinations is claimed to last for several years, annual revaccination protocol for CDV in adult dogs should be reconsidered.

To predict the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of crude protein (CP) in dogs we developed an in vitro system using an in vitro digestion method and a statistical analysis. The experimental diets used chicken meat powder as the protein source, with CP levels of 20% (22.01%, analyzed CP value as dry-based), 30% (31.35%, analyzed CP value as dry-based), and 40% (41.34%, analyzed CP value as dry-based). To simulate in vivo digestive processes a static in vitro digestion was performed in two steps; stomach and small intestine. To analyze ATTD the total fecal samples were collected in eight neutered beagle dogs during the experimental period. CP digestibility was calculated by measuring CP levels in dog food, in vitro undigested fraction, and dog feces. In result, CP digestibility at both in vivo and in vitro was increased with increasing dietary CP levels. To estimate in vivo digestibility the co-relation of in vivo ATTD and in vitro digestibility was investigated statistically and a regression equation was developed to predict the CP ATTD (% = 2.5405 × in vitro CP digestibility (%) + + 151.8). The regression equation was evaluated its feasibility by using a commercial diet. The predicted CP digestibility which was calculated by the regression equation showed high index of similarity (100.16%) with that of in vivo in dogs. With that, it would be a feasible non-animal method to predict in vivo CP digestibility by using in vitro digestion method and the proposed linear regression equation in adult dogs.

Unknown age, spayed female mixed dog was presented with a severe lethargy. Radiography, ultrasonography, and blood screen test were performed to make a diagnosis. There were no specific radiographic findings. On the ultrasonography, small amount of ascites was found around gallbladder and hepatic vein was dilated approximately 6.1 mm. Blood screen test revealed a severe anemia. Result of heartworm ELISA kit was positive. At necropsy, parasites were in the left atrium, right ventricles, aorta, pulmonary artery, right renal artery.
