11년령의 암컷 미니어처 푸들이 4개월의 혈흉으로 본 병원에 의뢰되었다. 신체검사에서, 비록 청진상에서 오른쪽 흉곽의 심음이 희미했으나 환축은 기민한 상태였다. 방사선 상에서 흉강은 흉수로 가득 차 있었다. 초음파 상에서는 양쪽 난소는 낭포성 변화가 관찰되었고 간에서 여러 개를 결절을 확인했다. 컴퓨터 단층 촬영에서 오른쪽 중간엽으로 들어가는 기관지의 허탈을 확인한 후에 거칠게 보였던 오른쪽 폐의 음영은 오른 중간엽 폐염전으로 진단되었다. 진단 5일후에 오른쪽 5번째 갈비뼈 사이로 접근하여 중간엽을 절제하였고 동시에 난소자궁적출술도 실시되었다. 병리조직학적 검사에서 양쪽 난소에서는 유두상 선암종이 나타났고, 중간엽에서는 난소에서 전이된 것으로 의심되는 선암종이 진단되었다. 환축은 2달동안 순조롭게 회복되었다. 그러나 4달 후에 환축은 호흡곤란으로 내원하였다. 방사선 상에서 흉수와 오른쪽 앞엽과 왼쪽 뒤엽이 허탈 되어 있었다. 그리고 흉수에서 전이로 의심되는 악성 상피종 세포가 관찰되었다. 보호자에게 항암 치료를 권해드렸으나 보류하셨고 환축은 퇴원하였다. 본 보고의 목적은 종양으로 인한 출혈성 흉수로 폐염전이 발생할 수 있는 드문 증례를 보고 하기 위함이다.

Organic farming is promoted financially in the Republic of Korea since 2000. The, entire segment shows a very dynamic development since that time. Now, a large bouquet of measures are offered which target the promotion of organic farming. This article presents a study about the Task and Valuation on farm animal welfare for Organic Livestock. Among the supports are grants for organically managed livestock farm, investment incentives, the promotion of organic livestock husbandry, the promotion of producer co-operatives, the development of farm animal right index for animal health and animal welfare, publicity measures and measures to raise consumer awareness as well as the support of training, extension and research in the field organic livestock farming. Government must ensure that necessary incentives and sanctions are in place to maintain and improve animal welfare standards and they must be delivered appropriately. Animal welfare legislation provides essential protection for economy, environment, animals and society as a whole, must be properly observed.

8개월령 말티스가 호흡곤란, 운동불내성의 증상으로 내원하였다. 흉부방사선상 환자는 심한심종대와 주폐동맥의 확장 소견을 보였고, 심초음파상 대동맥근이 우심실을 향하고 좌-우 단락을 가지고 있는 대동맥하 심실중격결손증이 확인되었다. 또한 중격결손에 의한 좌-우 단락성 혈류에 의해 폐혈관계에 과순환 소견과 폐성 고혈압에 의한 심한 폐동맥 역류가 (최고속도 4.7 m/s, 압력구배 ~88 mmHg) 확인되었다. 상기의 소견을 토대로 환자는 양대혈관 우심실기시로 진단되었다. 환자는 우심실의 혈량과부하를 줄이기 위한 이뇨제 처치(furosemide 1 mg/kg), 심장재구성을 늦추어주기 위해 spironolatcone (1 mg/kg) 및 enalapril (0.5 mg/kg) 처치와 폐의 과순환과 폐성 고혈압을 완화시켜주기 위해 sildenafil (1 mg/kg)를 처방하였다. 일주일뒤 재검에서 환자의 임상 증상은 크게 개선되었다. 현재 환자는 생존해 있고 정기적으로 모니터하고 있다.

Objective: This study was conducted to confirm the effect of physiotherapy on the balance and walking in dog with sciatic nerve injury and degenerative arthritis of stifle joints. Design: Single case study Methods: The dog walked abnormally for six months and was administrated in S animal hospital. The dog's right hindlimb was operated for cranial cruciate ligament repair and the dog had been taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic before being refered. There was severe degenerated osteoarthritis in the right hindlimb. During stance and walking, the right hindlimb was often shown partial weight bearing. The dog's left hindlimb was shown plantigrade stance and walking. The radiograph was shown an intact calcaneal tendon in the left hindlimb. In the neurologic examination, sciatic nerve injury in the left hindlimb was confirmed. The dog was treated using muscle strengthening, proprioceptive exercise, underwater treadmill and Laser therapy two, or three times a week for 3 months. At the 10th and 17th treatment, it was evaluated through stance and gait analyzer system to measure dog's balance and walking. Results: 3 months following physiotherapy, the dog's balance was improved in center of pressure(COP). And peak vertical force(PVF), vertical impulse(VI) was increased in right hindlimb and double stance was decreased. Conclusions: Physiotherapy may have improved the prognosis in this dog with severe osteoarthritis and sciatic nerve injury. This study suggested that animal physiotherapy is a valuable way to improve balance and walking.

The fused thoracic vertebra and deformity of the lumbar vertebrae in the female Thoroughbred horse were observed macroscopically. The 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae (T) were partially fused. They were composed of three parts between the spinous process of the 11th and 12th T, left and right caudal articular processes of the 11th T, and left and right cranial articular processes of the 12th T. The vertical surface of cranial articular process of the 11th T and left mamillary process of the 12th T were absent. The left caudal part of the transverse process of the 12th T and left costal fovea of the transverse process of the 12th T were severely deformed. On the other hand, the left transverse process of the first lumbar vertebra (L) was a typical rib-like transverse process and two times longer than the right transverse process of the 2nd L. The right transverse process of 4th L has an oval concave facet on the medial part of caudal border for articulation with the right transverse process of 5th L; the latter has a corresponding convex facet on the medial part of the cranial border in the right transverse process of the 5th L.

An 8-year-old female Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) reared in a wetland center, died 2 h after sudden onset of astasia and dyspnea despite medical treatment. Gross examination of internal organs revealed 10 adult filarioid nematodes in the right ventricle of the heart and three between the left and right cerebral hemispheres. All nematodes were identified as Dirofilaria immitis by direct microscopy and polymerase chain reaction assay. Histopathological observation revealed multifocal hemorrhage in the cerebral subarachnoid space and focal necrosis with hemorrhage in the cerebellar parenchyma. Although rare, veterinarians should consider cerebral dirofilariasis as a differential diagnosis in unexplained neurological cases.

The sacrum fused with ilium in a chinese water deer (Hydropotes inermis) was observed. The sacrum consists of four sacral vertebrae which was fused each other. In the ventral part of the fused pelvis, on the left, there was a 20.19 mm gap at the dorsolateral part of the sacroiliac articular part which is in between the promontory and the cranial border of the first ventral sacral foramen. On the right, there was a 14.34 mm gap at the dorsal part of sacroiliac articulation. In the dorsal view of the fused pelvis, the wing of sacrum and the wing of ilium were fused tightly, so that the boundary of the two bones was not recognizable. The left and right second dorsal sacral foramina and the third dorsal sacral foramen on the left were small. The third dorsal and ventral sacral foramina on the right were not formed.

An 8-year-old spayed female Maltese (2.5 kg of body weight) presented with the primary complaint of loud heart murmur and exercise intolerance. Diagnostic imaging revealed severe pulmonic stenosis (peak velocity 5.2 m/s) with right ventricular hypertrophy. The dog revisited after 2 years, at which time, diagnostic imaging revealed severe biventricular hypertrophy, dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, left atrial dilation and pulmonary hypertension with worsened pre-existing pulmonic stenosis. Postmortem investigation revealed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and regional myocardial infarction. The case was diagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy secondary to severe right and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

A 4-month-old intact male Sapsaree dog was referred due to a history of postprandial regurgitation following consumption of solid food. Thoracic radiography revealed focal leftward displacement of the thoracic trachea at T1 to T4 vertebrae levels. Barium contrast radiography revealed focal dilation of the cranial thoracic esophagus at the heart base level. Persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) with an aberrant left subclavian artery branching from the patent ductus arteriosus was diagnosed by computed tomography angiography (CTA). Although barium contrast radiography can presumptive diagnose PRAA, CTA should be considered for identifying additional vascular anomalies, specific types, and surgical planning.

A 6-month-old mature intact female Siamese cat presented with exertional dyspnea. Diagnostic studies revealed pleural effusion, grade 4/6 left basal systolic murmur, deep S-wave in electrocardiograph leads I, II, and III, cardiomegaly with pleural effusion on radiography, pulmonic systolic (~5.8 m/sec) and tricuspid (3.6 m/sec) regurgitant jets, atrial septal defect, and a hypoplastic right outflow tract. Based on these results, the case was diagnosed as pulmonic stenosis with atrial septal defect. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing pulmonic stenosis with atrial septal defect in a cat in Korea.
