[Rhinoscopy in dogs and cats].

Rostral and caudal rhinoscopy in dogs and cats facilitates the investigation of the nasal cavity and accurate biopsy. Rostral rhinoscopy can be performed by rigid endoscopes; caudal rhinoscopy requires flexible endoscopes. Deep anaesthesia or additional analgesia with local anaesthesia is necessary. The nasal cavity is assessed by its form, colour, surface of the mucous membrane, hyperemia, plaques, lesions, and the secretion is assessed by its quantity, colour and viscosity. Foreign bodies and neoplasia must also be looked for. Case reports with abnormal findings are described.

Bronchoscopy enables the surgeon to take samples of bronchial discharge.

[Comparison of the intradermal and prick tests for diagnosis of allergy in the dog].

The diagnosis of allergic dermatitis and respiratory disease is increasing in veterinary practice. Searching for the initiating allergen(s) can be done with several kinds of dermal tests. In four healthy dogs and in 18 patients with a dermal or respiratory allergy problem the intradermal and prick tests were compared. Intradermal test reactions were readily identifiable and correlated well with anamnestic investigations. The prick tests generally did not give easily interpretable reactions.
