[Oral carcinoma in 34 dogs].

In a retrospective study, the epidemiologic data, treatment results and survival times of dogs with an oral squamous cell carcinoma in the period 1983-1996 have been reviewed, using the data base of the Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. The etiology of oral squamous cell carcinoma in dogs is unknown. For various reasons, such as extent of the disease, active treatment was undertaken in only 22 out of 34 dogs. Two dogs were lost during follow-up. Sixteen of the remaining 20 dogs who underwent surgical treatment for their oral squamous cell carcinoma were alive, one year postoperatively, apparently without tumour. Postoperative radiotherapy may even improve the survival rates.

Small size of food particles and age as risk factors for gastric dilatation volvulus in great danes.

A case-control study was conducted to investigate whether age, gender, neuter status, type of food, feeding frequency, food intake time, interval between feeding and exercise, duration of exercise and overall physical activity were risk factors for gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV) in the great dane. The sample population consisted of 38 great danes with acute GDV (cases) and 71 great danes owned by members of the Dutch Great Dane Association (controls). Information on the risk factors was collected by using clinical data in combination with a questionnaire, and the data were analysed by backward stepwise conditional logistic regression analysis. Dogs fed a diet containing particles of food > 30 mm in size (kibble and/or dinner and/or home-prepared food with large pieces of meat) had a lower risk of GDV than dogs fed a diet containing only particles < 30 mm in size (kibble or dinner and/or canned meat and/or home-prepared food cut into small pieces or ground in a food processor). Increasing age was also a risk factor for GDV. Gender, neuter status, feeding frequency, food intake time, the interval between feeding and exercise, the duration of exercise, and overall physical activity were not identified as risk factors. Feeding a diet including large pieces of meat may help to reduce the incidence of GDV in great danes.

[Achilles tendon injuries in dogs; a case report].

On the basis of a case-report of a eighteen months old Bordeaux Dog bitch the diagnostical procedures, differential diagnoses and surgery of the luxation of the tendon of the M. Flexor digitorum superficialis are reviewed. Therapy includes surgical reconstruction of the retinaculum of the tendon on the tuber calcanei. Immobilisation postoperatively by means of a splint during 3 weeks followed by a Robert-Jones bandage for another 3 weeks is essential. Treatment was successful and the dog returned to full function.
