Clinical studies on progressive retinal atrophy in 31 dogs

During a 2-year period, 31 cases of a hereditary retinal degeneration in dogs bred in India were found mainly suspected for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) with typical history of initial nyctalopia followed by hemeralopia. Out of 31 PRA suspected dogs, 8 dogs (26%) were from the age group of 1-5 years, 15 (48%) 6-10 years and the rest (26%) 11-15 years. The most predominant breed was Spitz (...

Studies on left atrial automaticity in dogs.

The site of origin and the sequence of atrial activation were studied in 21 open-chested dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. Bipolar plunge electrodes were used to record atrial electrograms simultaneously with surface lead II and His bundle electrogram. In sinus rhythm the sinus node was activated first, followed sequentially by Bachmann's bundle, right atrial appendix, left atrial ap...

Studies on the Mammary Tumors of Dogs

Spontaneous mammary tumors occur in middle aged or senile dogs and are of three principal pathological types; a diffuse epithelial and connective tissue overgrowth often with associated cartilage and bone; solid masses of epithelial cells; intracystic papillomatous tumors.
