چکیده
A case is presented of a specified pathogen free bred cat which was apparently tail-less at birth and at three weeks of age revealed hind limb paralysis. The animal was euthanized at 4 weeks and X-radiography revealed an abnormal spinal curvature, greatly reduced caudal vertebrae and abnormal pelvic development. A small tail was dissected at post-mortem, but other abnormalities were not seen.

At 25-45 days post-lesion about 50% of lizards were capable of walking with a limited coordination. Histological analysis showed that the spinal cord was transected and the ependyma of the central canal formed two enlargements to seal the proximal an...

متن کاملRingtail in new-born Norway rats; a study of the effect of environmental temperature and humidity on incidence.
Ringtail is a pathological condition in rats bred in the laboratory. It appears about 2 days after birth as a series of annular constrictions of the tail, which become more severe with increasing oedema between them. The skin on the hind legs and posterior dorsal region often desquamates. By the second week, the distal part of the tail is inflamed and baemorrhagic, and its attachment is dry and...
متن کاملStimulation of 5-HT2A receptors recovers sensory responsiveness in acute spinal neonatal rats.
Quipazine is a 5-HT2A-receptor agonist that has been used to induce motor activity and promote recovery of function after spinal cord injury in neonatal and adult rodents. Sensory stimulation also activates sensory and motor circuits and promotes recovery after spinal cord injury. In rats, tail pinching is an effective and robust method of sacrocaudal sensory afferent stimulation that induces m...
