A- and B-modes echobiometry in cataractous and noncataractous eyes of English Cocker Spaniel dogs

چکیده
Aand B-modes ultrasonographic changes in the thickness of various structures of the eyeball in male and female English Cocker Spaniel dogs with and without nondiabetic cataracts were evaluated. Sixteen dogs with cataracts (32 eyes) and seven normal dogs (14 eyes) older than eight years were selected. Aand B-modes ultrasonography was performed with a 10MHz transducer. Data was statistically evaluated by one way ANOVA. Mean and standard deviations of various ocular structures for dogs with and without cataracts were, respectively, anterior chamber: 3.041±0.828mm, 3.373±1.040mm; lens: 6.817±1.117mm, 7.062±0.477mm; vitreous: 10.056±0.754mm, 9.523±0.705mm; and axial length: 19.909±1.103mm, 19.958±1.050mm. Ocular measurements between right and left eyes, males and females, as well as in eyes with and without cataract were not different (P>0.05).

متن کاملSurvey of otitis externa in American Cocker Spaniels in Finland
BACKGROUND American Cocker Spaniels are overrepresented among breeds that require surgery as a treatment of end-stage otitis externa.

متن کاملSry-negative XX sex reversal in purebred dogs.
The gene responsible for testis induction in normal male mammals is the Y-linked Sry. However, there is increasing evidence that other genes may have testis-determining properties. In XX sex reversal (XXSR), testis tissue develops in the absence of the Y chromosome. Previous polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays indicated that autosomal recessive XXSR in the American cocker spaniel is Sry-nega...
