Canine perineal tumours.

Use of canine small intestinal submucosa allograft for treating perineal hernias in two dogs

Here, we describe two dogs in which canine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was implanted as a biomaterial scaffold during perineal herniorrhaphy. Both dogs had developed severe muscle weakness, unilaterally herniated rectal protrusions, and heart problems with potential anesthetic risks. Areas affected by the perineal hernia (PH) located between the internal obturator and external anal sphinct...

Therapeutic Evaluation of Methotrexate with or without Cox-2 Inhibitor in the Management of Canine Mammary Tumours

Spontaneously occurred canine mammary tumours (55) were treated with chemotherapy (Methotrexate), combination chemotherapy with COX-2 inhibitor (Meloxicam) and by surgical therapy. In chemotherapy groups Hb and TEC values reduced significantly (P<0.05) from the base line value at 3rd week of therapy. Histologically, benign and malignant mixed mammary tumours were predominant. Methotrexate and C...

Canine perineal hypospadias

Canine hypospadias is a rare condition that can occur in male and female dogs.

Frequency of Canine Testicular Tumors: Study on 100 Dogs

Testicular tumours occur both in canine and human species. However, while the incidence of these tumours in man is has been constantly investigated and demonstrated an increase during last decades, a few data is published about the frequency of testicular tumours in canine species. The present study attempts to give an up-date on the frequency of testicular tumours in dogs. The histological exa...
