Abstract

An 18-month-old intact male Cocker Spaniel dog weighing 7.7 kg was referred with a 2-week history of severe regurgitation. Based on the screening examination and fluoroscopy, this patient was diagnosed as having esophageal dysmotility. Treatment with mosapride and feeding small amounts of canned food frequently in an elevated position resulted in a successful outcome. The severe regurgitation improved, and the esophageal transit time improved from 18 sec to 8 sec. This is the first case report describing the diagnosis and clinical management of esophageal dysmotility in a young dog in Korea.

1년 6개월령 몸무게 7.7 kg의 수컷 Cocker Spaniel이 일주일 동안 지속된 역류성 구토를 주 증으로 진료 의뢰되었다. 기본 검사와 X선 투시진단법을 통해 식도운동성 저하로 진단하였다. 치료약물로는 mosapraide를 투여하였고, 습식 사료를 소량씩 자주 일어선 자세로 급여하는 방법을 통해 치료하였다. 3개월 후 재검사에서 임상증상의 개선과 X선 투시진단법 상 식도운동성의 개선이 있었으며, 첫 내원 시 식도 통과 시간이 18초였던 것에서 8초까지로 개선되었다. 본 케이스는 식도거대증을 동반하지 않으면서, 운동성만 저하된 질병으로 한국에서는 첫 보고이다.
