  • This article discusses the nutritional requirements, reviews senior or geriatric dog nutritional evaluation, and then addresses some common nutrition-related problems in older dogs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Physiologic change associated with aging, essential nutrients and their diseases in senior or geriatric dog subjects. According to a 2002 market research, 30% to 40% of dogs raisedin the United States are 7 years of age. In Europe the number of dogs considered to be "senior or geriatric" (>7 years of age) increased by approximately 50% between 1983 and 1995. A 2012 e-mail survey of 50,347 respondents revealed that 33.2% of dogs were 6 to 10 years of age and 14.7% were older than 11 years in the United States. The average life expectancy of dogs raised in the home is affected by health care, aging and nutrition.And, the aging process is influenced by breed size, genetics, nutrition, environment, and other factors. Although many pets remain active and youthful well into their teens, most dogs start to slow down and may show signs of aging beginning as early as 5 or 6 years of age. Improvements in the control of various diseases and in the nutrition of dogs have resulted in a gradual increase in the average lifespan of companion dogs. Nutritional goals for aging dogs include supporting health and vitality, preventing the onset or slowing the progression of age-related health disorders, and enhancing the dog's quality of life and, if possible, life expectancy. Aging brings with its physiologicchanges. Some changes are obvious, such as whitening of hair, a general decline in body and coat condition, and failing senses including sight and hearing. Other changes are less obvious, however, and these include alterations in the physiology of the digestive tract, immune system, kidneys, and other organs. Nutritional requirements can change with age. In addition, many diseases common in older dogs may be nutrient-sensitive, meaning that diet can play an important role in the management of the condition.

  • 임상가들은 노령견에서 비정상적인 간효소의 변화를 무시해서는 않됩니다. 전신적 또는 대사적 질병에 대한 검사, bile acid 평가에서부터 좀더 직접적인 간 검사를 실시하고 간의 평가를 위한 체계적인 접근법이 필수적입니다.

  • The concentration of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in synovial fluid of normal stifle joint was investigated in order to establish a baseline data to distinguish between healthy joint and joint with injury of cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Twenty three mixed-breed healthy dogs free from joint diseases (fourteen adult and nine young) were used in this study. The dogs were sedated and synovial fluid was collected from the femoropatellar compartment of stifle joints by direct arthrocentesis. The concentration of TRAP in synovial fluid was determined using the method of Lang. The concentration of TRAP were $0.083{\pm}0.039$ IU/ml in adult dogs, $0.064{\pm}0.023$ IU/ml in young dogs, $0.075{\pm}0.028$ IU/ml in large dogs (>22 kg), $0.076{\pm}0.046$ IU/ml in small dogs (<22 kg), $0.085{\pm}0.036$ IU/ml in neutered dogs and $0.056{\pm}0.022$ IU/ml in intact dogs. The concentration of TRAP in the neutered dogs was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the intact dogs. This data can be used baseline data for a comparison with joint with injury of cranial cruciate ligament.

  • 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 애견 선진국들과 동일하게 국내에도 노령견이 지속적으로 증가하는 추세이며, 이에 따라 심혈관계 질환에 대해 관리 받는 환자들도 급속도로 늘어나고 있다. 임상 수의사로 근무하다 보면 오랫동안 돌봐오던 심혈관계 환자를 마취, 진정 또는 수술해야 하는 상황을 흔히 접하게 된다. "환자는 심혈관계 문제를 가지고 있으며, 마취는 반드시 필요하다. 임상 수의사인 나는 무엇을 해야 하는가 혹은 하지 말아야 한느가?"
