Mammary cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in the bitch. It constitute 40 percent of all tumors in female dogs, which is three times higher than incidence of mammary tumors in humans[2]. Cytological differentiation between benign and malignant canine mammary tumors is difficult, however, an irregular chromatin pattern was reported to be a significant criterion for malignancy[1]. It can be estimated that approximately 30 percent of the surgically removed mammary tumors are malignant[4]. Malignant mammary tumors often have some degree of infiltrative/destructive growth into adjacent tissues and/or invasion of vessels. Malignant mammary tumors often metastasize into local lymph nodes and lungs, and less frequently into other organs[3]. Based on histological and cytological criteria, this case was diagnosed as tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland. (omitted)

Papillary cystadenocarcinoma is an uncommon ovarian neoplasm of domestic animals, with the possible exception of the bitch. In the horse ovary, it is rare as compared with benign epithelial tumors. This case reports the gross and histopathological finding of cystadenocarcinoma in a 10-year-old, clinically healthy Thoroughbred mare. (omitted)

For examination of antibiotic therapeutic efficacy in canine brucellosis, this examination was carried out two female bitches infected with Brucella canis in Gyeongbuk province, and used combicillin, baytril and doxycycline in susceptible antibiotics at B canis. During 18 month after the termination of antibiotic therapy, blood sample of the two bitches were examined for B canis antibody and antigen. The antibody of one bitch was disappeared at 5 month after antibiotic therapy and the other was continued at 18 month, but two bitches were not detected antigen by blood culture and PCR. Examination of blood chemical value (AST, ALT, urea, creatinine) of two bitches was increased in AST value during antibiotic therapy.

5 years Poodle was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University in January 1997, with progressive swelling on the rear xiphoid process after cesarean section last year in local-vet clinic. Physical, radiographic, ultrasonographic and intraoperative findings that were obtained from this case were as follow; Physical findings were known as no pain, no fever in the hernia] sal at palpation. Radiographic findings revealed the decreased density of swelling contents more than peritoneum and did not identify the abdominal wall defect line. Ultrasonographic findings showed abdominal wall defect line of 3mm and intra-abdominal originated fat contents with mixed echo(hypoechoic). During the operation, falciform ligament into the hernial sac was observed and not excised, manipulated back into the cavity. The dog was given an herniorraphy with no recurrence and infection.

A white-yellowish 5-7 cm sized solid mass was observed in the mammary gland of a 7 years old poodle bitch. Mass was well-defined and metastasis was not observed. In microscopic findings, mass contained hyperplasia of glandular epithelial cells, proliferation of mucin-secreting myoepithelial cells and their stroma and formation of cartilage and bone. Bone marrow with fat and hematopoietic cells was observed. Based on the microscopic findings, the mass was diagnosed as benign mixed tumor of the mammary gland in dog.

A 11-year, 9-month-old female Shih-tzu was referred for evaluation of the body conditions. According to the physical examination and ultrasonography, the left ovarian mass was detected. For the removal of ovarian mass, an ovariohysterectomy was performed. Grossly, the ovarian mass was full of hairmatrix on the cut surface of the mass. Histopathological findings revealed a characteristic of teratoma, such as laminated keratines, hair, sebaceous glands, neuron tissue, differentiated bone and cartilage. The ovarian mass was well-differentiated components of 2 germ layers, and diagnosed as a mature teratoma.

A 7-year-old, intact, female Siberian husky presented with vomiting and diarrhea after a fight with a dog with which it lived. The bitch was diagnosed with pyometra and severe dehydration. The patient received IV fluid therapy for 2 day pre- and post-operatively. Four days post-surgery, the patient had a decreased level of consciousness and suffered a tonic-clonic generalized seizure. On magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of laminar cortical necrosis caused by fluid overload was made. This case provides important information on the potential for fluid overload in a dehydrated patient giving rise to critical condition and death.

The aim of this study was to compare the plasma progesterone concentrations during gestation in 4 breeds of companion bitches. When Day 0 was timed the first male acceptance, plasma progesterone were 1.8 ± 0.4 ng/ml (Mean ± SD) at Day 0 and increased constantly with 58.5 ± 8.9 ng/ml a peak at Day 20. Thereafter plasma progesterone concentrations was decreased below 1.0 ng/ml with 0.7 ± 0.2 g/ml at Day 65. There were no statistically significant differences of plasma progesterone concentrations in the each day of gestation and in litter size among the companion bitches (p < 0.01). These results indicated that the plasma progesterone concentrations was useful method for estimating optimal breeding time, ovulation time, the time of onset of parturition, properly planned elective cesarean section and abortion time in companion bitches.

To confirm the accuracy of the prediction of parturition day, the actual parturition days were compared with each day of the prediction of parturition day (n = 80). The accuracy of the prediction of parturition day was 80.0% (64/80) with a precision of ± 2 days from the first day of estrus after the first vaginal discharge, 97.5% (78/80) from the day when plasma progesterone concentrations increase above 4.0 ng/ml, and 72.5% (58/80) from the first day of diestrus, respectively. The accuracy of the prediction of parturition day by plasma progesterone concentration was higher than that by the first day of estrus and diestrus after the first vaginal discharge. These results indicated that the determination of plasma progesterone concentrations at estrus were a useful method for estimating of parturition day and for the reproductive management in pregnant bitches.
