A 1.3 year-old Castrated male Bedlington terrier (10.0 kg of body weight) was presented with heart murmur and occasional coughing. Diagnostic imaging studies revealed supravalvular pulmonic stenosis (maximal velocity 2.91 m/s) from abnormal membranous structure (aperture) distal to the pulmonary valve in the main pulmonary artery. Further study also revealed pulmonic regurgitant (1.82 m/s of peak velocity, 13.2 mmHg of pressure gradient) jets started from the abnormal membranous structure. Since the dog had no obvious clinical signs related to heart failure, no interventional therapy including balloon dilation was considered in this case. Instead, medical treatment for preventing further deterioration of clinical signs related to PS was done with enalapril. This case report described a rare case of type III supravalvular PS in a dog, which has never been reported. Further deterioration of clinical signs has yet been recognized after medical treatment.

A four-year-old female Jindo dog was admitted to the hospital because of bilaterally symmetrical alopecia and inappentence. Systemic abnomalities detected on physical examination were obesity, bradycardia, exercise intolerance, mental dullness and hypothermia. Dermatologically symmetrical alopecia on the back, trunk and dorsal tail, and ventral hyperpigmentation were observed. Also face was very tragic. The level of basal $T_4$ was 0.01ug/dl. In TSH stimulation test $fT_4$ value was 0.08ng/dl. After treatment was initiated with L-thyroxine the dog's general condition was improved at 4 weeks.

A gingival mass was detected from a 1-year-old female Great Dane dog. After surgical removal, the lesions recurred in 2 weeks and died of septicemia. Characteristic histologic features were large numbers of multinucleated giant cells which were connected with capillary vessels. Neovascularization was prominent with mononuclear and polynuclear cell infiltration. Overall features of these lesions except for giant cell infiltration were similar to granuloma. From these results, a gingival mass excised from a dog was diagnosed to be a peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG). This is the first report of canine subcutaneous PGCG in Korea.

A 9-year-old female mixed breed dog was presented due to cluster seizure episode. A mass in the frontal lobe was noted on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The dural tail sign was identified on contrast MR images. Based on MRI findings, intracranial meningioma was suspected strongly. The patient's symptom was controlled well by a combination therapy of hydroxyurea and prednisolone, and survived for fourteen months after diagnosis. This case report demonstrated that the clinical findings, imaging characteristics of a dog with suspected intracranial meningioma and long-term survival after hydroxyurea plus prednisolone therapy.

국내 반려동물 양육 가구 수는 매년 증가하고 있으며, 주거지 주변에서 반려견을 산책시키거나 가까운 공원을 찾아 운동하는 반려인들도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 반려인들을 대상으로 근린생활권 내에서의 반려견 산책활동 현황 및 물리적 환경 만족도를 파악하고, 반려견 운동공간인 반려견 놀이터에 대한 지불의사를 조사하는 것이다. 총 249명의 온라인 설문 응답자 중 47.8%가 하루 최소 1회 이상 산책을 하며, 주로 집 주변 산책로나 공원을 이용한다고 응답하였다. 응답자들은 반려견과의 높은 애착도를 나타냈으며, 반려견 산책이 반려견뿐 아니라 양육자 본인의 신체활동과 건강유지에도 도움이 된다고 인식하고 있었다. 한편, 산책로 주변 흥미로운 볼거리, 연결성 등 반려견 산책을 위한 근린생활권의 환경 만족도는 낮은 편이었으며, 목줄 없이 반려견들이 운동할 수 있는 반려견 놀이터 조성에 대한 요구가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 반려견 놀이터의 가치는 지불의사금액의 절단된 평균을 기준으로 할 경우 85,618원으로 추정되었다. t-검정과 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 산책 빈도와 반려견 시설에 대한 만족도가 지불의사금액에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반려견 산책을 통한 신체활동 증진을 위해서는 근린생활권 내 반려견 산책 환경개선에 대한 관심과 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A 14-year-old, 7.4 kg, neutered male mongrel dog presented with vomiting, anorexia, and hematuria starting 3 days prior to admission. Serum biochemical profiles indicated severe azotemia. Computed tomography revealed loss of normal left kidney structure. The organ was 1.5 to 2 times larger than the right kidney with mixed attenuation. Histopathologic examination was performed after nephrectomy. The renal mass and mesenteric membrane were positive for vimentin and stained blue with Masson's trichrome. In conclusion, this was a rare occurrence of primary renal fibrosarcoma, most likely originated from the renal capsule, with local invasion into the mesenteric membrane.

Two dogs were referred due to vomiting, depression and anorexia after ingestion of xylitol gum. Both dogs were presented with hepatic failure and one dog had concurrent renal failure. Aggressive supportive treatment was performed, but these dogs died. Necropsy of one dog revealed acute hepatic necrosis, severe renal damages, and hemoperitoneum. This case report demonstrates potential hazard of xylitol toxicity for dogs with clinicopathological and pathological findings.

A Miniature Schnauzer presented with bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge and sneezing. Computed tomography of the skull revealed exudates in the nasal cavity and frontal gyrus. Nasal swab cytology showed features of an epithelial-origin tumor. Histopathologic evaluation of the biopsy specimen revealed irregular proliferation of epithelial cells and necrotized tissue. Positive immunohistochemical staining confirmed the epithelial origin of the cells. The dog was diagnosed with nasal carcinoma and was treated with a chemotherapy protocol of carboplatin and piroxicam. This report confirms the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy only without radiotherapy in a dog with nasal carcinoma and provides a guideline for providing alternative treatment.

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare pustular skin disorder of dogs. Dapsone is treatment of choice, but ineffective in some cases. Therapeutic alternatives are limited and less effective. In humans, successful results with oral retinoid have been reported. To describe successful treatment of a dog that developed SPD with acitretin as an alternative drug of dapsone. A 7-year-old male neutered miniature schnauzer was presented with generalized pustules and crusts. SPD was diagnosed based on physical, cytological, and histopathological examination with direct immunofluorescence test. In this report, we describe a case of canine SPD treated initially by dapsone with poor response that improved with acitretin. Acitretin could be considered as an alternative drug in canine SPD.

An 11-year-old spayed female Maltese dog presented with mass in oral cavity. On conscious oral examination, the right maxillary canine tooth was not visible, and a lesion has been suspected of mass existed in canine tooth area. The adjacent maxillary first premolar was buried in the lesion, with a little part of the tooth exceptions. On radiographic examination, the canine tooth was buried horizontally in the lesion, and the root part was adjacent to the first premolar tooth. Extraction was performed for a treatment. When the lesion was incised, the canine tooth was horizontal with the concave surface facing the palatal, and formed double teeth by fusing with the premolar tooth at the roots parts of the teeth. This report described the double teeth in the dentigerous cyst rarely reported in dogs.
