  • A 4-year-old male Miniature Pinscher was referred because of head tilt, nystagmus, and ataxia. The hemogram revealed a moderate neutrophilic leukocytosis. On magnetic resonance imaging, cerebellar inflammation was detected. And cerebrospinal fluid analysis indicated marked neutrophilic pleocytosis. Based on these results, bacterial meningoencephalitis was suspected. The clinical signs were well controlled by a combination antibiotics therapy of the third generation cephalosporins (cefotaxime and cefixime) and metronidazole. We tentatively diagnosed this case as a bacterial meningoencephalitis because clinical signs were improved after only antibiotics therapy and relapsed when stopped antibiotics administrations, even though the result of bacterial culture on communication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was negative.

  • A 14-month-old, neutered female Miniature Pinscher was referred due to severe renal failure. The dog was treated with hysterotomy and followed by ovariohysterectomy (OHE) 6 days before the presentation. Excretory urographic and ultrasonographic studies revealed bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis. Postmortem necropsy revealed that ligatures were placed around the caudal portion of bilateral ureters in front of entrance into the bladder. This case shows that identifying and protecting the ureters are important during hysterotomy with OHE as well as OHE.

  • One four-month-old female shepherd mongrel dog with chief complaints of abdominal distension and dysponea was referred. The authors performed physical examination, hematological examination, X-ray examination, exploratory laparotomy, electrocardiography and angiography as antemortem investigation in addition to postmortem examination. This patient revealed complicated congenital cardiac anormaly including patent ductus arteriosus, both atrial and ventricular hypertrophy, distension in the base of the pulmonary artery, pulmonary stenosis, aortic insufficiency, patent foramen ovate and coronary arteriovenous fistula.

  • A 1-year and 6-month-old, intact male, Shih-tzu dog was referred to the Konkuk University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, due to ascite, melena, severe anemia, and polyuria/polydipsia. Complete blood count showed moderate leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, monocytosis, and microcytic hypochromic nonregenerative anemia. On serum biochemistry profiles, hypoalbuminemia and hypoproteinemia were observed, and proteinuria was detected on urinalysis. Pleural effusion and mild ascites were noted in radiological findings, and bilateral nephromegaly was noted on ultrasonography. Babesia gibsoni was detected by PCR. Babesiosis and glomerular disease was treated at a time with prednisolone and buparvaquone. This therapeutic regime was very efficacious and clinical sings were rapidly improved. Proteinuria and severe anemia were disappeared following therapy.

  • A male mixed-breed dog of unknown age was presented with a history of bloody diarrhea and cachexia. Toxocara canis in vomitus was identified by a parasitologist. Hematology revealed low hematocrit, eosinophilia, and low albumin. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an enlarged pulmonary artery with an irregular wall, micronodules in the lung, and vicarious excretion of contrast medium to small intestine. CT scan was helpful for identifying lung lesions and the central organs of larval migration and also show vicarious excretion of contrast medium to the small intestine in T. canis infection.
