A 3-year-old castrated male Maltese dog, weighing 4.8 kg was referred with hindlimb ataxia and right forelimb proprioceptive deficits were shown for 20 months. Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia diagnosed through MRI at a local animal hospital and Knuckling of right forelimb and reluctance to walk were managed with steroid. The medical management was getting ineffective to manage for the symptoms one month before referred. Physical and neurological examinations, radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and diagnoses of caudal occipital malformation syndrome (COMS) and subsequent syringomyelia (SM) were made. Given that pharmacological treatment was previously ineffective, surgical intervention was recommended. Foramen magnum decompression with duraplasty using $Lyoplant^{(R)}$ was performed. Three days post-surgery, the dog showed improved gait and activity. After 2 months, the dog received no additional prescription medications. At the 12-month follow-up after surgery, the dog showed no clinical problems or recurrences, despite complete cessation of pharmacological treatment. In present report, we applied $Lyoplant^{(R)}$ as a dural graft has been carried out in a dog with COMS. Surgical decompression with $Lyoplant^{(R)}$ was an effective long-term (12-month) treatment for COMS without the need for any pharmacological treatment.

A 3-year-old male Maltese dog(weighing 2.5 kg) was referred with an excessive movement of mandible and depression. Comprehensive diagnostic investigation revealed an end-stage of renal disease with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The renal allograft was performed after the condition of dog was stabilized by hemodialysis and medical treatment. After transplantation, the renal function of this dog was returned to normal. thereafter, the dog died suddenly without apparent clinical signs. The subsequent pathological studies revealed the actual etiology of death was not clearly identified However acute pancreatitis caused by abrupt introduction of food after prolonged luting might be involved in the etiology. This case study showed the necessity of pancreatic function test in postoperative management after renal transplantation.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to observe the compressive fracture strength of the crown according to the direction of the occlusal force of the mandibular canine and carnassial of the small dog. Methods: The abutment models of mandibular canine and carnassial were prepared, specimens of zirconia, PMMA and Ni-Cr alloy were produced. The experimental jig was fabricated with Co-Cr alloy and buried in acrylic resin after make tilt to specified angle. The specimen was attached to a jig and loaded using a universal testing machine until the specimen fractured. Results: The compressive fracture strengths of CXZ and CXP specimens were found to be 999.21 ± 31.15 N on average and 731.42 ± 59.13 N on average. And CZZ and CZP specimens were 730.48 ± 70.14 N on average and 377.65 ± 11.87 N on average. CXN and CZN specimens were not fractured. In addition, MZZ and MZP specimens were 746.46 ± 50.75 N and 258.64 ± 31.86 N on average. The MZN specimens were not fractured. Conclusion: Zirconia has compressive fracture strength that can be applied to small dog's canine and Carnassial prosthetics, while PMMA has inadequate strength to small dog's carnassial prosthesis.

A 12-years-old Maltese (castrated male) dog with jaundice and purulent discharge from the shoulder was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. A physical and laboratory examination revealed that the mucosa of the conjunctiva and the sclera were icteric, and the liver functional enzyme level and the total bilirubin level were increased. Duodenal caudal deviation caused by suspected masses in diameter of about 2 cm was shown by radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations. Using fine needle aspiration (FNA) and computed tomography (CT), the dog was diagnosed with alimentary lymphoma. The dog was treated with chemotherapy. Hematuria was discovered and dysuria occurred because of sterile hemorrhagic cystitis, which is a unique complication resulting from the use of cyclophosphamide.

The karyotype of the domestic dog is widely accepted as one of the difficult mammalian karyotypes to work. In contrast to many other animals, knowledge about the canine karyotype is quite sparse. The dog has a total of 78 chromosomes; all 76 autosomes are acrocentric in morphology and show only a gradual decrease in length. But appear to be quite small and difficult to identify unambiguously. To purchased standardization of chromosome in Korea native dog, there were analyzed by conventional trypsin/Giemsa staining (GTG-banding techniques), and were compared with 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 17 chromosome. There were no variations in karyotypes which were analyzed by conventional GTG-banding techniques, but differences were observed in G-banding patterns with Sapsaree, Jindo, Gyeongju DongGyeong dogs, Welshi-Corgi. It is not clear that these disagreements in G-banding patterns between strains of dog were caused by chromosome polymorphism or a difference in interpretation. Comparative analysis of the distribution patterns of conserved segments defined by dog paints in the genomes of the Korea native dogs demonstrates that their differences in the karyotypes of these three species could have resulted from acrocentric banding patterns.

An 11-year-old, 4.3 kg, mixed breed, intact female dog exhibiting vomiting and a reduced appetite was presented. On physical examination, palpation of the right kidney elicited discomfort. Blood analysis revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia, and elevation of alkaline phosphatase and blood urea nitrogen. Escherichia coli was detected in urine culture, whereas urine analysis showed absence of glucose. Radiography and ultrasonography suggested that there was gas in the right renal parenchyma, and computed tomography was performed while the dog was awake to investigate the suspected gas in the right kidney. After unilateral ureteronephrectomy, a histological diagnosis of right emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) was made. EPN refers to a severe necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma with gas accumulation in the tissue. It is rare in both human and veterinary medicine, and almost all EPN patients have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. This case report describes the imaging-based diagnosis of a rare occurrence of unilateral EPN in a non-diabetic dog.

The prevailing discipline notes that primary pulmonary angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor with almost grave prognosis when presented in a dog. No cases have been reported earlier as occurring in dogs. This is the first time we are reporting a case of primary lung angiosarcoma in a 12-year-old Yorkshire terrier breed dog, that will explore the clinical as well as histopathological features of the tumor as noted in a dog. In this case, radiography revealed a well-defined large soft tissue mass in the caudo-dorsal lung field across the left hemi-thorax. After necropsy, it is noted that the lung was found to have the blood-filled nodular lesions on its surface, as determined with no such lesions on other organs. Upon the histological examination, it showed the presence of an extensive necrotic hemorrhage with anastomosing vascular space. Later, the immunohistochemistry showed strongly positive CD31 cells confirming the endothelial origin of the tumor. This is the first report of canine primary lung angiosarcoma in the Republic of Korea.

A two-year-old, intact male, 45 kg Doberman Pinscher was referred with dermal nodular lesions affecting the left hindlimb. The cytological examination revealed eosinophilic inflammation. Skin biopsy specimens showed canine eosinophilic granuloma (CEG). The dog was administered oral prednisolone (1.5 mg/kg/day) and azathioprine (2 mg/kg/day). After one week, the skin lesions diminished dramatically, but the dog presented with severe watery diarrhea. The prednisolone dose was reduced by 0.9 mg/kg/day. The lesions and diarrhea improved markedly after one week. Prednisolone was tapered by 25% of the previous dose every week to 0.2 mg/kg/day. Azathioprine was also reduced to therapy every other day. After seven weeks of combination treatment, the medications were withdrawn, but the dog had a recurrence one week later. Azathioprine (2 mg/kg/EOD) was reintroduced for two weeks. There was no relapse after all the medications had been withdrawn. This case indicates that CEG can be managed with prednisolone and azathioprine. Azathioprine may be an effective adjunctive immunosuppressive agent, and may be considered as a well-tolerated prednisolone sparing agent to treat CEG.
