An eight-month old female mixed breed dog was presented to the at Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital, for tarsocrural arthrodesis. Previously the dog had been presented to a local animal clinic. Orthopedic and blood examinations were conducted. There was absent response of conscious proprioception on the right tarsocrural articulation. The dog stood knuckled onto the digits and had hock dropped but showed normal values in WBC, RBC, Hb, PCV, BUN, creatine, glucose, cholesterol, AST and ALT analyses. The dog was anesthetized and prepared for aseptic surgery. Steinmann pin and Joshi external fixators were applied(bilaterally). 11 weeks after the operation, the external fixators were removed from the bones. The hock dropped was well stabilized, but mild knuckling of distal metatarsopharangeal joint was remained.

A 9-month-old, female, mixed-breed dog was presented with dyspnea, exercise intolerance and a left apical heart murmur. Echocardiography revealed mitral systolic regurgitant flow by morphological abnormalities of the mitral apparatus including dilated annulus, excessively asymmetric mitral leaflets, short and stout chordae tendinae, and atrophic papillary muscles. The dog was diagnosed with congenital mitral dysplasia based on the echocardiographic features. Two months later, the dog died and the echocardiographic findings were confirmed by necropsy. This case report describes the echocardiographic features of mitral dysplasia with papillary muscle atrophy, and compares the gross necropsy findings in a dog.

We performed post-operative hemodynamic evaluation and lung perfusion scan after left lung transplantation in dog. The heart & lungs were extracted from donor dog while the both lungs were flushed with 4oC Euro-Collin`s solution after heparinization & infusion of prostaglandin E1.In the recipient dog, anastomosis of the left atrial cuff was performed by continuous 4-0 Prolene everted suture, and bronchial anastomosis by telescope method with 4-0 Prolene continuous suture. The end-to-end anastomosis of left main pulmonary arteries was performed with continuous 6-0 Prolene suture. After closure of left thoracotomy incision, the lung perfusion scan was performed post operative 2 days for evaluation of the function of the transplanted lung which showed good perfusion. The dog was sacrificed in the post-operative 5 days for autopsy.

Purpose: This study introduces the production process of dog's dental prosthesis using an automated dental prosthetics technology. The occlusal interaction of dog's dental prosthesis was observed. Methods: This study was proceeded with dog's the mandibular first molar teeth. The 3D CAD designed to 3D model specimens was observed by CAD software. and The specimens designed to 3D model specimens was observed occlusal interaction by using articulator. Results: Occlusal contact point in prosthetic specimens were observed in buccal surface. and 98% of the size of the crown is the best occlusal relationship. Conclusion: Observation of occlusal relations result to 98% of the size of the crown is the best.

He showed convulsive spasms of skeletal muscles, raised tail-head, and rigidity of rigidity. Based on these clinical sign\ulcorner tetanus was suspected Hematological test results showed and WBC value (21 ,800/$\mu$l/) with neutrophils (17.877/$\mu$l) and monocytes (1.744/$\mu$l). The blood chemical values ALT (86 IU/L) and AST (119 IU/L) were elevated. Fecal sample from the dog was cultured in anaerobic chamber. A Gram positive, drumstick shaped bacteria was isolated. The bacteria was identified as Clostridium tetani by biological and biochemical tests. The dog was hospitalized in a quiet place where the light was cut off and treated with penicillin G procaine and phenobarbital sodium. The dog made a complete recovery 25 days after treatment. This Is the first report on C. tetani infection of domestic dog in Korea.

A female 8-year-old Pug weighing 7.3 kg and a female 10-year-old Maltese dog weighing 3.5 kg showing anorexia and vomiting for a few weeks were referred to Veterinary Medical leaching Hospital, Seoul National University. Radiographic findings were an enlarged right kidney in a pug dog and a radiopaque material on the right ureteral region lateral to the third lumbar vertebrae with indefinite right kidney contour in a Maltese dog, repectively. Excretory urography performed in a Pug dog revealed a poor opacified enlarged right kidney with absent of pelvic recesses and pelvic dilation with proximal ureteral dilation on contralateral kidney. Ultrasonographic findings were enlarged kidney with dilated pelvis and echogenic sediment within the medulla in both dogs and especially an engorged proximal ureter and a thin rim of functional renal tissue remains in a Maltese dog. Those diagnostic findings indicated high possibility of pyelonephritis and these were confirmed by pathologic examination. Radiography and ultrasonography, although not giving final diagnosis for pyelonephritis, are useful for assessment and diagnosis of pyelonephritis.
