A 9-year-old male poodle dog exhibited a white to yellow 3.0$\times$2.0$\times$3.9 cm mass in the left testicle with cryptorchidism and monorchidism. Grossly, necrosis and hemorrhage were observed on the cut surface of the mass. Histopathologically the mass consisted of seminoma and sertoli cell tumor (SCT). Seminoma was characterized with diffuse solitary pattern in which tumor cells had polygonal nuclei and clear cell border. SCT was composed of compact neoplastic cells with small nuclei and indefinite cytoplasm. The tumor was occupied mainly with SCT. SCT and seminoma were observed occasionally in the same lesion. From these results, this case was diagnosed as concurrent seminoma and SCT in the left cryptorchidism and monorchidism. To our knowledge, this is the first report of concurrent occurrence of seminoma and SCT in a dog with cryptorchidism and monorchidism in Korea.

A 3-year old female Poodle dog was presented with a history of anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain and depression for 2 days. After physical and blood examination, excretory urogram(EU) and ultrasonography of the abjomen were conducted. On radiographs and ultrasonographs, dilation of diverticulum, sinus, proximal ureter of right kidney and mild dilation of left renal medullar were found. And there was some leakage of contrast agent in the proximal ureter area of right kidney. So this was diagnosed as a rupture of right proximal ureter. This dog was undertaken a surgery of nephrectomy of right kidney. On surgery, dilation of right kidney and hemorrhage, adhesion were found at the proximal ureter and some calculi were also found in the pelvis of right kidney. There were no complications after surgery.

The purpose of this study was to find anatomical variation of each small breed dog's dentition for designing more effective dental chews. Small breed dogs were volunteered for dental impressions with dental stone and alginate under tiletamine-zolazepam, tramadol, and medetomidine intravenous anesthesia. Twenty-two criteria were measured to compare dental impressions. Twenty-five dogs (9 Malteses, 8 Miniature Poodles, and 8 Shih-Tzus) were recruited. Statistically, Shih-Tzus had smaller teeth and shorter interdental spaces than those of Maltese and Miniature Poodles. Grossly, the distance between upper teeth and lower teeth was wider in Shih-Tzus. Shih-Tzu had different dental anatomy in comparative to Miniature Poodle and Maltese. It was recommended to design the dental chew considering these differences.

A 6-month-old castrated male poodle presented with a cough, dysphagia, and regurgitation. Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) was diagnosed by clinical history and a fluoroscopic examination. The animal received a botulinum toxin (BTX) injection but symptoms had not resolved by three days after injection. Thus, a cricopharyngeal and thyropharyngeal muscle myotomy was performed and immediately the clinical signs resolved. This report describes successful correction of CPA with myotomy after failure of BTX injection in a dog.

The three cases of cryptorchid are reported here in order to demonstrate the different surgical techniques that were carried out to remove crytochid testes in dogs and to introduce clinical cases on crytorchidism. Three dogs were presented in the clinic of Ecole Veterinaire de Lyon in May, 1998 with two in the left-sided unilateral abdominal cryptorchid and with one in bilateral inguinal mobile cryptorchid. There were two poodle at the age of more than 4 years old and 8 years old respectively with one boxer at 4 years old. In two abdominal cryptotchids, the skin was incised in caudal paramedian approach. Then, the linea alba were incised and cryptorchidectomy was peformed accompaning one with castration and the other with vasectomy by the request of the owners. In inguinal testicles, prescrotal skin incision was made to remove both testicles. The surgical outcome was good without any Their behaviors became agreeable as the proprietors reported. In the dog with vasectomy, the behavior changes were not noticeable.

An 11-year-old, toy poodle dog was presented with dermatologic lesions and mammary gland tumor (MGT) evaluation. A solitary, lobulated MGT (size $2.5{\times}3.5$ cm) was affecting the 5th left mammary gland. Firm, oval plaque skin lesions were present on the left dorsal carpal area. The skin lesions were alopecic and salivary staining. The dog had historical separation anxiety and excessive licking of skin lesions were observed. Based on the clinical and histopathologic examinations, MGT was diagnosed with mammary complex adenoma and the skin lesions were diagnosed with acral lick dermatitis. Behavior modification treatment using oral clomipramine was effective.

A four-year-old intact female poodle was referred with a history of ocular discharge and corneal ulcer to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. The dog was diagnosed severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) on bilateral eye. As the dog was not response to the ophthalmic medication, acupuncture treatment was applied to the dog. After 2 months from treatment, the dog was completely recovered from keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is suggested that traditional veterinary medicine might be effective alternative therapy for the patient with keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

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.
