A 7-month-old 8.2 kg female Siberian Husky with history of exercise intolerance, delayed growth, and tachypnea was presented to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kyungpook National University. A holosystolic murmur was identified in cardiac ausculation. In electrocardiography, thoracic radiographs, and ultrasonography, a right axis deviation, enlarged right ventricle, stenotic main pulmonary artery, large ventricular septal defect, marked right ventricle hypertrophy, and overriding aorta with dilation were identified. The color Doppler examination showed the left-to-right shunting of blood via interventricular septal defect and the blood flow streams converging from the right and left ventricles into the aorta. The dog was diagnosed as tetralogy of Fallot. The current state of the dog is well-tolerated without any specific medication.

5개월령의 거세하지 않은 암컷 시베리안 허스키가 상악 병변의 평가를 위해 내원하였다. CBC, 혈청 화학, 요검사 소견에서 염증과 신부전이 지시되었다. 병변의 세포학 검사에서는 거대 다핵 세포들과 원형$\sim$방추형의 다향한 모양의 세포들이 개별적으로 탈락되거나 군집을 형성하였다. 두 종류의 세포들 모두 중등도의 핵 대소부동증과 세포부동증을 보였고, 뚜렷한 한 개의 핵소체 또는 여러 개의 작은 핵소체를 갖고 있었으며 성긴 염색질이었다. 조직병리학적 검사 결과, 상악과 비갑개는 전반적으로 확장되어 있었으며 결합조직에 의해 대체되어 있었으며 신장에서는 형성 이상이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 신장형성이상과 섬유화로 인한 섬유성 골형성장애로 진단되었다. 대증적인 처치에도 불구하고 환자의 상태는 악화되어 안락사 되었다.

A 3-year-old castrated male Siberian husky was presented for evaluation after being hit by a car. On physical examination, the dog showed open-mouth, displacement of mandible and hypersalivation with blood ting. The base of tongue was transected almost 80% on the bias from right dorsal side to the left ventral side. Radiography demonstrated separation of mandible symphysis, and fracture of right condyle and vertical ramus. After debridement of the necrotic tissue, tongue apposition with simple interrupted suture was performed. Mandibular symphysis, condyle and mandibular vertical ramus fractures were fixed using pin, cerclage wire, T-plate, and K-wires. The mouth was irrigated daily using chlorhexidine after surgery. The sutures that were loose here or untied at tongue were re-sutured under sedation. The transected tongue was healed and recovered its normal movement after 6 weeks.

Differences between left and right-side joint range of motion may affect canine locomotive ability and movement. Passive range of motion (PROM) joint measurement provides the limits that a particular joint can move in its physiological planes of motion without influence of muscle activity. To compare left and right-side flexion and extension of the glenohumeral, humeroulnar/humeroradial, coxofemoral and femorotibial joints and for laterality PROM differences. Siberian Husky dogs were selected (n = 18), mixed gender, aged (1.4-11.8) years living and working together. Goniometry measured joint PROM, a validated, non-invasive method. Dogs were conscious and placed in standing position. Triplicate measures of joint flexion and extension were taken bilaterally of each dog for afore-mentioned joints. Median values of triplicate measures were computed. Paired t-tests compared laterality of joint PROM, gender, age (< 6 vs. ≥ 6 years) effects. Inferential symmetry indices [SI] were calculated. For all joints, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between left and right-side flexion and extension measures nor between genders. Age (< 6 vs. ≥ 6 years) had a significant effect on right hip flexion (p < 0.001); both left and right-side shoulder flexion (p < 0.001); elbow flexion (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001); hip extension (p = 0.02 and p < 0.001) respectively. The shoulder joint showed greatest PROM asymmetry (SI = 3.63%). Bilateral PROM measures are important to consider in joint movement and assessment. These results warrant further investigation with larger cohorts of defined age groups.

14년 령의 중성화 하지 않은 수컷 Siberian Husky는 1개월 전부터 혈뇨, 기면, 식욕부진을 보였다. 신체검사상 복부 팽만과 통증을 확인할 수 있었다. 혈액 및 혈청 화학 검사상 빈혈과 질소혈증을 확인할 수 있었다. 방사선 검사 상 신장의 비대를 확인할 수 있었으며 초음파 검사 상 피수질의 경계가 불분명하며 피질의 에코가 증가한 신장을 확인할 수 있었다. 뇨검사 상에서는 혈뇨와 단백뇨를 확인할 수 있었으며 초기의 감별 진단으로는 신부전, 방광염, 신우신염과 종양을 생각했다. 환자의 상태는 내원 후 계속적으로 악화되었으며 폐사했다. 부검 상에서 복강 내 출혈과 양측 신장의 종양을 확인할 수 있었다. 조직검사 상에서 혈관육종을 진단하였다. 본 증례에서는 개에서 비특이적으로 발생하는 양측성의 신장원성 혈관육종에 대해서 다룬다.

A 10-year-old neutered male Siberian Husky presented with paraparesis and severe lethargy. On physical examination, the patient was unable to weight-bear and walk and exhibited significant muscle mass loss in both hindlimbs and generalized truncal alopecia with a dull coat of hair. On neurological examination, cranial lumbar vertebral pain, hind limb cross-extensor reflex, delayed hindlimb postural reaction, upper motor neuron bladder dysfunction, and total absence of cutaneous trunci reflex were identified. Computed tomography revealed diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and spondylosis deformans of the cervical and thoracolumbar vertebrae. In addition, a generalized decrease in bone mineral density of the vertebrae was identified. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperplasia of the epidural fat compressing the spinal cord in the thoracolumbar region and concurrent mild multiple intervertebral disc herniations. No specific findings were observed in cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Blood analysis of thyroid function revealed decreased total T4 and free T4 levels, and increased TSH levels. The patient was tentatively diagnosed with spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) secondary to hypothyroidism. The patient was treated with levothyroxine, firocoxib, and gabapentin. Clinical signs gradually improved, and the patient showed normal ambulation 40 days after treatment initiation. SEL is extremely rare in dogs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of SEL secondary to hypothyroidism that was treated conservatively. Secondary SEL can be sufficiently managed by treating the underlying cause, if possible.

An 8-month-old, intact male Collie and a 4-year-old, intact male Siberian husky presented with severe wounds on the limbs. Although the wounds were not managed adequately before presentation, there were no remarkable findings except for secondary infections. The lesions were cleaned with a disinfectant and then treated with systemic antibiotics. Additionally, a hydrophilic moisture-absorbing polyurethane dressing was applied to the limbs because a conventional bandage with silver sulfadiazine ointment was not effective. Both cases showed significant improvement in the lesions over a short period of time. These cases show that a bioactive dressing works efficiently to heal refractory wounds in dogs.

A 7-year-old, intact, female Siberian husky presented with vomiting and diarrhea after a fight with a dog with which it lived. The bitch was diagnosed with pyometra and severe dehydration. The patient received IV fluid therapy for 2 day pre- and post-operatively. Four days post-surgery, the patient had a decreased level of consciousness and suffered a tonic-clonic generalized seizure. On magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of laminar cortical necrosis caused by fluid overload was made. This case provides important information on the potential for fluid overload in a dehydrated patient giving rise to critical condition and death.

A 12-year-old spayed, female Siberian Husky dog weighing 40 kg was referred for sudden collapse without a traumatic history. A splenic mass and hemoperitoneum were identified by ultrasonography and abdominocentesis at a local animal hospital. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed once the patient was stabilized. A splenic mass and engorged hepatic mass in the torsed left liver lobe were identified. Partial hepatic lobectomy of the left lateral lobe was performed using a laparoscopic linear self-cutting stapler and the spleen was also removed using an ultrasonic scalpel. Histopathologic examination revealed a diagnosis of splenic hemangiosarcoma with metastasis to the liver. Chemotherapy was not performed because the client did not give consent. The patient was checked regularly until death on POD 324. The metastatic nodules had spread to the lungs and other liver lobes and had gradually increased in size. Liver lobe torsion is a rare condition in dogs, especially accompanying neoplasia. This case supports a potential relationship between liver lobe torsion and neoplastic liver mass in dogs.
