Fifty six dogs diagnosed with intervertebral disk disease between January 1999 and August 2001 were reviewed to characterize signalments and prognosis. Seventy-five percent was chondrodystrophoid breeds (42 dogs). Mean age was 5.1$\pm$3.0 year-old and fifty-four percent had acute onset. Interspaces between eleventh thoracic vertebrae and fourth lumbar vertebrae were affected most commonly. Success rate of conservative treatment to dogs with paresis was 83% and that of operation to dogs with paralysis was 67%. Six dogs were recurred and 50% of them had recovered again. There was significant correlation between success rate of treatment and the degree of clinical signs but there was no significant correlation between success rate of treatment and rate of onset, status of clinical signs, duration of clinical signs.

Thirty four dogs presented with generalized progressive retinal atrophy(gPRA) from September 2002 to April 2004 were reviewed to characterize signalments and prevalence rate in Korea. Mean age was 6.3$\pm$2.7 years-old and 59% was less than six years old. The most prevalent breed was Miniature Schnauzer (50%) and the affected mean age was slightly earlier (4.4$\pm$1.1 years-old). However, there was no sex predisposition. Cataract was confirmed in 15 dogs (44%) and 67% was bilateral.

This study was performed to compare clinical and diagnostic imaging features between asymptomatic and symptomatic extrahepatic portosystemic shunts in dogs. The data of thirty patients diagnosed with extrahepatic PSS by multi-detector CT were reviewed, and the dogs were divided into asymptomatic (9/30) and symptomatic (21/30) groups. Signalments, hematologic results, liver size, morphologic classifications and main portal vein to abdominal aortic ratio (PV/AO) at the porta hepatis level from CT images were evaluated in two groups. Shih-tzu (5/9) was the most frequent breed in asymptomatic group, and various breeds were presented in symptomatic group. Mean age of asymptomatic group ($9.2{\pm}3.2$ years) was significantly higher than that of symptomatic group ($4.5{\pm}3.2$ years). The most morphologic form of shunt vessel was the splenophrenic shunt (16/30). PV/AO of asymptomatic group ($1.1{\pm}0.19$) was significantly higher than the values of symptomatic group ($0.55{\pm}0.19$). Clinical signs, hematologic results and diagnostic imaging findings of asymptomatic PSS are too nonspecific to suspect PSS. Therefore, considering of patient's age and CT examination with application of PV/AO ratio could be useful for the diagnosis of asymptomatic PSS.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety to determine the therapeutic responses of oclacitinib in canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) and identified factors related to the therapeutic response. Overall, 13 dogs with CAD were treated with oclacitinib for 56 days. Owners and veterinarians assessed visual analog scale (VAS) scores of pruritus and dermatitis. The examined dogs were grouped according to treatment success and failure based on changes in the VAS scores. To identify factors related to the therapeutic responses of oclacitinib, signalments (breed, sex, age, and body weight), mean progression time of CAD, mean Owner and Veterinarian VAS scores at day 0, and preexisting infection rate were compared between the two groups. Among the 13 dogs, 7 (53.8%) met the criteria of treatment success. In the success group, the Owner VAS scores were significantly lower from day 6 to 56 compared with the score at day 0 (P < 0.05). Additionally, the Veterinarian VAS scores were significantly decreased at days 14 and 42 compared with the score at day 0 (P < 0.05). There were no changes in hematological indices after the administration of oclacitinib. The most common abnormality reported was otitis externa (30.8%), followed by pyoderma (23.1%), and vomiting (7.7%). Factors related to responses of oclacitinib were not identified. This study demonstrated that oclacitinib was safe and moderately effective in dogs with CAD. This is the first report of the clinical application of oclacitinib in South Korea.

2002년부터 2004년 까지 건국대학교 부속동물병원에 의뢰된 환축 중 고칼슘혈증견을 나타내는 94마리를 대상으로 원인질병을 조사하였다. 연구 기간 동안 고칼슘혈증은 총 94 마리, 19 견종에서 발견되었으며, 이들을 증례군에 포함시켰다. 대조군은 동일 연구기간 동안 고칼슘혈증이 발생되지 않은 총 94마리, 18 견종으로 구성되어졌다. 일반 품고 들에 대해서는 나이 분포를 제외하고는 증례군과 대조군 간에 현저한 차이가 없었다. 시츄(17.02%)와 요크셔 테리어(26.60%)가 증례군과 대조군에서 각각 가장 일반적인 품종이었다. 고칼슘혈증의 가장 일반적인 원인은 만성 신부전(14.89%) 이었으며, 그 다음으로 급성 신부전(14.89%), 신결석(6.38%)순이었다. 악성종양(림프종, 혈관육종, 만성 림프구성 백혈병, 유선 종양 및 다발성 골수종) 내분비계 질환(부신피질 기능항진증, 갑상선 기능항진증, 부신피질 기능저하증 및 갑상선 기능저하증)은 고칼슘혈증의 원인 중 8.5%와 6.4%를 각각 나타내었다.
