An 8-year-old castrated male Shih Tzu dog (weighing 7.0 kg) presented with anemia and lethargy. Initial diagnosis indicated immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. During therapy, a secondary urinary infection, probably due to the immune suppressive therapy, was diagnosed. Subsequent diagnostic tests, including urinalysis and urine culture, indicated candidal cystitis. Despite ketoconazole therapy for candidal cystitis, the dog died suddenly. A Candida albicans infection was confirmed upon postmortem evaluation. Prolonged immunosuppressive therapy might be the cause of this infection. This is the first case report describing a Candida albicans urinary tract infection accompanied by hemolytic anemia in a dog in Korea.

A 2-year old castrated male Alaskan malamute was referred with primary complaints of marked anemia, hemeglobinuria and depression. Laboratory tests revealed canine babesiois with severe anemia. The dog was treated by blood transfusion and beneril (diminazene aceturate, 3.5 mg/kg IM). Two days after Beneril injection, the dog suddenly showed ataxia progressing to paresis. MRI revealed irregularly diffused lesions in the cerebellum. The case was tentatively diagnosed as cerebellar encephalopathy caused by diminazene toxicity. The dog successfully recovered following steroid therapy.

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.

6개월령 수컷 진도종 개가 교통사고에 의한 골반 골절 교정술을 위하여 내원하였다. 일반적인 수술 전 검사에서 마취와 관련해 위험성 있는 이상은 발견되지 않았다. 이 개는 아트로핀으로 전처치하고, 유도마취로 thiopental을 주사하였으며 유지 마취 약물로 isoflurane을 사용하였다. 수술 시작 40분 후 갑자기 서맥이 발생하여 아트로핀(18ug/kg)을 천천히 정맥주사 하였으나 즉시 맥박이 증가하지 않고 오히려 heart rate가 감소하며 방실 전도 차단($2^{nd}$ degree type I)이 발생하였다. 따라서 ephedrin을 즉각적으로 주사하였으며, 투여 7분 후 정상 심박으로 회복되었다. 본 증례는 개에서 고용량 atropine 투여로 드물게 발생하는 역설적 방실전도 차단 임상예이다.

1년령 intact male mixed dog(체중 20 kg)가 복부 팽창과 심각한 운동불내성을 주증으로 내원하였다. 심전도 검사에서 심방정지와 함께 두드러진 서맥(46-79회/분)이 관찰되었다. 실험실 검사상 특별한 이상 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 혈청 cortisol과 T4농도는 정상 범위였다. 영상검사상 심장비대, 복수, 모든 심장 chamber의 확장, 심방정지, transmitral A-peak 소실, 이첨판과 삼첨판 역류, 정상 좌심실 수축기 직경이 관찰되었다. 검사결과에 근거하여 특발성 심방정지로 진단되었으며 심부전에 준한 일반적인 치료를 실시하였다.

In this study, we intended to describe an unrecorded species of heterophyid trematode recovered from the small intestine of a Korean raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides koreensis, in Korea. A total of 13 small flukes were collected from a deceased Korean raccoon dog which was found in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, Korea in May 2017. The trematode body were covered with many small spines, rectangular, broader than long, 807-1,103 ㎛ long and 1,270-1,550 ㎛ wide. Oral sucker in the anterior end slightly smaller than acetabulum. Pharynx muscular and well developed. Esophagus relatively long and sigmoid. Acetabulum small and located at median in anterior 2/5 portion. Ceca bifurcated at the anterior of genital pore and acetabulum and terminated at testis level. Testes larger, deeply lobed and located at the near of posterior end of body. Ovary small, triangular and located at the slight left of median and the anterior of left testis. Vitelline follicles dendritic and extend from the middle level of esophagus to the posterior portion of body. Eggs embryonated, operculated, small and 33-35×15-16 ㎛ in size. Based on the morphological characteristics, the small heterophyid flukes recovered from the small intestines of Korean raccoon dog, N. procyonoides koreensis, were identified as Euryhelmis squamula (Digenea: Heterophyidae). Accordingly, this species of heterophyid flukes is to be a new trematode fauna in Korea by this study.

Acute hemorrhagic enteritis was diagnosed in a seven-month-old male Shitzu dog dying of blood stained diarrhea and vomiting. Clinical findings were anorexia, dullness and sudden death after massive bloody diarrhea. At necropsy, main lesion was the hemorrhage in small intestine, mainly duodenum and jejunum. Microscopically, Gram positive long bacilli were massively detected on the mucose epithelial cells and necrotic debris of small intestine. Coagulative necrosis of epithelial cells and thrombosis of small intestine were also identified. However, there was no lesion of crypt epithelium. Mineral infiltration in both gastric mucosa and renal tubules was detected and proliferation of fibrous tissue was also shown in corticomedullary regions. In bacterial examination, C perfringens was isolated in anaerobic culture and it was confirmed to type A by multiplex PCR. Therefore, the dog was diagnosed as C perfringens type A associated enteritis with uremia.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the small animal patients treated by Oriental medicine and develop the treatment strategies for small animal patients. Methods : 58 cases of small animal patients treated in the department of integrated medicine, Veterinary Medical Center, University of Minnesota, USA, from Jan 1 2003 to Aug 30 2003 were surveyed. Results : 1. The number of dog patients was more than that of cat patients and the female patients were more than the male patients. 2. The highest incidence was shown in the age of 6 to 15 on dogs and 11 to 15 on cats, respectively. 3. The number of patients via other hospital was as much as that of the first visitor to this department. 4. The most frequent disease was the musculoskeletal problems in dog patients and the internal medicine problems in cats patients. 5. The improvement rate was 85% in dogs and 86% in cats, respectively. Conclusions: Oriental medicine is supposed to be effective on relieving the symptoms and signs in small animal patients.

A poodle with clinical signs of colorectal disease was diagnosed as pneumatosis coli. In this dog, hypoadrenocorticism and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia concurred. Pneumatosis coli is one of the emphysematous gastrointestinal diseases. The etiology is unknown but mechanical, pulmonary and bacterial theories have been proposed. In pneumatosis coli, gas accumulates within submucosal or subserosal layer of colon or rectum, so intramural radiolucent gas is observed on abdominal radiographs. In this dog, intramural gas accumulation occurred in cecum. Definitive diagnosis was based on radiographic findings and an underlying cause was not elicited. Pneumatosis coli should be included into differential diagnosis for nonspecific colorectal signs.
