A 3-month-old, intact male French bulldog was suspected of deafness. The dog was irresponsive to environmental noises generated out of sight, but normal responses were noted for visual stimuli. No abnormalities were observed on the neurological, otoscopic, radiographic, and blood examinations. To diagnose the apparent deafness, brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) was recorded in the presented dog together with a normal dog. While the BAEP from the control dog showed a normal wave consisting of 5 peaks, absence of all peaks was noted in the suspected deaf dog. Therefore the dog was definitively diagnosed as bilaterally congenital sensorineural deafness.

A 5-year-old female Cocker spaniel dog (body weight 7.0 kg) was presented with primary complaints of exercise intolerance and loud precordial thrill which was noticed since she was a puppy. Physical examination revealed a grade V/VI continuous murmur over the maximal point of the left basal area, bounding femoral pulse, but no differential cyanosis. Tall R waves were detected in electrocardiogram, suggesting left ventricular enlargement. Diagnostic imaging studies showed enlarged left ventricle, bulged descending aorta (dAo), markedly dilated right pulmonary artery, and continuous shunt flow between the dAo and main pulmonary artery. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed as left to right shunted patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The patent ductus arteriosus was treated by lodging a PDA duct occluder via the transvenous approach. Clinical signs were markedly improved after the ductal occlusion, the shunt flow was mildly persistent. The case presented is the first case of PDA occluded by the PDA duct occluder via the transvenous approach in a small breed of dog. Although the residual shunt flow was mildly persisted, the dog was clinically normal without detectable murmurs.

A 7-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier dog with chronic vomiting, and melena lasted for 3 weeks was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. The complete blood counts and serum biochemistry revealed no remarkable findings. Gastrointestinal series revealed irregular margin in small intestinal lumen. After upper gastrointestinal series, erythema of the small intestinal lesions was found by exploratory laparotomy and full-thickness biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed infiltration of predominantly eosinophils and other inflammatory cells in small intestine. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed as eosinophilic enteritis. After 4 weeks medical treatment and hypoallergenic diet, the patient showed no vomiting, melena and other complications.

12년령 접종 수컷 개가 전북대학교 수의과 대학에 왼쪽 편측성의 유루증으로 내원하였다. 확대경을 통한 안검사에서 왼쪽 안검 결막에 매우 작은 덩어리가 있는 것이 발견되었다. 이 조직을 외과적으로 제거하여 조직검사를 실시한 결과 편평상피 세포에 바이러스성 변화가 없는 중등도의 유두세포 증식이 관찰되었다. 조직 검사를 바탕으로 비바이러스성 편평세포 유두종으로 진단하였다. 조직 제거 후에 환자의 유루증은 완전히 해결되었다. 본 증례는 개에서 결막의 비바이러스성 편평세포 유두종에 의해 발생한 유루증을 치료한 것이다.

3년령 암컷 잡종개(체중 5.3 kg)가 실신, 운동불내성, 의기소침, 기면 등의 증상으로 강원대학교 동물병원에 내원하였다. 진단검사상 적혈구증가증이 관찰되고, 흉부방사선 검사상 심한 우심종대 패턴이 관찰되었으며, 심초음파상우-좌 단락의 심방중격 결손증, 심한 폐동맥 협착증(~5 m/s of peak velocity)과 우심실 비대소견이 관찰되었다. 환자는 진단영상학적 소견을 근거로 팔로삼징(trilogy of Fallot)으로 진단되었다. 환자의 임상증상을 안정화시키기 위해 diltiazem과 enalapril을 투여하였고 일주일에 한번씩 정맥사혈을 실시하고 있다. 본 증례는 국내에서 최초로 보고되는 팔로삼징의 증례이다.

8개월령 암컷 포메라니안 개가 심잡음과 심비대를 주호소로 내원하였다. 검사결과 좌-우단락 동맥관 개존증과 중등도의 심부전 (ISACHC II) 으로 진단되었다. 잔존 동맥관은 우측 대퇴동맥을 통한 $5mm{\times}3loops$ 코일 색전술을 통해 성공적으로 치료되었다. 2개월 후 환축은 현저한 저혈압과 심한 설사, 흉수가 차는 증상으로 다시 내원하였다. 검사 결과 심각한 폐성고혈압과 삼첨판 역류가 발견되었다. Sildenafil (3 mg/kg, PO, TID) 을 투여함으로써 임상증상은 조절되었으나, 코일빠짐과 보호자의 부적절한 투약으로 인해 환축은 폐사하였다. 부검 결과 폐성고혈압의 원인은 비정상적인 위치로 빠진 색전 코일에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 토이 품종에서 PDA의 치료를 위해 색전 코일이 널리 사용되고 있지만, 장착된 코일이 빠질 위험을 줄이기 위해서는 PDA의 크기와 형태에 대한 한층 더 세심한 평가가 필요하다.

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.

An 11-year-old castrated male Maltese had vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal distension for over two weeks and weight loss for several months. Clinical laboratory studies were not remarkable. Abdominal radiographs showed severe dilated intestine with a gravel sign. Colon was empty with normal diameter in the pneumocolon study. On ultrasonographs, most small bowel loops were dilated without normal peristalsis and showed abnormal thin wall. Barium contrast study revealed remarkably delayed gastric emptying and transit time up to $6^{th}$ day. On exploratory laparotomy, there were no mechanical obstruction and extra-intestinal abnormalities except severe dilated small intestine. Chronic fibrosing lymphohistiocytic leiomyositis with atrophy of tunica muscularis in the small intestines and colon was identified through full thickness biopsy and histopathology. Therefore, primary myopathic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction was diagnosed. This dog is survival with symptomatic treatments for eight months.

An 8-year-old intact male Pekingese (weighing 13 kg) was presented for evaluation of chronic coughing. Thoracic radiography found a redundant tissue swelling (protruded on expiration and collapsed on inspiration) on the ventral neck just cranial to the thoracic inlet. Fluoroscopy also identified that the cranial portion of the right/left cranial lung lobe was seen to protrude through the thoracic inlet into the ventral neck on expiration. On the echocardiogram, there were no abnormal jets in all cardiac valves and no dilation in all cardiac chambers. Based on diagnostic imaging studies, the case was diagnosed as cervical lung lobe herniation.

A 1.83 kg, 9-year-old, spayed female Yorkshire Terrier was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Konkuk University for evaluation of an intra-abdominal mass with a week history of vomiting and diarrhea. On physical examination, survey radiography, abdominal ultrasonography, and computed tomography, a huge firm mass was identified in the mid-caudal abdomen. Surgical exploration of the abdominal cavity was performed to remove the mass. The encapsulated mass adhered to the mesentery, tail of the spleen, small intestine, omentum, and right lobe of the pancreas was removed using blunt dissection with dry gauze and cotton swabs. Macroscopic and histopathological examination revealed that the mass was foreign-body granuloma consistent with gauze fiber. Plain abdominal radiography demonstrated no remarkable findings 8 months post-operatively. There was no evidence of vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, difficulty breathing, and cyanosis on exertion 13 months post-operatively.
