    Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a commensal bacteria of the skin as well as mucous membranes in dogs, and the major pathogen of canine pyoderma. Studies of S. pseudintermedius have been reported over a period of thirty years. Important topics such as identification of S. pseudintermedius exfoliative toxins that specifically target a canine epithelial cell adhesion molecule, and the worldwide spread of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius have been reported in recent years. The objective of this review was to summarize the research data and current knowledge regarding S. pseudintermedius, especially its taxonomy, properties, pathogenicity, and drug-resistance.

    This report presents two mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii) bite cases in cats diagnosed according to characteristic bite marks and clinical symptoms. It seems that both cats were bitten at night when they were outside, and no clinical symptoms were observed when they came back home. However, extensive edema had appeared around their faces by the following morning. Both cats were examined approximately 12 hours after being bitten. Case 1 showed a bite mark on the lower lip with extensive edema around the lower jaw. Case 2 showed two bite marks on the forehead with edema of the whole face and the lower jaw. All cats were medicated with prednisolone (2.3–4.0 mg/kg; dosage was gradually reduced) and antibiotics, and they recovered after 4 days of treatment.

    A 1-year-old spayed female Cavalier King Charles spaniel (CKCS) presented with right aural pruritis. A bulging pars flaccida was identified on otoscopic examination with no evidence of otitis externa noted. Hyperintense tissue was identified in the right bulla on T2 weighted MRI images. A myringotomy and video otoscopy were performed, and highly viscous, gray mucous discharged from the right tympanic bulla. Two weeks following the procedure, the pruritic behavior was decreased, and based on this progress, the dog was diagnosed with primary secretory otitis media (PSOM).
