JOURNAL FREE ACCESSChanges in serum α1-acid glycoprotein (α1AG) levels in dogs with mammary tumors during perioperation period was investigated. The α1AG concentration showed higher levels in dogs with malignant tumors than in those with benign tumors before surgery. In most cases of both groups, it increased in 2 days after operation and returned to the pre-operation level within 14 days after operation. However, in cases with advanced stages and poor prognosis, α1AG levels remained higher on the 14th day. These results suggest that the α1AG concentration in dogs may be an indicator of the stage of mammary tumor, the possibility of recurrence and poor prognosis.View full abstractDownload PDF (708K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA twelve-year-old mongrel dog with perineal hernia was admitted. The muscles around the perineal area were severely atrophied, thus, the flap of the semitendinosus muscle was used for repair of the hernia. The semitendimosus muscle of the hernia side was dissected near the attachment of the tibia, reflected upward, and sutured on the hernial orifice. The patient did not show any lameness and recurrence was not abserved for two years and eight months after the operation.View full abstractDownload PDF (6792K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe comparative study of vomiting induced by medetomidine or xylazine was performed in cats. Medetomidine (80μg/kg) or xylazine (2mg/kg) was administered intramuscularly in cats. The vomiting was induced in 20.0% of cats in medetomidine group and in 70.0% of those in xylazine group. One vomiting reaction was the most common frequency in both groups, however the mean frequency of vomiting was 2.1 in medetomidine group and 2.0 in xylazine group, respectively. The vomiting was commonly induced during 2-3 min after the administration of medetomidine or xylazine. Sedation was induced (laying down) in average at 3 min 15 sec in medetomidine group and 6 min 51 sec in xylazine group, respectively.
The results suggest that at these doses, medetomidine is more effective than xylazine to reduce the accident induced by vomiting and owner's anxiety during the induction phase of sedation.View full abstractDownload PDF (4394K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA two-year-old, female walrus was presented with dento-alveolar abscesses. Tusk extraction was performed under general anesthesia using isoflurane. The walrus was atropinized (0.01mg/kg), and sedated with ketamine hydrochloride (3mg/kg) and diazepam (0.1mg/kg) injected intramuscularly. Anesthesia was induced using thiopental sodium (5 mg/kg) administered through an intravenous catheter placed within the extradural vein. Anesthesia was maintained with oxygen-isoflurane mixture. When the respiration rate decreased to less than 1 breath per min after administration of thiopental sodium, intermittent positive-presssure ventilation was performed at 10 breaths per min. The heart rate remained at approximately 100/min. The respiratory rate returned to normal 40 min after anesthesia.View full abstractDownload PDF (4211K)
