    A 4-year-old male German Shepherd was presented for evaluation of left hind-limb lameness. Radiographical examination showed osteolysis of the tibia. A tentative diagnosis of osteosarcoma was made by needle-core-biopsy, and the left hind limb was amputated. Final diagnosis was made by histopathologic examination, as synovial sarcoma. Despite the adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, carboplatin, ifosfamide and dacarbazine, the dog died 198 days postoperatively due to systemic metastases. Necropsy revealed systemic metastases of the synovial sarcoma to the skin, gingiva, kidneys, adrenal glands, lung, hilar lymph node, esophagus, diaphragm, pancreas, bladder, prostate, mediastinum, heart, frontal bone and eyeballs.

    We treated postoperative respiratory insufficiency by oxygen therapy using intratracheal catheter in three dogs.They presented hypoxemia even in a oxygenated cage. One of the three dogs was treated as long as seven days, and all dogs recovered to normoxemia by inhalation of oxygen.They did not show any significant complications during and after oxygen therapy. These results indicate that oxygen therapy using by intratracheal catheter is valuable and safe for use in small dogs.
