Breed-specific ecobiometry and ultrasound factors predictive of fetal maturity ...

The aims of the current study are to build an equation to predict gestational age (GA) and to compare ultrasound parameters indicative of delivery in healthy English Bulldog bitches subjected to elective cesarean section. Sixteen pregnant female dogs were included in the study. Inner chorionic cavity (ICCDD) and biparietal (BPD) diameters were measured at 30 and 50 days after artificial insemination, respective...

Histological evaluation of testicles from prepubertal dogs submitted to vitrifi...

The aim of this study was to histologically evaluate the testes of prepubertal dogs vitrified with different cryoprotectant associations. For this purpose, 10 testicles from prepubertal dogs were used, which were fragmented into samples of 1 to 2 mm3 and vitrified in different cryoprotectant associations: dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)/ethylene glycol (EG), EG/glycerol(GLY) and DMSO/GLY. After a period of storage, th...

Estudo retrospectivo de doenças neoplásicas em cães

Neoplastic disease has become an important disease in domestic dogs over the years even thoughin veterinary medicine there is a lack of census of neoplasms. This report describes the tumor distribution between2003-2011 in Fortaleza (northeastern region of Brazil). A total of 1,008 samples of spontaneous tumour growths indogs from various tumor sites were obtained. The most affected sites were skin (52.98%; n=53...

Retrospective survey of neoplastic disease in dogs

Neoplastic disease has become an important disease in domestic dogs over the years even though in veterinary medicine there is a lack of census of neoplasms.

Influence of glycerol addition on the quality of cat epididymal sperm during th...

Cryopreservation of epididymal sperm is a useful tool for preserving the genetic potential of valuable animal specimens. The domestic cat is used as a model to study and develop cryogenics for other felines. However, regulation of the entire cryopreservation process is essential for the success of this biotechnology. Thus, our aim was to evaluate the effects of glycerol equilibration time and freeze-thaw stages...

Hidropisia dos envoltórios fetais em vaca anã associada a bezerro bull-dog: Rel...

In this report, we described a case of hydrops of fetal covering in a dwarf cow in the 7o month of pregnancy. The animal showed an increase in abdominal volume and at the examination for rectal touch, it was observed an uterus dilation, making impossible fetal touch. The ultrasonografic examination, showed the presence of anecoic content, suggestive of liquid. The clinical signs and the examination finds lead t...

Comparison between powder coconut water (ACP®) and Tris as extenders for canine...

The present study compared powder coconut water (ACP®) and Tris extenders on canine semen cryopreservation by classic evaluation and thermoresistance test. Five stud dogs were submitted to two semen collections by digital manipulation. Sperm fractions were analyzed regarding to its color, volume, sperm concentration, motility, vigor and morphology. Semen samples were divided into two aliquots: the first one was...
