Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour is an uncommon tumour in cats. The current case report aims to present the diagnosis, treatment and histopathology of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour that developed in the cerebellopontine angle region of a cat. A 4-year-old 4.2-kg female calico cat was brought to the animal hospital with the complaints of loss of balance, leaning against the wall and behavioural changes. During the neurological examination, the patient was observed to have a right-sided head tilt accompanied by ipsilateral ventral strabismus...

P Camilletti, M d'Amato
This report describes a centralisation procedure for the treatment of a radial non-union, characterised by extensive bone loss and an intact ulna, in an 18-month-old toy poodle. A lateral approach to the radius/ulna shafts was realised and, after debridement of the non-union site, an ulnar osteotomy was performed proximal to the styloid process of the ulna. Transposition of the distal fragment of the radius to the distal end of the osteotomised proximal segment of the ulna was performed and the stabilisation was obtained using a locking plate with proximal screws in the ulnar shaft and distal screws in the radius epiphysis...

Y Wang, J Seo
A 15-month-old female Ragdoll cat was evaluated for progressive lethargy, tachypnoea and increased respiratory effort for 1 week after routine ovariohysterectomy. Thoracic radiographs and an echocardiogram showed evidence of congestive heart failure and a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype, respectively. The maximum left ventricular wall thickness in end diastole was 6.2 mm. The serum cardiac troponin I concentration was 20.86 ng/mL. The cat was treated with furosemide and clopidogrel and discharged after 3 days...

OBJECTIVES: To use text mining approaches to identify instances of suspected adverse drug reactions recorded in first opinion veterinary free-text clinical narratives, and to evaluate whether these were also reported to either the Veterinary Medicines Directorate or the relevant Marketing Authorisation holder in order to derive an estimate of the suspected adverse drug reaction (sADR) minimum under-reporting rate. To characterise sADR reports and explore whether particular features are associated with report submission...

A 6-year-old, female neutered Labrador retriever was presented with a chronic history of vomiting and anorexia. Abdominal ultrasound identified two large cavitated structures with echogenic content in the gastric fundus and pyloric region. CT revealed the intraparietal nature of these structures, one in the greater curvature and another one extending from the lesser curvature to the pyloric antrum. Surgical exploration revealed two areas of thickened gastric wall with intramural purulent material. Debridement and partial resection of the abscess (deroofing) were performed via a routine gastrotomy approach...

OBJECTIVES: Angiostrongylosis is a significant differential for a diverse range of clinical signs in dogs, many of whom present acutely and sometimes with fatal consequences. Point-of-care diagnostic assays include a commercially available Angiostrongylus vasorum qualitative direct lateral flow assay.

M Gosling, J Hall
A 10-month-old female neutered domestic shorthair cat presented with a history of urinary incontinence and recurrent bacterial cystitis since 2 months of age. Physical examination was unremarkable other than vulval hypoplasia. Genitourinary dysplasia was diagnosed following a physical examination, CT imaging and retrograde positive contrast urethrocystography. Attempted medical management of the urinary incontinence was unsuccessful. Surgical treatment consisted of cystourethroplasty combined with artificial urethral sphincter placement, resulting in marked improvement of urinary continence...

We describe two canine cases of cutaneous infection caused by Serratia marcescens. A 2-year-old castrated male mixed dog (Case 1) presented with multiple ulcerations on the dorsal trunk, which were observed 4 days after shampooing. A 4-year-old male wolf shepherd mix dog (Case 2) presented with ulceration and purulent discharge on the nasal bridge. Cytological examination of both cases revealed pyogranulomatous inflammatory cells with rod-like infectious agents identified as S. marcescens in aerobic bacterial culture...
