Maxillary brachygnathia in a colt

Dynamic compression plates [DCP] and screws fixation were used successfully for correction of severe malocclusion due to congenital maxillary brachygnathia in a colt. The plates were fitted after bilateral osteotomies of the nasal branches of thepremaxilla

Perianal adenomas in dogs

Single or multiple hemorrhagic ulcerated swellings of various sizes were found pertaining to the anus of ten mixed breed dogs. The thoracic and abdominal cavities as well as the lymph nodes were clinically and radiologically free from metastasis. The anatomical location and the characteristic histopathological findings of presence of hepatoid cells confirmed the diagnosis. Also, microscopic dogs revealed testicular atrophy but testicular neoplasia was not observed. The treatment of choice was accomplished by surgical excision of these tumors and castration of males under general inhalational anesthesia. High tendency of bleeding was observed during surgery. The prognosis was favorable, with no recurrence in castrated dogs, while recurrence was evident in noncastrated ones. However, latent castration subsequented with dramatic regression of these tumors

Studies on gambee and Lambert patterns for closure of small colon enterotomies in equine

Small colon enterotomies were performed in nine adult healthy horses through the antimesenteric teniae and adjacent to teniae. Gambee and Lembert sutures were used for closure of the enterotomies in both locations. Vicryl was used as a sole suture material for both patterns. This comparative study proved that Lembert suture was easier, faster, and better than Gambee suture concerning efficacy of technique and the healing process
