ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To describe the complications and outcomes in dogs with luxoid hip dysplasia (LH) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and compare complication rates with THA in non-LH dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Client-owned dogs (n = 217) undergoing primary THA (n = 238). METHODS: Medical records (2010-2022) of dogs undergoing THA were reviewed, and LH was defined as complete dorsal displacement of the femoral head from the acetabulum on lateral projection radiographs. Major or catastrophic complications, revisions, and outcomes were recorded for all dogs and they were compared between LH and non-LH groups. RESULTS: Eighteen cases met the subcriterion for the LH group and 220 cases met the subcriterion for inclusion in the non-LH group. There were 14 complications in 13/18 dogs with LH; seven were intraoperative (femoral fissure/fracture) and seven were postoperative (dorsal luxation, n = 5; femoral fracture, n = 1; acetabular cup septic loosening, n = 1). Revisions were performed for all LH dogs that encountered complications; satisfactory outcomes were achieved in 12/13 dogs. Overall, LH dogs had a higher risk of developing complications (p < .001), including intraoperative fracture (p < .001) and postoperative dorsal luxation (p = .019) when compared with non-LH dogs. CONCLUSION: Luxoid hip dysplasia was associated with a higher risk of major complications following THA in dogs, specifically intraoperative fissure/fracture and postoperative dorsal luxation. Despite the increased risk, revisions typically yielded satisfactory outcomes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Luxoid hip dysplasia is an important risk factor for the development of major complications in dogs undergoing THA.

A case of a cystocele is reported in a 3-year-old intact female Doberman pinscher. The urinary bladder and vaginal body were reduced within the abdominal cavity and secured by cystopexy and cervicopexy allowing the uterus and ovaries to be spared. This is the first report describing the surgery for a cystocele in a young female dog 3 days after whelping, with sparing of the reproductive tract. Key clinical message: This is the first report to describe a cystocele in a young intact female dog after whelping with sparing of the female reproductive tract.
Traitement d'une cystocèle chez une chienne 3 jours après la mise bas. Un cas de cystocèle est rapporté chez une femelle Doberman pinscher intacte de 3 ans. La vessie et le corps vaginal ont été réduits dans la cavité abdominale et sécurisés par cystopexie et cervicopexie permettant d'épargner l'utérus et les ovaires. Il s'agit du premier rapport décrivant la chirurgie d'une cystocèle chez une jeune chienne trois jours après la mise bas, avec préservation de l'appareil reproducteur.Message clinique clé :Il s'agit du premier rapport décrivant une cystocèle chez une jeune chienne intacte après mise bas avec préservation de l'appareil reproducteur femelle.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
