ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Feeding raw meat is becoming increasingly common among dog owners. This feeding practice can pose a hygienic risk and can lead to health risks for dogs and their owners. Hygienically sound food rations, that are balanced in terms of all nutrients and energy, must be feed to breeding dogs. The aim of this study was to record the influence of raw feeding on the occurrence of mastitis, metritis and the survival of puppies. An online questionnaire was sent to kennel club registered dog breeders in Germany and Switzerland. A total of 531 litters were recorded and evaluated. Mastitis and/or metritis were present in 9,2 % and 2,8 % (n = 49 and n = 15, respectively) of the breeding bitches. 29 % (n = 154) of the breeders reported loss of puppies in the litter. The most common cause were stillbirths (n = 105 litters with 187 stillborn puppies), and/or early mortality (n = 50 litters with 73 puppies that died in the first 48 hours). The occurrence of puppy losses in the litter and/or a higher proportion of puppy losses in the litter was favored by increased body weight of the bitch in larger dog breeds, existing previous illnesses, previously reported gestation or postpartum problems, increasing length of the parturition phase and/or a cesarean section. A higher total number of surviving puppies was associated with increased weight and anamnestic reported health of the bitch and the use of milk powder instead of other milk substitutes. A relationship between raw feeding and the occurrence of mastitis, metritis, the total number of surviving puppies and/or the occurrence or proportion of pup losses in the litter and was not found in this study. However very few breeders in this cohort fed their bitches raw, which in turn was due to the random selection of breeders. Many years of breeding experience and the increasing parity of the bitch had a clearly positive influence on the health of the bitch.


INTRODUCTION: L'alimentation à base de viande crue est de plus en plus répandue parmi les propriétaires de chiens. Cette pratique alimentaire peut présenter un risque hygiénique et entraîner des dangers pour la santé des chiens et de leurs propriétaires. Des rations alimentaires hygiéniques et équilibrées en termes de nutriments et d'énergie doivent en particulier être données aux chiens reproducteurs. L'objectif de cette étude était d'enregistrer l'influence de l'alimentation crue sur l'apparition de mammites, de métrites et sur la survie des chiots. Un questionnaire en ligne a été envoyé aux éleveurs de chiens enregistrés auprès d'un club d'élevage en Allemagne et en Suisse. Au total, 531 portées ont été enregistrées et évaluées. Une mammite et/ou une métrite étaient présentes chez 9,2 % et 2,8 % (n = 49 et n = 15, respectivement) des chiennes reproductrices. 29 % (n = 154) des éleveurs ont signalé la perte de chiots dans la portée. La cause la plus fréquente était la mortinatalité (n = 105 portées avec 187 chiots mort-nés) et/ou la mortalité précoce (n = 50 portées avec 73 chiots morts dans les 48 premières heures). Les pertes de chiots dans la portée et/ou une proportion plus élevée de pertes de chiots dans la portée était favorisée par un poids corporel plus élevé de la chienne dans les grandes races de chiens, des maladies antérieures existantes, des problèmes de gestation ou de post-partum déjà signalés, une durée plus longue de la phase de parturition et/ou une césarienne. Un nombre total plus élevé de chiots survivants a été associé à un poids plus élevé et à un état de santé anamnestique de la chienne, ainsi qu'à l'utilisation de lait en poudre plutôt que d'autres substituts du lait. Cette étude n'a pas mis en évidence de lien entre l'alimentation crue et l'apparition de mammites, de métrites, le nombre total de chiots survivants et/ou l'apparition ou la proportion de pertes de chiots dans la portée. Cependant, très peu d'éleveurs de cette cohorte ont nourri leurs chiennes avec des aliments crus, ce qui est dû à la sélection aléatoire des éleveurs. Une longue expérience de l'élevage et l'augmentation de la parité de la chienne ont eu une influence clairement positive sur la santé de la chienne.

ABSTRACT

Isolated fractures of the distal sacrum are usually caused by direct trauma. Undisplaced fractures are easily missed on conventional X-ray films. CT scans can disclose the full extent of the fracture. Undisplaced, or minimally displaced fractures can be treated conservatively with analgesics and a restriction to seat for six weeks. In cases of major displacement or neurological symptoms, a digital transanal reduction of the fracture under local or regional anaesthesia can be attempted. If this manoeuvre fails, open reduction and internal fixation are required. Stabilisation is challenging because of the thin bone and the complex shape of the sacrum. In a 15 year old girl with major horizontal displacement and comminution of S4, following a snowboard accident, we achieved sufficient and stable fixation with the new LCP (Locking Compression Plate) system. For six weeks after the operation, the patient was not allowed to sit down. Thereafter, she was free of pain and unrestricted in daily activities and sport. The LCP system has a number of advantages in the fixation of fractures in osteoporotic or thin bone, but clinical experience/skill and careful planning of the operation are crucial.

ABSTRACT

Lesions of the anterior interosseus nerve can result in a variety of clinical manifestations, depending on location and degree of axonal damage. Clinical presentation with an isolated palsy of the flexor pollicis longus muscle is difficult to distinguish from a closed tendon rupture, especially when a trauma occurred. We would like to present five of our cases and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
