Patellar luxation and associated pelvic limb lameness were treated with polyethylene sulcal ridge augmentation prostheses in four cats. In all cases, the lameness resolved within weeks of a single surgery. No important complications were encountered. On radiographs obtained at least 2 years postoperatively, three cases showed radiographic progression of degenerative joint disease, and one showed evidence of screw loosening, but these were not reflected in apparent lameness and no case required revision.

Successful Outcome of secondary intention healing of full thickness lower eyelid defects in dogs
ObjectivesTo assess healing of the canine lower eyelid without anatomical reconstruction.Materials and MethodsThe study is a retrospective case series, three client ‐owned dogs with lower eyelid defects. Dogs that underwent debridement of lower eyelid wounds that were left to heal by secondary intention were assessed for anatomical, functional and aesthetic outcomes.ResultsTwo of the cases had previously undergone tumour resection with a lip ‐to‐lid reconstruction and, following flap failure, developed a full thickness defect. The third dog presented with a traumatic laceration. Each dog lost approximately 70 to 90% ...

Wireless body sensor for electrocardiographic monitoring in dogs and cats
ObjectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic utility of electrocardiogram data obtained by a wireless sensor from 36 dogs and four cats with suspected arrhythmias caused by cardiac or systemic diseases.Materials and MethodsWireless electrocardiographic recordings were obtainedvia two precordial electrodes attached to an electrocardiogram sensor connected to a smart devicevia low ‐power Bluetooth technology. Cardiac rate, rhythm and duration of P‐QRS‐T waves were evaluated with VisECG® software. Fifteen ‐ to 30‐minute wireless recordings were compared to standard electrocardiograms. Furthermore, the wireless sensor was u...

A forced ‐choice preferential looking task for the assessment of vision in dogs: pilot study
ObjectivesTo describe preliminary use of a forced ‐choice preferential looking task for the clinical assessment of vision in dogs.Materials and MethodsThe vision of 18 pet dogs was investigated in two separate studies using a forced ‐choice preferential looking task: multiple observers watched eye, head and body movements on video recordings to identify cues suggesting when a dog had seen the feature of interest. Human observer reliability was determined using eight dogs and computer‐generated stimuli. Visual acuity was ass essed using computer‐generated grating stimuli: in real‐time, an observer watched each dog...

Is the caudal auricular axial pattern flap robust? A multi ‐centre cohort study of 16 dogs and 12 cats (2005 to 2016)
ObjectiveTo determine the frequency and type of healing complications arising after the use of the caudal auricular axial pattern flap to close defects on the head in dogs and cats.Material and MethodsMulti ‐centre retrospective cohort study. Centres were recruited by the Association for Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery Research Cooperative. Medical records of 11 centres were reviewed, and data from all dogs and cats treated with a caudal auricular axial pattern flap were retrieved. The following data were recorded: signalment, reason for reconstruction, flap dimensions, anatomic landmarks used, histological diagnosis, fla...

Canine urethral sphincter pressure profile under incremental inflation of an artificial cuff: a cadaver study
ObjectivesTo determine whether artificial urethral sphincter filling volume is proportional to peak pressure exerted on the urethra.Materials and MethodsUrethral pressure profilometry was performed in five female, medium ‐sized, mixed‐breed canine cadavers following artificial urethral sphincter placement. Maximum urethral pressure was recorded following sequential incremental inflation of 0.15 mL and compared to baseline pressure and between dogs using two‐way analysis of variance.ResultsArtificial urethral sphincter placement in cadavers was associated with an increase in urethral pressure, which was significantl...
