The present study aimed to observe the dynamic changes of blood physiologic index and cytokines in serum and scalded tissue of dogs at the early stage of deep partial-thickness burn. Chinese rural dogs were used to produce the deep partial-thickness burn model by multilayer pledgets at 99°C...

In this report, we present a series of cases of thermal burns (scalds) in dogs resulting from exposure to hot water from a garden hose that had been lying in the sun. These dogs typically inhabited the southern and western regions of the USA, where the recorded high temperatures often exceed 32°C...

Objective: To create a chart for estimating body surface area (BSA) for use in canine burn victims, similar to the human Rule of Nines. Design: Prospective study, from 2016 to 2017. Setting: University teaching hospital. Animals: Nine adult, medium-sized, mesocephalic dogs (5 females, 4 males)....

Platelets are the reservoir of growth factors and play a major role in several physiological processes, such as coagulation, angiogenesis, immune response, and tissue repair. Platelet concentrates are broadly classified into two groups depending on their fibrin content, namely platelet-rich plasma...

The purpose of this study was to establish the model of canine deep layer corneal ulcer by means of alkali burn combined with mechanical injury and evaluate the efficacy of conjunctival covering combined with amnion liquid supernatant deep layer corneal ulcer in beagles. By using alkali burn and...

Skin disorders in dogs and cats are among the most common health problems seen in veterinary medical hospitals. This study aimed to determine the histopathological classification of skin affections and their prevalence among different breeds of dogs and cats. Thirty-three cases of animals (29 dogs...

Background: Burns are caused by a direct or indirect action of heat on an organism, compromising the functional integrity of the skin. Hypothermia is a common intercurrence in animals during the transoperative period; thermal mattresses are used to maintain the animal's body temperature, but...

Case description: A 3-year-old 27-kg female spayed American Bulldog with severe burn injuries caused by a gasoline can explosion was evaluated. Clinical findings: The dog had extensive partial- and full-thickness burns with 50% of total body surface area affected. The burns involved the dorsum...

Nicaragua's Bosawás Biosphere Reserve is a vast forested area inhabited largely by indigenous Mayangna and Miskitu people. Most Bosawás residents rely on subsistence hunting and swidden agriculture, and hunting dogs are important for finding and securing wild game. We investigated the health of...
