Veterinary physiotherapy is a rapidly developing field, because of aspects such as increased owner awareness and demand. Diagnostic and therapeutic technological advancements have resulted in more complex and integrated management of companion animals, as well as general advances in animal...

In wild mammals, the morphology of salivary glands is less known. Our observations were focused on macroscopic salivary glands (parotid, mandibular, sublingual, and buccal glands) of wild boar in order to reveal the particular aspects. The glands were studied on a head of a young (1.5-2 years old)...

Hypothyroidism has complex etiopathogenesis and results in decreased basal metabolism, disturbance of mineral metabolism, myxoedema, and nervous and reproductive disorders. A common clinical manifestation in dogs is symmetrical, bilateral alopecia. We report two cases of endocrine alopecia in goats ...

The study was conducted on a total number of 13 Hanoverian horses, 2 to 12 years old used for both recreational and riding purposes to study the stress levels within three different groups. Cortisol levels and complete haematological profiles have been investigated to assess the impact of different ...

The paper reviews literature data with respect to the importance of studies performed on dogs for indepth knowledge of their behaviour and behavioural expression. Given the close cohabitation of dogs and humans, the study of dogs' behaviour is an important goal in selecting specialized breeds for...

Spinal cord compression syndrome with paraplegia due to spinal disc herniation is a common problem in dogs. The T12-T13 intervertebral disc herniation with paraplegia is often recorded in the small and agile dog breeds. Spontaneous intervertebral disc herniation includes congenital defects of some...

The evolutionary process of mammals has led to important phenotypic changes as a result of their adaptation to the living environment. The most remarkable were due to the specialization of the limbs and consisted of the numerical reduction of the digits. The simplification of the free limb...

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of dry saline aerosol on blood gas changes in horses diagnosed with equine asthma and healthy horses. We hypothesized that the positive effect of dry saline aerosol therapy as a mucolytic would lead to changes in arterial blood gases due to improved...

Lingual salivary glands are exocrine glands responsible for the production of saliva. From those, von Ebner's glands, located in the vicinity of the taste buds, and Weber's glands, present in the root of the tongue can be mentioned. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the minor salivary...

Thermography is a fast, non-invasive, and practical investigative method with relatively few reports of its use in veterinary ophthalmology. There are numerous studies that demonstrate the influence of external factors, as well as patient-related factors on the thermogram values. Starting from the...
