Canine Mast Cell Tumours
Mast cell tumours are common cutaneous neoplasms in dogs and show highly variable biological behaviour, making staging and histopathologic assessment important.
Urolithiasis in Dogs
Canine urolithiasis encompasses mineral concretions in the urinary tract, with management determined by location, composition, obstruction risk and underlying metabolic or infectious factors.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Dogs
Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterised by systolic dysfunction and chamber dilation and occurs most often in large and giant breeds, although phenotype and cause vary.
Canine Vestibular Syndrome
Vestibular syndrome causes imbalance from peripheral or central vestibular dysfunction and requires neuroanatomic localisation before a cause can be prioritised.
Pyometra in Dogs
Pyometra is a potentially life-threatening uterine infection that commonly develops during dioestrus in entire females under progesterone influence.
Protein-Losing Enteropathy in Dogs
Protein-losing enteropathy is a syndrome in which gastrointestinal loss of plasma proteins causes hypoalbuminaemia and potentially oedema, effusion, malnutrition and thrombosis.
Portosystemic Shunts in Dogs
Portosystemic shunts divert portal blood away from the liver, reducing hepatic exposure to nutrients and toxins and allowing neuroactive substances to enter systemic circulation.
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome is a progressive upper-airway disorder that can impair breathing, sleep, exercise and heat tolerance.
Canine Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a predisposition to recurrent unprovoked seizures; idiopathic epilepsy is common, but structural and reactive causes must be considered.
Immune-Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia in Dogs
Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia causes immune destruction of red cells and may progress rapidly; thromboembolism is a major complication.
Hyperadrenocorticism in Dogs
Canine hyperadrenocorticism is a syndrome of chronic glucocorticoid excess, most commonly pituitary dependent but sometimes caused by an adrenal tumour or corticosteroid exposure.
Hypoadrenocorticism in Dogs
Canine hypoadrenocorticism causes deficient adrenal hormone production and may present as chronic intermittent illness or acute adrenal crisis.
