This case study reports the outcome of dorsal and ventral stabilisation of a traumatic cervical instability in a dog. A 2-year-old, male Pointer was admitted following a motor vehicle accident. Clinical examination revealed non-ambulatory tetraparesis, severe neck pain and upper motor neuron changes in all limbs. Deep pain response was present. Subluxation of C2/3 and fractures of the dorsal spinous process and lamina of C2 were observed on radiographs. Ventral stabilisation was performed with screws and bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate). For dorsal fixation of the fractures, screws and cerclage wire were used. The dog stood up independently after 1 month, was able to walk 1.5 months postoperatively and had recovered completely at 1 year following surgery. We conclude that combined stabilisation techniques are effective for this type of cervical fracture in which the dorsal, middle and ventral structures of the vertebra are severely disrupted.
This paper reports the evaluation of anorectal malformations with two different fistula in two calves. During clinical examination atresia ani and meconium coming from preputium was observed in both calves. Distention of intestines was viewed in radiological examination. Surgical treatment had been preferred in both calves. During surgery it was observed that colon was connected to the bladder with tubelike formation in calf 1. In calf 2 colo-urethral fistula was detected during necropsy. The clinical, surgical and necropsy findings of anorectal malformations with colovesical and colourethral fistula in two calves has been reported for the first time. As a conclusion, the localization of the fistula and the condition of the animal could affect results of surgical treatment. Keywords: Anorectal malformation, Colovesical, Colourethral fistula, Calf İki Buzağıda Karşılaşın Anorektal Malformasyon İle Birlikte Gözlenen Kolovesikal ve Kolouretral Fistül Olgusu ÖzetBu makalede iki ayrı buzağıda iki farklı fistülü bulunan anorektal malformasyonun değerlendirilmesi sunulmuştur. Her iki buzağının klinik muayenesi sırasında atresia ani ve mekonyumun prepisyumdan geldiği belirlendi. Radyografik muayenede ise bağırsakların genişlediği gözlendi. Her iki buzağının opeartif tedavisine karar verildi. Birinci buzağının operasyonunda kolonun tüp şeklinde bir yapı ile idrar kesesine bağlandığı belirlendiği. İkinci buzağıda ise kolonun urertraya fistülleştiği nekropsi sırasında anlaşıldı. Kolovesikal ve koloüretral fistüle sahip iki buzağının klinik, cerrahi ve nekropsi bulguları ilk defa sunulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, fistülün lokalizasyonu ve hayvanın genel durumu cerrahi tedavinin sonucunu etkileyebilmektedir.
