“…14-16 While less common, masses, both benign and neoplastic as well as a variety of inflammatory lesions of the duodenum have been reported in the literature. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Positional survey radiography may provide an inexpensive, readily available method for further evaluating some of these lesions.…”

Identification of the duodenum and potential abnormalities on survey abdominal radiographs is often difficult unless it contains gas. This study investigated the effect of patient positioning on the presence of duodenal gas in survey abdominal radiographs. One hundred dogs receiving a three-view survey abdominal radiographic study were enrolled in a prospective, randomized study where all dogs were divided into two groups. Group A (n = 51) dogs had a left lateral projection first, followed by a ventrodorsal projection, ending with a right lateral projection. Group B (n = 49) dogs had a right lateral projection first, followed by a ventrodorsal projection, ending with a left lateral projection. The presence of gas within the duodenum and level of distribution of gas throughout the duodenum were recorded for all three projections. In addition, the presence or absence of duodenal pseudoulcers was evaluated on all three projections for each dog. The results for the two groups were compared using Chi-square analysis with a P-value of less than 0.05 being considered significant. Results showed that dogs first placed in left lateral recumbency were significantly more likely to have duodenal gas on the subsequent ventrodorsal and right lateral radiographic projections compared to dogs first placed in right lateral recumbency (P-value < 0.0001). Pseudoulcers were seen in 11 dogs that had duodenal gas making the visualization of pseudoulcers on survey abdominal radiographs somewhat commonplace. This study emphasizes the benefit of using initial left lateral abdominal projections prior to other views for subsequent evaluation of the duodenum.

“…In dogs and other animals, peritonitis due to ruptures associated with intestinal ulcers is a common clinical finding (Hinton et al 2002;Case et al 2010). However, intestinal tumours generally appear radiographically as masses that are narrowing or obstructing the intestinal lumen (Hurov 1962;Head et al 2002).…”

An 11-year-old male Cocker Spaniel was examined for a palpable abdominal mass located in the jejunum after presenting with a history of anorexia and constipation for several weeks. In a contrast radiogram, a structure with well-defined borders adjacent to the intestine was determined. The intestinal mass, measuring 16 × 9.19 × 8.6 cm and weighing 900 g was surgically removed. At gross examination, when the lumen of a portion of the intestine excised together with the tumour mass was exposed, an ulcerated, oval-shaped area 1.2 × 0.6 cm in size was observed on the mucosa. The outer surface of the tumour was homogenous and expanded outwards from the intestinal wall. Histologically, the tumour was composed of fusiform-elongated spindle-shaped to polygonal neoplastic cells forming interlacing fascicles or interwoven bundles in an atypical herringbone pattern. Immnunohistochemically, neoplastic cells stained intensely positive for vimentin, and negative for α-SMA, desmin, cyotokeratin (AE1/AE3), S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neuron specific enolase and synaptophsin. On the basis of the histopathological and immunohistochemical results, the tumour was diagnosed as a fibrosarcoma. The present report is a very rare description of fibrosarcoma of the dog intestine associated with intestinal perforation.

“…There is also a direct effect on gastric epithelial cells, whereby NSAIDs are trapped by pH gradient changes and lead to cell necrosis (Fig 2b) (Singh and Triadafilopoulos 1999, Matz and Guilford 2003). Clinical signs vary and are often undetectable via history and examination alone (Hinton and others 2002). Common significant effects are vomiting (with or without haemorrhage), melaena and anorexia (Lascelles and others 2005, Monteiro-Steagall and others 2013), but more severe manifestations include peritonitis and GI necrosis, and may ultimately result in death or euthanasia (Stanton and Bright 1989).…”

Monitoring side effects of long‐term NSAID use in dogs with chronic osteoarthritis

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used analgesic medications in human and veterinary medicine. In osteoarthritis they are used for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. A number of NSAIDs are licensed for use in dogs in the UK, and are affordable and easy to administer. However, their use is associated with a range of side effects, which can become particularly relevant in cases that require long-term treatment. This article reviews the adverse effects of NSAIDs and the current monitoring procedures in animals and people on long-term NSAID therapy. Emerging and alternative procedures for monitoring these patients are also discussed.
