“…As a result of validation of the IRIS staging, there is now an international standardisation that has greatly improved prognostication (Boyd et al 2008). Similar initiatives have emerged in attempts to standardise diagnosis (WSAVA International Gastrointestinal Standardization Group), to improve patient assessment (WSAVA Nutritional Assessment Guidelines Task Force), and encourage consensus in controversial areas (ACVM cencensus statements) (Freeman et al 2011;Lees et al 2005;Washabau et al 2010).…”

“…The dog had been adopted and dewormed, and had received its first vaccinations a few months before. On physical examination, the dog was in good condition with a body score of 4 [15] and without any clinical signs apart from a small, firm skin nodule on the chest wall close to the right elbow. This subcutaneous lesion turned out to be a pellet encapsulated by the fibrous tissue.…”

Disseminated hyaline ring granuloma in the omentum of a dog

et al. 2017

BackgroundHyaline ring granuloma (HRG) is an uncommon histopathologic finding of unsolved etiopathogenesis. According to the exogenous theory, HRG develops due to implantation of foreign material, most probably indigestible plant fragments. HRG is a comparatively rare condition in humans, mostly involving the oral cavity with very rare extraoral locations.Case presentationAn 1-year-old mixed-breed dog in good condition was presented for routine ovariohysterectomy. Disseminated HGR were accidentally found in the omental adipose tissue during surgery. Histopathology revealed the presence of ring-like hyaline structures surrounded by granulomatous inflammation including foreign body-type multinucleated giant cells. The histochemical examinations indicated the exogenous plant origin of the foreign material.ConclusionsThe lesions were similar to the findings in humans with HRG. The definitive diagnosis remains largely based on histopathological examination supported by special histochemical stains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of hyaline ring granuloma reported in a non-human species. Moreover, the omentum is an uncommon location for this condition.

“…This latter situation contributes to loss of lean body mass and possible decreases in immune function, wound healing, and survival rate. Nutritional assessment guidelines [19] have been formulated that include methods for early detection of muscle mass to enable clinicians to take preventive measures for animals in a pre-cachectic state. During the catabolic or hyper-metabolic recovery phase, feeding patients foods with increased energy density and increased protein concentration will help prevent additional loss of lean body mass.…”

Nutritional Support of Dogs and Cats after Surgery or Illness

Nutritional support early during the postoperative period or after onset of illness decreases the mortality rate and shortens the duration of hospitalization of dogs and cats. The preferred feeding route is dependent on the condition of the patient. If there are no contraindications, every patient must receive nutritional support, at least consistent with the resting energy requirement (RER). Several nutrients may be beneficial during healing and recovery from illness or surgery, but further research is needed to empirically certify the effects of these nutrients in critically ill patients.
