The aim of this study was to determine the cardiac performance of conscious healthy dogs during stimulation with dobutamine. Eight healthy unsedated beagle dogs were used. Cardiac output was measured by the thermodilution technique and blood pressures by extravascular pressure transducers. Dobutamine challenge at a dosage ranging from 27.5 to 50 micrograms kg-1 min-1 induced a significant rise in cardiac power index (CPI), cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI) and heart rate (HR) and a significant decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR). The highest CPI was 2.05 times greater than its basal resting value. The CI was primarily responsible for this increase in CPI. The SI and HR contributed approximately 55 per cent and 45 per cent respectively of the maximal increase in CI. [less ▲]

Closantel Intoxication in a Dog

in Veterinary and Human Toxicology (1995), 37(3), 234-6

A case of overdosage with closantel, a salicynalide derivative, in a dog is described. The dog received 6 times the recommended dosage. Closantel induced optic neuritis, retinal degeneration, partial ... [more ▼]

A case of overdosage with closantel, a salicynalide derivative, in a dog is described. The dog received 6 times the recommended dosage. Closantel induced optic neuritis, retinal degeneration, partial deafness, hepatotoxicosis and myopathy. Only the blindness was irreversible. The therapy included albumin administration to reduce the acute toxicity of closantel. [less ▲]

Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic improvements after L-carnitine supplementation in cardiomyopathic dog.

in Canine Practice (1995), 20(2), 12-15

In dogs suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial concentrations of L-carnitine are sometimes very low. A Labrador suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy was treated with L-carnitine. The dog ... [more ▼]

In dogs suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial concentrations of L-carnitine are sometimes very low. A Labrador suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy was treated with L-carnitine. The dog showed a clear and rapid clinical improvement as well as an improvement of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic indices of cardiac function. Screening by myocardial biopsy in dogs affected by dilated cardiomyopathy and in susceptible breeds is recommended. The dog had been maintained on a strict vegetarian diet. [less ▲]

Acute Polymyopathy after Carbamate Poisoning in a Dog

in Veterinary Record : Journal of the British Veterinary Association (1994), 135(4), 88-90

The acute polymyopathy in a seven-year-old German shepherd dog was attributed to the muscular hypertonia, tremors and seizures which developed during the acute phase of carbamate poisoning. After two days ... [more ▼]

The acute polymyopathy in a seven-year-old German shepherd dog was attributed to the muscular hypertonia, tremors and seizures which developed during the acute phase of carbamate poisoning. After two days of generalised muscular rigidity, the dog adopted a characteristic fetal position which could be explained by the imbalance between the injuries to the extensor and flexor muscles. The polymyopathy resolved gradually over the course of a week. [less ▲]
