The resection of the ileocolic junction (ICJR) leads to the loss of regulation of both anterograde and retrograde reflux. The loss of anterograde resistance can potentially result in diarrhea, nutrient malabsorption, and even dehydration due to accelerated chyme transit. Resection of the ileocolic junction (ICJ) is sometimes performed alongside the resection of the terminal ileum. Bile acids and cobalamin are reabsorbed in the ileum; therefore, if a significant portion of the ileum is resected along with the ICJ, bile salt malabsorption, intestinal dysbiosis, and hypocobalaminemia may occur, potentially causing chronic diarrhea. FGESF presents as eosinophilic masses that are associated with the gastrointestinal tract and associated abdominal lymph nodes, often localized…

Nosectomy is a radical surgery procedure especially in case of malignant cancer in the nose area of dogs. It is meant for cure or reducing disease burden. It can be challenging as it can produce cosmetic dissatisfaction and owner reluctance. In this case, the dog is diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma SCC with little to no results after various local treatments. As ultimate procedure is proposed a radical nosectomy with the hope of curing or preventing debilitating disease advancement. Nosectomy resulted in complete excision, clean margins, no recurrence but complications should be expected. Local dehiscence is common, narine stenosis is also well described but are manageable, of medium intensity…

Oral SCC in cats is well known and not so uncommon disease. Early disease recognition ant treatment is mandatory. Considering Squam Cell Carcinoma require a great surgical dose, have a low metastatic risk but high local recurrence risk, correlated with a small mouth overall area in cats, even a reduced, subcentimetrical lesion requires at least 1 cm in all directions plus the area of the initial lesion, meaning more than 2.5-3 cm, a large surgery for any cat. This is the case of a 13 y old cat, male, castrated, with prior biopsy and SCC confirmation. Owner discussion and adherence is essential for any following treatment option. In this case,…

With a 15-50% mortality rate adrenalectomy in dogs is a medium-high risk surgery. Perioperative risks are high and extend way after the surgery is over. The older the dog the higher the risk. This is a female dog with the best possible outcome after surgery. de Dr. Daniel Lescai Doctor in Medicina Veterinara
