Krasoty, FGBO in the The Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology named after K.I. Skryabin, Russian Federation EXTERIOR AND CONSTITUTIONAL FEATURES AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LIVING WEIGHT IN DOGS OF DECORATIVE BREEDS Abstract. The creation of dogs of the desired type is possible only when taking into account the patterns of individual development, as well as factors that influence the rearing of puppies. Ontogeny is a set of quantitative and qualitative changes that occur after fertilization of the egg and the formation of a zygote, throughout the life of an individual in accordance with the genotype inherited by it and the reaction rate. The individual development of a dog can be defined otherwise than as a set of age-related, morphological, biochemical and physiological changes that take place in the body throughout life. In ontogeny, the organism undergoes changes in growth and development. Every organism reaches maturity after a more or less long period of growth and development, the first of these terms means only an increase in size, while the term development means a change in structure. Both of these processes are interconnected. Constitution and exterior are important indicators of economically useful qualities of dogs. The constitutional characteristics of organisms are formed in the process of ontogenesis under the influence of the hereditary inclinations of the parents. An important factor in the formation of the constitution together with heredity are environmental conditions, especially feeding. Keywords: exterior, breed, constitution, live weight, measurements, indices. Five dog breeds were selected for the study: Chihuahua, Miniature Poodle, Pug, Pekingese and Chinese Crested. All dogs used in the study were bitches, all newborns at the start of the experiment. Changes in body weight indices were determined in each of the animals once a month during the period of their growth for 18 months. During the experiment, the dogs were kept in a closed kennel "GENTLY BORN", located at the address Russia, Moscow region, Dolgoprudny, which is included in the rating of the RKF-Top kennels of Russia according to the 565 color.

Comparative analysis of the live weight of Chihuahua, dwarf poodle, Chinese crested dog, Pekingese and pug. According to the result of the analysis of Figure 2, we determined that the highest indicators in live weight had dogs of the pug breed, which were superior to the dogs of the studied group for all months, except for 2 and 3 months, its approximate absolute increase was from 300-950 g per sous. Dwarf-type poodle dogs up to 3-4 months had the highest live weight, during these periods their absolute growth ranged from 30-40 g per day. The Chinese Crested Dog and the Pekingese had almost equal live weight, but the weight of the Pekingese, starting from 5-6 months, began to significantly exceed the live weight of the Chinese Crested, and by 18 months the weight of the Pekingese was almost 1 kg more than the Chinese Crested. The Chihuahua's live weight is the lowest, by month 18, its weight was 1.5 kg, and the absolute increase in recent months was 264.4 g. 567 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN XXI CENTURY 200 180 184,4 151 160 150,2 134,6 126,6 140 125,8 119,2 116,4 115,2 112,2 111,4 120 108,2 90 100 88,2 80,2 71,6 70,2 80 66,8 64,2 60,8 54,2 51,8 51,6 51,4 49 60 48,6 43 42,2 36,6 33,2 33 40 31,2 22,4 20 19,8 20 0 Чихуахуа Пудель карликового типа Китайская хохлатая собака Пекинес Мопс Fig. 3. Comparative analysis of the indices of Chihuahua, dwarf poodle, Chinese crested dog, Pekingese and pug Examining Figure 3, we can see that almost all Pekingese dog indices exceed those of Chihuahua, Miniature Poodle, Chinese Crested and Pug, with the exception of the long-headedness index. The dwarf-type poodle has the highest long- headedness index; it exceeds the indicators of other dog breeds by about 10-13%. The indices of the Chinese crested and the dwarf poodle are approximately equal, but the broadbone index of the Chinese crested is less by 21%. Judging by Figure 3, the pug has the smallest format index, and the pug breed has the average indicators among all the studied breeds. Conclusion: We have established general patterns of growth in dogs of different breeds, i.e. adaptation, continuity, rhythm. All puppies develop in accordance with breed characteristics. In a comparative analysis of the growth characteristics of dogs of different breeds, it was found that the live weight at birth in dogs met the standards for the breed. The absolute gain was uniform, reaching the maximum weight gain by 18 months. In pug dogs, live weight increased by almost 8 kg over 18 months, the absolute weight gain was 300-950 g per month. The smallest growth rates were in Chihuahua dogs, the live weight of which, by 18 months was 1590 g, the absolute weight gain for 18 months was 1.5 kg. According 568 SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION «INTERCONF» | № 44 to the data of the body build indices, the miniature poodle and the Chinese crested dog showed slight fluctuations in values, only the pygmy poodle had higher indices for the broad-brow index. According to the data obtained from the measurements of the dogs, all the dogs met the standards for their breed. References: 1. Abrezanova Y. A. Overexposure of dogs / Y. A. Abrezanova, V. S.

  • Thesis Formatted
    Identifying and Treating Neuropathic Pain in Dogs with Syringomyelia Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ashley C. Hechler, DVM Graduate Program in Comparative Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee Sarah A. Moore, DVM, MS, DACVIM, Advisor Lynette K. Cole, DVM, DACVD Laurie B. Cook, DVM, DACVIM Eric T. Hostnik, DVM, MS, DACVR Copyrighted by Ashley C. Hechler, DVM 2019 Abstract Syringomyelia (SM) is a debilitating condition in the cavalier King Charles spaniel (CKCS) that results in neuropathic pain and diminished quality of life. Von Frey aesthesiometry (VFA) is a method of mechanical quantitative sensory testing that provides an objective sensory threshold (ST) value and can be used to quantify neuropathic pain and monitor response to therapy. The utility of VFA has been previously established in client-owned dogs with acute spinal cord injury and osteoarthritis but the technique has not been evaluated in dogs with SM. The goal of this study was to evaluate ST, as determined by VFA, in dogs with and without SM, to assess the utility of VFA in quantifying NP in SM-affected dogs. We hypothesized the SM- affected CKCS would have lower ST values consistent with hyperesthesia, when compared to control CKCS. Additionally, we hypothesized that ST values in SM-affected dogs would be inversely correlated with syrinx size on MRI and with owner-derived clinical sign scores. ST values for the thoracic and pelvic limbs differed significantly between SM-affected and control CKCS (p=0.027; p=0.0396 respectively).

  • Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
    Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Providing excellence in patient care… © 2018 Veterinary Specialist Services Pty Ltd | ABN 29 093 815 359 Website: www.vss.net.au Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Some breeds of dogs and cats are prone to difficult, obstructive breathing because of the shape of their head, nose and upper airways. The most common dogs affected are the “brachycephalic” breeds. Brachycephalic means “short- headed.” Some common brachycephalic dog breeds include the English bulldog, French bulldog, Pug, Pekingese, and Boston terrier. These dogs have been bred to have relatively short muzzles and noses and, because of this, the upper airways are compressed and there is obstruction of airflow through the upper airways. The condition worsens with age and may lead to secondary changes. Some cat breeds such as the Persian have similar brachycephalic problems. The primary problems seen in brachycephalic dogs include: 1. Stenotic nares – where the nostrils are too small to allow adequate passage of air making breathing through the nose difficult. 2. Elongated soft palate – where the soft palate is too long. In these cases the soft palate is excessively long allowing it to sit within the opening of the trachea (windpipe) and thus obstructs normal airflow. The elongated soft palate creates turbulent airflow resulting in the increased respiratory noise we hear in brachycephalic dogs, including snoring. 3. Tracheal hypoplasia – where the trachea (windpipe) is too small. This condition cannot be treated however addressing the other airway issues may be of benefit. 4. Tonsillar hyperplasia or enlarged tonsils. This is common in brachycephalic breeds due to chronic inflammation. Some surgeons advise tonsillectomy at the time of airway surgery.
