    (2021) Subapriya, S; Pazhanivel, N; Gokulakrishnan, M, et al.,; TANUVAS
    The present study was undertaken to study the incidence of skin tumours in canine population. A total of 160 dogs were diagnosed with skin tumours in the study period. Mast cell tumours 22 (13.75%), sweat gland adenocarcinoma 22 (13.75%), lipoma 18 (11.25%), histiocytoma 14 (8.75%), trichoblastoma 10 (6.25%) and perianal gland adenoma 10 (6.25%) were the tumours with highest order of occurrence. The tumours were recorded in 16 different breeds with the highest number of cases recorded in non-descript 55 (34.38%) followed by Labrador 46 (28.75%) and Spitz 19 (11.88%). Of the cases recorded, 109 (68.13%) were males and 51 (31.88%) were females. The highest incidence of skin tumours was observed in dogs belonging to the age group of 6-10 years 82 (50.63%) followed by 50 (31.25%) in dogs of 1-5 years age group. In the age group of more than 10 years, 25 (15.63%) cases were recorded. Only 3 (1.88%) cases were observed in young dogs of less than one year old. Location wise, higher incidence was observed in limbs 53 (33.13%), followed by trunk 39 (24.38%), head 32 (20.00%), neck 15 (9.38%), perianal region 15 (9.38%) and tail 6 (3.75%) respectively. Of the skin tumours identified, 73 (45.63%) were benign and87 (54.37%) were malignant.

    Surgical management of aural haematoma by leather punch technique using carbon dioxide laser in a dog
    (2022-06) Kibson, S; Pushkin Raj, H; Gokulakrishnan, M, et al.,; TANUVAS
    An aural haematoma is a fluctuant, fluid filled swelling noticed on the concave surface of the pinna, which has a content of either blood or serum between the cartilage plates and the skin (Beteg et al., 2011). The occurrence of aural haematoma is due to frequent ear scratching secondary to otitis externa, trauma to the ear pinnae and violent head shaking due to the presence of ear mite infestation (MacPhail, 2016). In the present case, leather punch technique using CO2 laser was performed.
