ArticleItem Open Access Duodenoscopic Appraisal of Duodenal Ulcer in Dogs(Veterinary World, 2012-07) Saravanan, Mani; Nagarajan, B.; Kavitha, S.; Balachandran, C.; Srinivasan, S.R.; TANUVASAim: To assess the usefulness of duodenoscopy in the diagnosis of duodenal ulcers in dogs. Materials and Methods: Sick dogs with chronic gastrointestinal problems were physically examined and samples were collected for haematology, biochemistry and faecal examination. Duodenal biopsies, duodenal contents and brush cytology were obtained via duodenoscopy. Results: Seven duodenal ulcers cases were recorded, higher incidences was recorded in Labrador retriever, 2-4 years of aged male dogs. Significantly decreased Hb (9.10 ± 0.25 g/dl), RBCs (4.39 ± 0.19 mill/cu.mm) and albumin (2.343b ± 0.13 g/dl) level were noticed. Hyperaemia with ulceration of duodenal mucosa was observed. Conclusion: Duodenoscopy is very much useful for detection of duodenal ulceration and provided a sensitive technique for early diagnosis of mucosal lesions and ulceration.Book chapterItem Open Access Prologue on DISEASES OF DOGS - for Practioners(2020-03) Saravanan, Mani; TANUVASPet animals play a vital role in the human society as a companion, stress buster, guarding, etc. Health-care management of such pet animals is very much essential.

They may or may not be identifiable through routine radiographic, ultrasonographic, or laboratory evaluation methods, because many diseases of duodenum primarily involve the mucosal surface. Duodenal ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are the duodenal disorders. Duodenoscopy is an efficient way of identifying the abnormalities of mucosal irregularities, distortion, ulceration, neoplasia, and inflammation, and it is also useful for obtaining mucosal biopsy and duodenal juice for routine histopathological and bacteriological studies. This paper will provide more detail about the advanced diagnostic methods and therapeutic measures for various duodenal disorders.
