ArticleItem Open Access 2-D Ultrasonographic Imaging for the Detection of Renal Abnormalities in Dogs: A Clinical Evaluation of 85 Cases(Indian Veterinary Association, Chennai, 2019-06) Mathai, Varsha Mary; Nagarajan, B.; Sumathi, D.; Basha, Sabiha Hayath; TANUVASAn observational study was conducted to assess the relation between the structural changes of kidneys and the development of clinical signs of renal dysfunction in dogs. Among 356 dogs that underwent ultrasonographic examination using real time B-mode scanner, 85 dogs of different breeds and age belonging to either sex were diagnosed to have various renal pathologies. Among them, 66 dogs were diagnosed to have diffused degenerative changes of renal parenchyma and were often clinically manifested as uremia, proteinuria, hypertension and anaemia. Five dogs had acute kidney injury. Focal abnormalities observed were renal cyst (5), nephrolith (5), solid mass (2) and hydronephrosis (2), but rarely showed clinical manifestations. About 42 dogs were in the age group of 7-10 years and the most common breeds affected were Labrador retrievers and Indian Spitz.ArticleItem Open Access An Adrenocortical Adenoma in a Dog(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-03) Bhavani, M.

Laboratory evaluation of this haemostatic process involves assessment of coagulation profile. The aim of this study was to estimate the reference range for prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in normal dogs. These determinations were made on 15 healthy male and female dogs from various breeds using a semiautomatic coagulometer using commercially available kits for human medicine. The range value for aPTT was 43.17±2.39 second and PT range value was 12.12±0.57 second.OtherItem Open Access Atrial Fibrillation and Its Successful Cardioversion in a Doberman(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2012-07) Yadav, Jitendra Kumar; Sivaprakasam, A.; Selvaraj, P.; Jeyaraja, K.; Sumathi, D.; Nambi, A.P.; Prathaban, S.; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access B-Mode and Doppler Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Prostatic Disorders in Dogs – A Retrospective Study(2018-08) Sumathi, D.; Ramesh, P.; Prathaban, S.; Vairamuthu, S.; TANUVASThe present study was aimed to evaluate the prostatic disorders based on sonographic findings in intact male dogs.

Major clinical signs noticed were dysuria, constipation, discharge from penis and hematuria.ArticleItem Open Access Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) Testing in Labrador Retriever Dogs(Indian Veterinary Association, 2018-09) Ramesh, P.; Sumathi, D.; Prathaban, S.; Chandrasekar, M.; Jayathangaraj, M.G.; TANUVASBrainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) is an electrophysiologic test that detects the electrical activity of the auditory system from cochlea to mid brain through a input of signal called ‘click stimuli’ via external ear to assess the hearing capacity and brainstem abnormalities. Present study was conducted at Referral Clinic of Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, Madras Veterinary College to standardize the normal electrical potential (BAEP) in a twenty three healthy Labrador retriever dogs. Mean values of latencies (Waves l-V, mS) recorded were 1.43, 2.68, 3.73, 4.84, 5.91 respectively, interpeak latencies for Waves l-II, I-V and II-V were 2.30, 4.48 and 2.18 respectively.OtherItem Open Access Caprine Papyraceous Fetal Mummification and its Management(2012-07) Manonnmani, G.; Methai, A.; Sumathi, D.; Sarath, T.; Balasubramanian, S.; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access A Case of Caecal Torsion in a Thoroughbred Horse(2013-10) Venkatesan, M.; Sumathi, D.; Pothiappan, P.; Gowri, B.; Selvaraj, P.; TANUVASColic is a most important and life threatening condition in horses.
