    SURGICAL REPAIR OF MANDIBULAR FRACTURE BY WIRING,PMMA PLATE AND TITANIUM MINI PLATE IN DOGS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) MAHESH S.A.
    Mandibular fracture repair presents several unique problems compared to long bone fractures. A mandible has a capability to withstand several forces when compared to weight bearing long bones. Presence of teeth in fracture line poses an additional problem. Loss of mandibular function results in lack of intake of fluid and food. The curved contour of mandible makes several orthopedic implants unsuitable for their application in mandibular fracture

    HIP SCORING IN DOGS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) SUBIN KOLADY
    Canine hip dysplasia is an inherited, developmental orthopaedic disorder of the hip joint in large and giant breed of dogs. Hippocrates had recognized the condition in human beings, as early as 400 BC. Hip dysplasia as a disease condition in dogs Was first reported by Schnelle (1937) and he described it as â bilateral, congenital subluxation of the coxofemoral jointsâ . More recently, the disease has been diagnosed in a variety of species like cattle, horse, elk, rabbit and dingoes: still the condition is more prevalent in purebred dogs. No single disease condition has been the source of more controversy, debate and scientific publications than canine hip dysplasia (Read, 2000). There are only a few points of consensus regarding the disease apart from the fact that it has a multifactorial etiology that involves a genetic component and is associated with hip joint laxity (Lust, 1997).

    ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR BIRTH CONTROL IN DOGS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) DODDAMANI JAHANGIRBASHA
    Unwanted stray dogs and uncontrolled pets are primary sources of ecological and social problems. The female dogs are still widely perceived as the primary targets for reproductive control on the premises that owners of fertile males are not likely to be concerned with pregnancies or the offsprings of bitches. As a consequence the development of contraceptives for controlling the growth of the pet population has been primarily directed towards the female of the species. However, the participation of both sexes is an unavoidable requirement for pregnancy, and the contribution of the male to the overall growth of the pet population can no longer be ignored as each intact male is reproductively active year round and therefore capable of siring a number of litters. The sterilization of a large number of males would effectively contribute to curb the growtli of pet population (Patrica and Shirley, 1993). Currently, the only proven means of contraception for the dogs are confinement and surgical sterilization. As effective as these two procedures are, neither has been widely embraced by the public, and the need for the development of suitable alternative has been recognized by the veterinary profession and human associations.
