Abstract
This study was undertaken to primarily assess duodenal disorders in dogs and to
identify biochemical and histopathological changes. Duodenal disorders were assessed based
on endoscopic evaluation and were classified. The incidence of duodenal disorders from the
total number of cases and gastrointestinal manifestation were 0.17 per cent 0.92 per cent
respectively. Duodenoscopy was performed in 15 dogs under general anesthesia. No
hematological or biochemical changes could be attributed to duodenal disorders. Among 15
dogs presented for Duodenoscopy, the breeds included were Mongrel (40%), Labrador
Retriever (40%), German Shepherd (6.67%), Dalmatian (6.67%) and Boxer (6.67%). The agegroup
distribution of dogs were >6 months - 1 year (6.67%), >1-4 years (66.67%), >4-8 years
(13.33%), and >8-12 years (13.33%). Males constituted 73.33% and females 26.67%. The
endoscopic evaluation of duodenum revealed Duodenoscopic examination revealed no gross
abnormality in 8 of 15 (53.33 %), mucosal ulceration and erosion in 2 of 15 (13.33 %),
mucosal congestion and hemorrhage in 4 of 15 (26.67 %), and small polyp or mass in 1 of 12
(6.67 %) of cases. Adequate biopsy material could be collected in 12 of 13 (92.31%), of these
12 (92.31%); the histopathological diagnosis included 4 of 12 (33.33 %) did not show any
histological abnormalities, 7 of 12 (58.33 %) had non-specific enteritis and 1 of 12 (8.33 %)
had hyperplasia. Duodenoscopy is a minimally invasive technique and can be considered as an
invaluable procedure while detecting disorders primarily of the duodenum.
