High incidence of neoplasia in captive jaguar (Panthera onca) has been recorded but there have been no reports of cutaneous adenocarcinoma of the sebaceous gland. A high incidence of neoplasia has been detected in captive jaguars, possibly associated with longevity and husbandry practices in captivity. Neoplasm is a major cause of mortality in jaguar. Tumours of sebaceous gland are common in older domestic felids. A case of cutaneous adenocarcinoma of the sebaceous gland was diagnosed in a male captive jaguar in the Zoological Garden, Alipore, Kolkata, India and was managed successfully. The tumour was observed as a superficial, ulcerated, multilobulated intradermal mass. After preoperative haematological evaluation the tumour was excised through routine surgical procedure under chemical immobilisation. Post-operative management was uneventful. Local tumour recurrence was not noticed till one year after post-operation.

The present study describes the diagnosis of an ascites of hepato-cardiac origin in a two year old Labrador Retriever bitch. The animal was suffering from chronic cough and recurrent ascites for more than six months. The physical examination revealed ascites which was confirmed through ultrasonography along with hepatic cyst. All the hemato-biochemical reports were found normal except TLC. Upon electrocardiography, it was revealed biphasic QRS comples (rS), widening of S wave and right axis deviation suggestive of right bundle branch block.
