Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a coitally transmitted tumor of dogs with widespread distribution. The present study describes the occurrence of the primary oral and nasal TVT in a 10-year-old, female, mix-breed dog. The case was presented with a history of anorexia, inability to swallow and dyspnea. Clinical examinations revealed the emaciation, muzzle deformity due to the presence of a friable, fleshy, cauliflower-like mass in the oral cavity and submandibular lymphadenopathy. TVT was diagnosed based on histopathological findings. The dog was discharged with therapeutic intervention with vincristine. Unfortunately, the case died before readmission because of the progressive worsening of the general condition. Our findings highlight the need for considering TVT for the differential diagnosis of the extragenital masses in dogs.

This report describes the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of a dog with third eyelid scrolling associated with prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid, which was treated with a modified surgical technique, and determines whether this procedure preserves the functions of the third eyelid, reduces cartilage shortening, eliminates the recurrence and finally improves the vision. An 8-month-old male German shepherd dog was presented with ocular irritation and epiphora. Ophthalmic examination revealed an everted third eyelid associated with a prolapsed nictitans gland. We performed the Morgan pocket technique to reposition the prolapsed gland in the current case, and the incision of deformed cartilage was done simultaneously. The surgical outcome was excellent with no recurrence or other complications. The Morgan pocket technique is a suitable surgical technique, however we corrected eversion of third eyelid by cutting the central portion of the deformed cartilage rather than removing the whole or part of it. This work may provide an alternative surgical treatment of third eyelid scrolling in dog.
