“…The present study shows that KP‐HED are common in all three breeds. This report is complementary to the description of KP‐HED in three common large Italian dog breeds . The distribution of KP‐HED in these three breeds were specific among each breed and different as compared to KP‐HED described in other small‐sized dog breeds .…”

“…This report is complementary to the description of KP-HED in three common large Italian dog breeds. 16 The distribution of KP-HED in these three breeds were specific among each breed and different as compared to KP-HED described in other small-sized dog breeds. 17 Three of the five most common KP-HED found in these breeds (i.e., 'cataract', 'keratoconjunctivitis sicca', 'retinal dysplasia, geographic or detached forms') are listed in the current list of the ACVO as 'disorders for which there is an unequivocal recommendation against breeding in all breeds'.…”

“…The first most common KP‐HED in the population was the cataract. This is not unexpected because cataracts were extremely common also in large Italian dog breeds as well as in other breeds . In a recent survey, on a total of 2739 dogs presented at an ophthalmology referral center in France, 14.7% of them were diagnosed with a cataract .…”

“…Laxity of connective tissue attachment between the gland and ventral periorbital tissues, as well as antigen-stimulated gland enlargement, are thought to be predisposing risk factors [ 1 ] (p. 963) [ 4 ] (p. 1161). Incidence of prolapse varies by breed and is thought to have a genetic contribution [ 5 , 6 , 7 ] (pp. 442–452).…”

An Evidence-Based Rapid Review of Surgical Techniques for Correction of Prolapsed Nictitans Glands in Dogs

Prolapsed nictitans gland (PNG) is an important ocular condition of dogs. Various surgical interventions have been described, but effective technique is currently considered to be a matter of personal clinician preference. The aim of this rapid review was to evaluate existing peer-reviewed evidence of effectiveness for surgical techniques and their subsequent effects on quantitative and clinical lacrimal outcomes for PNG. We performed a structured bibliographic search of CAB Abstracts, PubMed, and Medline using terms relevant to dogs, nictitans gland, and surgery on 13 September 2017. Included studies were assessed for study design, reporting characteristics, surgical techniques, and surgical and lacrimal outcomes. Fifteen of three hundred fifteen identified studies were eligible for inclusion. Seven different replacement techniques were identified, along with gland excision. All studies were observational or descriptive, with the exception of a single crossover trial. Outcomes reporting was heterogeneous and provided limited detail on lacrimal outcomes or on breed propensity for recurrence. Insufficient data precluded comparison of techniques for either surgical failure rates or lacrimal outcomes, although proportional meta-analysis yielded an overall failure rate of 3% (95% CI 1–7%) for the Morgan’s pocket procedure. Improved reporting of veterinary surgical studies will improve evidence appraisal and synthesis, as well as reduce potential sources of bias.

“…Examining this relationship will be the aim of our future study. Breeding programs should aim to reduce the prevalence of inherited disorders (Guandalini et al, 2016) and maximize the life prolongation. Our results suggest a possible way to prolong age at death of the Cane Corso Italiano breed using appropriate breeding.…”

The Cane Corso Italiano belongs among the new dog breeds that were fully recognised by Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 2007. For the first time, this study describes a median lifespan using the data of 232 dogs of the Cane Corso Italiano breed collected from kennels and individual owners from 25 countries. The median lifespan of the whole examined group is 9.29 years (IQR 6.98-11.12, IQR = Interquartile Range). This paper is the first to describe the possible relationship between median lifespan and hair colour within one breed. The longest living group is formed by black brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.30 years (IQR 8.33-13.00), and brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.13 years (IQR 7.12-11.25). The median lifespan of black brindle dogs exceeded the overall median lifespan of all dogs by 1.01 year and the median lifespan of other colour dogs by 2.21 years. Our results suggest a possible way for a prolongation of age at death of the Cane Corso Italiano breed using appropriate breeding. The median lifespan of male Cane Corso Italiano dogs is 9.25 years (IQR 6.97-11.00) and female Cane Corso Italiano dogs 9.33 years (IQR 7.00-11.31). The statistical analysis using the Independent Samples Student’s t test confirmed that the lifespan of female dogs did not exceed the median lifespan of male dogs ( P >0.01).

Epidemiology of ocular disorders presumed to be inherited in three large Italian dog breeds in Italy

Abstract: Clinicians should be aware that three large Italian dog breeds frequently suffer PIED. Breed standards should be reconsidered, and breeding programs should be directed at limiting such disorders.
